A Fresh Retreat Awaits
Whether you’re coming with your lover, your mom, your best friend, or just treating yourself (love that journey for you) — this seasonal package is your perfect excuse to fully escape for a while.
Because tucked away between Rotterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht lies a hidden gem: Gouda. And no, it’s not just about cheese.
It’s about staying in a historic orphanage transformed into the elegant Relais & Châteaux Weeshuis Gouda.
Get ready to fall in love with: cozy rooms, soft throws, heavy drapes, serene calm, the most heavenly Coco-Mat beds, luxurious Zenology bath products, candlelight, coffee & cocktail bar COCO, Michelin-starred Restaurant LIZZ*, and major style points.
Wondering what to do in and around Gouda this spring and summer? There’s plenty to keep you busy! A few highlights:
The Cheese Market
Held every Thursday from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM (from early April through the end of August), this iconic market brings Gouda’s cheese-trading traditions to life right in the city center.
Keukenhof
Every spring, Keukenhof in Lisse transforms into a vibrant sea of flowers, including tulips and hyacinths. A perfect day out filled with scenic walking routes, activities, and photo spots among the blooming bulb fields!
Kinderdijk
Discover how the Dutch have lived below sea level for centuries. Cruise past the iconic windmills on a boat tour, meet the millers, and even take a look inside one of the mills. It’s a unique way to experience the country’s historic water management system — and see how it has evolved over time.
