Burgh-Haamstede

At the head of Schouwen on the isle of Schouwen-Duiveland, you will find Burgh-Haamstede. It consists of two parts: Burgh and Haamstede. This beautiful village in Zeeland boasts vast nature reserves and a beautiful lighthouse, and it is also incredibly charming. There is a good reason why many tourists flock to Burgh-Haamstede every year: it is a popular holiday destination, and rightly so!

Things to do in Burgh-Haamstede 

Burgh-Haamstede is a beautiful place that is well worth a visit, with many opportunities to get active or relax. Dating back to the 13th century, the impressive castle of Haamstede is an absolute must-see. Surrounded by stunning gardens, the castle offers a fascinating glimpse into the region's history.

Restaurant Burgh-Haamstede 

Like everywhere else in Zeeland, Burgh-Haamstede is a real paradise for seafood lovers. You will find several restaurants here that serve fish straight from the sea: the best seafood there is! Visit Bistro West, for example, where you can enjoy fantastic dishes. In addition to tasting amazing, these dishes are also a feast for the eyes. This Bistro specialises in meat: all steaks served are grilled on lava stones! Bistro West also serves vegetarian food: they are known for their delicious burgers, but are also increasingly specialising in vegetarian and vegan dishes too. In other words: there is something for everyone! If you simply can't get enough of seafood, you should definitely stop by Restaurant Het Vissershuis. From Dutch shrimp to Dover sole, sea bass, large prawns and, of course, mussels. True seafood lovers can eat their fill here, but meat lovers and vegetarians will also find delicious items on the menu! If you want to partake of the nightlife after dinner, Renesse is only a few kilometres away: a famous (and infamous!) seaside resort bursting with pubs and nightclubs.
