Nice apartment with sauna, near the Markermeer

Resort Poort van Amsterdam is characterised by the unique location. It does not get any more genuinely North Holland than this: the authentic town of Uitdam and its surroundings, the water of the Markermeer and the lively capital Amsterdam, just fifteen minutes away by car.

The resort, which opened in 2016, has a broad selection of different, luxurious holiday homes and apartments. The entire resort was built in the style that you might expect here: authentic on the outside, but equipped inside with all luxury, comfort, and amenities. And that is truly the case for the whole resort. You get the feeling that you are staying in a separate village.

Because practically all of the houses are directly on water-thoroughfare, Resort Poort van Amsterdam is especially suited to water sports enthusiasts due to the beach, the water sports centre and the marina by appointment. But nature lovers will also find these surroundings interesting. The many water fowl, extensive meadows, and diverse nature reserves in the immediate vicinity offer plenty of opportunities.

On the resort itself, you will not have a moment of boredom. There are various facilities for young and old. These vary from a covered swimming pool to playgrounds and from a spa to a hip, stylish restaurant with a cosy bar and terrace. Here you can enjoy wonderful dishes or simply enjoy a bite to eat and a drink. For fresh rolls in the morning and the small daily groceries, you will find what you need in the mini-market. For the little ones, there is an indoor play paradise.

There is plenty to do in the area. There are various public golf courses. Fort Beemster is located just 15 km away. In this impressive building listed as a Unesco World Heritage site, a unique spa and wellness centre and restaurant have been tastefully created. The combination of historical elements, the surprising design, and the natural environment of the Beemsterpolder will make a visit into an unforgettable experience. The capital Amsterdam is located just 13 km away. This city needs no further explanation, which you must have seen. Cities like Haarlem (40 km) and Alkmaar (42 km) are also certainly worth a visit. Cosy terraces and restaurants and, of course, shopping streets. Alkmaar is the fifth-largest shopping town in the Netherlands. The fishing village of Volendam (14 km) is also worth a visit. Do you want to really experience North Holland life in the 18th and 19th centuries? Then visit the Zaanse Schans (18 km). Old trades, special museums, working windmills, and magnificent old houses, you will find it all here.

In short, Resort Poort van Amsterdam has it all! Whether you want an active holiday, are a nature lover, or are looking for a good starting point to explore North-Holland, you can find it all here. Happy holidays!
