Spectacular event locations in the Netherlands
Naturally, any event you organise needs to run perfectly and be arranged down to the last detail. But that's not all; it also needs to be a memorable event that guests will talk about and tell others about. This can, of course, be achieved in many ways, such as adding a theme to the event, hiring a well-known artist or speaker, but also by choosing a unique venue. In this blog, we would like to introduce you to some special event venues in the Netherlands for inspiration for your future events!
On the water
Make your event a sailing success! After all guests have boarded at the starting location, they will be welcomed with a welcome drink and the programme can begin. Anything is possible on board, from gala dinners and presentations to performances by well-known artists. The ships are equipped with all luxuries and conveniences, so you certainly don't have to compromise on these. Looking for inspiration for possible ships that lend themselves as suitable event locations in the Netherlands? Then think, for example, of the Oceandiva, the Blue Rhapsody or the Grace Kelly.
Tip: would you prefer not to have an actual sailing ship, but the same feeling? Then consider the SS Rotterdam. A special location with a telling history!
The Royals
Surprise your guests and invite them to an event in a stylish castle full of character and class. More than any other building, a castle will whisk guests away to a fairytale setting, making them feel as though they've stepped back in time. Combine a castle venue with, for example, a luxurious gala dinner or a fitting theme such as the Middle Ages, to spend the day in complete style. Does a castle venue appeal to you and could it be suitable for your next event?

At high altitude!
Literally and figuratively coming together at a great height! This is possible at various locations across the Netherlands. Not only the event itself but also the beautiful views that guests can enjoy during the gathering make this day unforgettable.
- From the 42nde deep dive, looking out over the city of The Hague;
- Admire Rotterdam's iconic buildings from a height of 100 metres.;
- Enjoying the view over ’t IJ and Amsterdam North from a glass greenhouse.
In short, many possibilities, each with its own charm and facilities. For more inspiration on possibilities for an event at height, take a look at the following locations: The Penthouse, of the Euromast and the Glasshouse.
Luxury beach paradise
A relaxed vibe, a dazzling white beach, a trendy restaurant and dozens of luxury villas on a private island… this sounds like a delightful location abroad, right? But nothing could be further from the truth! This luxury island resort ‘Oesterdam’It is beautifully situated on the longest dam of the Delta Works: centrally located between South Holland, Brabant, Zeeland, and Belgium. The entire venue can accommodate around 900 people, excluding the beach cabanas and both terraces with outdoor bars. In addition to meetings & events in a stylish setting, the enormous outdoor area of 5000m2 is also ideal for active (team-building) activities on land and water. Think of buggy riding, paintball, or RIB boating.
TipOpt for a multi-day meeting or event and let your guests stay overnight at the luxury resort! The luxury of everything in one location!

Sustainability is the trend of the moment, and at goMICE, we're happy to play our part in this. We enjoy working with venues that are progressive in their approach to sustainability. There are a number of venues in the Netherlands that are entirely sustainable and project that image too. They achieve this by, for example, collaborating with local suppliers who provide sustainable goods, using only green energy, installing solar panels, and working with natural packaging. If you'd also like to contribute to a more sustainable future, take a look at one of the following venues; Spant!, Johan Cruijff ArenA, and Circl.
