Summer holidays in Limburg

All the sunny activities you can think of

Summer vacation for 2023 in Limburg: a sight to behold! Surrounded by water on three sides, the villas, apartments, and hotel rooms of Parc Maasresidence Thorn truly stand out in the summer, and not without reason. The lush waters offer all kinds of fun activities.

Explore the lakes and channels on a sloop or paddle boat, peacefully enjoy nature on a SUP-board, discover your limits on an E-Foil, or simply stretch out and relax on the MRT Beach. On dry land, there is plenty to do as well! Take a summer hike or bike ride through mesmerizing nature, shop for a cute summer outfit at Designer Outlet Roermond, or enjoy an iced coffee on the sunny terrace of Humphrey’s Thorn! Below you can find a number of outings and tips for what you can do during the summer in Midden-Limburg.

Water, water, water!

The Maasplassen form the largest continuous water sports area in the Netherlands. It is especially lovely here in the summer. Rent a sloop or paddle bike from the MRT Harbor and explore the surroundings. Try your hand (and foot) on the SUP board or E-Foil. You can even attempt to master the SUP Bike! Naturally, you can also just go swimming in De Grote Hegge. Simply take a beach towel with you to the MRT Beach and enjoy a day filled with water and sun.

Wish to come on by with your own boat? That’s possible too! If you’re a park guest, you can dock your boat at the marina and spend the night in one of our luxury villas, apartments, or hotel rooms.

Inside Pool

You can’t say summer without saying swimming, and at Parc Maasresidence Thorn there are ample swimming opportunities. The MRT Pool consists of no less than three pools: the kiddie pool, the main pool, and the whirlpool!

No swimming pool can truly call itself a pool without a long slide. Whiz on downwards and catch your breath on the comfortable sunbeds after.

A Stay with a Stunning View

As dusk slowly falls, the blue bridge, the villas, and the old green trees cast long shadows across De Grote Hegge in the setting sun. At that point, nothing beats a cold white wine and a balcony overlooking nature’s spectacle.

The apartments and hotel rooms of Parc Maasresidence Thorn offer an amazing stay directly adjacent to the Maasplassen. Immerse yourself in the stylish comfort of these brand-new accommodations.
