Nieuwpoort, historic city on the Belgian coast

Maison Albert is located in the centre of the city with its centuries-old history. Wander through the streets; there are plenty of nice boutiques, coffee shops and fine restaurants that are open all year round.
A car-free 2 kilometer promenade connects Nieuwpoort-city with Nieuwpoort-bath. Within half an hour you walk to the beach. The marina you come across on the way gives you the ultimate holiday feeling. Rather lazy? Then take the tram to the coast.

There is plenty to do in the area. Rent bicycles and go out in the rich polder landscape. Go for a walk through the dunes or enjoy a wide range of water sports. Sailing, surfing, kayaking, wave carting, sports fishing, it’s all possible. Don’t be surprised if you spot a seal on your trip. They are often seen in the area. For the little ones there is a nice petting zoo and a subtropical swimming pool nearby.

Your own beach cabin

A nice touch of Maison Albert is that from mid-April to mid-September you have a fully equipped beach cabin* at your disposal in Nieuwpoort-Bad. How nice is that?

* Subject to the concession being granted by the city of Nieuport.

Walking

For nature lovers there is a lot to experience in Nieuwpoort and the surrounding area. The ‘Yzermonding’ nature reserve is unique on the Belgian coast, nowhere else is there a river mouth where beach, dune lands and polder connect.

Do you like some fresh air? Don’t you get enough of the smell of the North Sea? Then take a walk on one of the two piers of Nieuwpoort. With great sea views, the piers of Nieuwpoort are a must-see!
