Following investments of 20 million Euros, eight new holiday compounds will be operating under the name of Sunparks in the most beautiful regions of Belgium and the Netherlands, with two of the properties being the first ever to operate in Germany. Sunparks’ comfortable holiday homes offer privacy like at home, while delivering comprehensive service in restaurants and a large range of leisure, sports and shopping. The Sunparks, all located in beautiful natural landscapes, offer discounts of up to 36 percent with a clever combination of the advantages of early booking and additional reductions.
Sunparks see themselves as the best holiday option in their respective locations and as optimal starting points for typical experiences in the specific holiday environment, such as shelling shrimps, carriage rides in the Eifel and many more. Therefore, every park offers tourist guides with valuable inside tips for holiday planning.
The Sunparks are aiming to offer simply the best conditions for holidays in the most beautiful close-by holiday regions. The eight currently operating holiday compounds are all situated in the midst of beautiful nature – be it the Wadden Sea, lakes, moors, or forests in the hills. As the ideal resort for families and nature and sports lovers, they invite to hiking, cycling and water sports far away from the turbulent urban lifestyle, as well as trips to interesting small towns and metropolises. As an alternative to the outdoor program, all Sunparks compounds offer Aquafun Water Worlds and other indoor sports facilities, with four of them also offering the indoor playgrounds Kids World on an area of 800 square meters.
Sunparks De Haan by the North Sea is not only close to the most beautiful bathing resort on the North Sea coast of Belgium, going by the same name, but also in the vicinity of the Flemish jewel of a town, Bruges. The new Sunparks Zandvoort by the North Sea attracts visitors with endless dunes and the close vicinity to the cultural centers of Amsterdam and Haarlem. Sunparks Oostduinkerke by the Northsea and Sunparks Nordseeküste shine with the Wadden Sea and the conveniently accessible excursion destinations by the Westhoek and Bremen. Moorland, on the other hand, awaits the guests of Sunparks Kempense Meren and Limburgse Peel, and the Sunparks Eifel is set in the bizarre world of the volcanoes. For hikers and mountain bikers, the nearly endless forests around Sunparks Ardennes make for its special charme.
Depending on lead time, Sunparks grant early bookers’ rebates between ten and 20 percent, young families and guests from 55 years up get an additional 15 percent reduction. Those who combine cleverly can thus get a total rebate of 32 percent, with another ten Euros saved by those who book online at www.sunparks.de. This increases savings to up to 36 percent.
