Nine suites make up the refuge that is Capella Lodge. Beach-shack vibes, chic interiors and unfathomably, incredible views make this the paradise that it is. Treat yourself to a stay in the Makambo Loft, where a heated plunge pool overlooks Mount Gower and Lidgbird. 

Amsterdam’s maritime museum immerses you into the rich naval history of the Netherlands with its vast art collections and interactive multi-media showcases. From fun activities for the little ones to fascinating alternating exhibitions, this museum tells the story of the Netherlands’ years at sea.

Let’s face it. Not every zoo in every city is worth visiting. In fact, we’d wager that most of them don’t hold any particular appeal for anyone over the age of nine. Artis, however, is a totally different story. It is a true gem. One of the oldest zoos in Europe – & the oldest in the Netherlands – Artis is both beautiful & educational. Make sure to check out its botanic gardens while you’re there.

This cosy, intimate restaurant nestled in Amsterdam’s Rapenburg is enamoured with the idea of serving only the best seasonal products from local craft suppliers. If that isn’t tempting enough, their focus on top-notch wine pairings should sufficiently lure you inside. Though they’re not open for lunch, the kitchen is still churning out their delicious food until quite late, so it’s a great spot to pop into after the ballet.
