fig. 141Waterpark De Alde Feanen is a water-based holiday park run by Landal, situated in De Veenhoop in the heart of Friesland. The park is positioned directly on the Frisian waterways, giving guests immediate access to open water.
Accommodation at De Alde Feanen
The park offers luxury water villas, built on spacious plots that provide room and privacy. Most accommodations include a private mooring jetty, allowing guests to tie up their own boat directly at their front door. The villas are suited to those who want to be on or near the water throughout their stay.
Facilities at the park
Guests can rent a small motorboat on site if they have not brought their own vessel. The generous plot sizes and waterside setting mean the park has a quiet, spread-out character. Facilities are oriented around the water rather than a central entertainment complex.

Exploring the Frisian lakes and waterways
De Veenhoop sits on the edge of De Alde Feanen, a national park made up of lakes, peat bogs, reed beds and narrow channels that form one of the largest wetland areas in the Netherlands. The area is well suited to sailing, canoeing, cycling and birdwatching. The nearby town of Earnewâld is a recognised gateway to the Frisian lakes and offers boat hire, small restaurants and waterside terraces. Further afield, the historic cities of Leeuwarden and Sneek are reachable by water or by road and offer museums, markets and a wider range of shops and dining.
Getting to De Alde Feanen
The park is located near De Veenhoop, roughly between Leeuwarden and Drachten, both of which have good road and rail connections. Leeuwarden, the provincial capital of Friesland, is the most practical nearby city for arrivals by public transport.
Who this park suits
De Alde Feanen is a sound choice for couples or families who want a water-centred holiday with a high degree of privacy and direct access to one of the most extensive lake and wetland systems in the Netherlands. It is less suited to guests looking for an activity-heavy resort with on-site entertainment.
