Slow down without going farLeave the alarm off. If you fancy yoga or a few quiet minutes of meditation, there’s a class before the rest of the hotel is up. If you’d rather not, nobody minds: have another hour in bed. Breakfast takes as long as it takes.Afterwards, perhaps a ramble with no destination in mind, or a bike ride that takes you rather further than you meant to go, followed by a long soak in the mineral baths or the spa. Somewhere in the day you’ll finish that book, have a massage and linger over dinner without once checking your watch.It sounds like a trip that takes serious planning. It doesn’t. All of this is waiting in the Netherlands, from the dunes of Zeeland to the mineral springs of Groningen.That’s the idea behind Slowlands: seeing the Netherlands at a gentler pace. Less box-ticking, more lingering. No checklist, no itinerary, just days you fill as you please, or leave empty.
