Parc Maasresidence Thorn is a resort near the white-walled town of Thorn, sitting at the heart of the Maasplassen - the largest connected water recreation area in the Netherlands. The park has villas and apartments within easy walking distance of the central MRT Promenade building, where you'll find the reception desk, a shop and bakery, a bowling alley, an F1 race centre, and a kids club. Restaurant Humphrey's Thorn serves breakfast, lunch and dinner inside and on a terrace.

Across from the MRT Promenade is the MRT Pool, which has a main pool, a children's pool, a bubble bath and a long water slide, with seating around the pool area. The MRT Harbor gives guests a place to moor their own boats or rent one from the park, and from there you can cross the blue bridge to the MRT Beach Club, a private beach with a beach bar, swimming, paddleboarding, SUP, surfing and e-foiling on offer.

The Maasplassen surround the park on all sides, so water-based activities are the main draw here. Thorn itself is a short walk away and worth seeing for its cluster of white-painted buildings, a characteristic you won't find anywhere else in the Netherlands.

This suits families who want a full programme of on-site activities and easy access to open water, as well as couples who prefer a quieter stay with the option to rent a boat and head out onto the lakes.
