Vitamaris

Vitamaris is a car-free holiday park on Schiermonnikoog, the smallest inhabited island of the Frisian Wadden Islands. The park is part of the Landal network and sits within easy walking distance of the island's wide sandy beach.

Accommodation at Vitamaris

The park offers 62 apartments, all furnished to a comfortable standard. On arrival, the beds are made up, with the exception of the sofa bed, which is a practical detail for families and groups. The apartments come with free Wi-Fi included.

Facilities on the grounds

Vitamaris has an indoor swimming pool with a paddling pool for young children, which keeps the park usable regardless of the weather. There is also a wellness area with a sauna and a Turkish steam bath. The car-free setting means the grounds are quiet, and the shuttle service from the ferry port to the park, which is free of charge, makes arriving and leaving straightforward.

Getting around Schiermonnikoog

Schiermonnikoog is a National Park, and the island is known for its dunes, tidal flats, forests and open polders. The park has a good network of cycling routes running through these landscapes, making a bicycle the most practical way to get around. The beach itself is broad and stretches along much of the island's north coast. The small village of Schiermonnikoog has a handful of restaurants, shops and cafes within cycling or walking distance. Birdwatchers will find the Wadden Sea mudflats particularly rewarding, as the area supports large numbers of migrating and wintering birds throughout the year.

Getting to Vitamaris

Schiermonnikoog is reached by ferry from Lauwersoog, a port in the province of Groningen. The crossing takes approximately 45 minutes, and cars must be left behind in Lauwersoog. The free shuttle service connects the ferry terminal on the island to the park.

Who Vitamaris suits

Vitamaris is well suited to visitors who want a quiet, nature-focused stay on one of the more remote Wadden Islands. The car-free environment and the wellness facilities also make it a reasonable option for couples looking for a restful break, while the indoor pool and the outdoor setting give families with younger children plenty to keep them occupied.
