Overnight stay in the Fort Guardhouse
Unique places to sleep, close to the sea

Special overnight stay in Den Helder

Staying overnight at Den Helder is always special. You're never far from the coast, no matter where you stay; within ten minutes you can be standing with your feet in the sand or overlooking the Wadden Sea. But it can get even more special. At Den Helder, you'll find accommodations you won't find anywhere else.

How about sleeping in a real coast guard tower, a beach house right on the sea, or a fort guard's house nestled in the heart of a defense line? There are even places where you can stay in a former bunker, robust on the outside, surprisingly comfortable on the inside. These unique accommodations combine comfort with character, history with tranquility, and views with depth.

Discover unique places to sleep, from towers to bunkers, always close to the sea.
