A new piece of the Netherlands

A new piece of the Netherlands
A brand new piece of the Netherlands has recently emerged in the Markermeer: Marker Wadden. This is a unique project by Natuurmonumenten (Dutch Society for Nature Conservation) to restore nature in the Markermeer. These five islands are home to many different plants, birds and fish species. The best way to discover this special place is on foot.

Far away from everything

Far away from everything
On the Marker Wadden you really feel like you are all alone on an island, far away from everyday life. Enjoy the birds, some of these species are very rare. And have a great time on the beach.

Sustainable island cottages

Sustainable island cottages
The island cottages are sustainably built and furnished by Ikea. They are also energy-neutral and yet equipped with every modern convenience and luxury. We donate the entire rental proceeds to Natuurmonumenten, for further research and development in this area.

Welcome to Landal Marker Wadden

At the heart of a unique new nature reserve, you’ll find Landal Marker Wadden. Here, far away from the hectic pace of everyday life, you’ll experience true island living. You will stay on the Haveneiland (harbour island), one of the five expansive islands that make up the Marker Wadden archipelago. The four island houses on this island have been furnished with luxury and comfort in mind.

You can relax and unwind here following a lovely stroll on the beach. Take a hike and explore the natural beauty, then try a dip in the Markermeer lake. And don’t forget to bring your binoculars, as a wide range of bird species can be spotted in the nature reserve. Natuurmonumenten (Dutch Society for Nature Conservation) ensures that 100% of the rental revenue is used to benefit nature. This is our way of working together to secure new nature areas in our country.
