Picture the scene: you wake up in a luxury holiday home. The sound of the sea is just 200 m away. It’s going to be another beautiful day. But first: breakfast. Indoors, or on your very own patio. Afterwards, you gather up your things and head for the beach to feel the rush of fresh air and enjoy the weather and the view. Heading out on your bike is always an option too. While riding through the picturesque landscape, you’ll pass by castles and ancient villages. One special photo opportunity after the other. Ostend is less than half an hour away by car. Here, everything is bustling with life: the promenades, the casino, the outside seating at restaurants and bars, the crowds. Belgium is both homely and hedonistic. The best of both worlds.
