Free Guests (House Retreat)
Personal and Tailor-made
Land to your rhythm
During your stay as a Free Guest (previously called House Retreat) you will enjoy ‘freedom within the framework’; you live according to the rhythm of Land aan Zee and during the free blocks you do what is good for you. The facilities are beautiful and the possibilities are endless.
Meals are served at fixed times and are delicious vegan or vegetarian. Everyone lends a hand with clearing the dishes, washing dishes and wiping the rooms clean. There are many opportunities to connect with other guests through work and pleasure.
After your stay, you can clean your room yourself and you can leave a personal reflection, drawing or wish for the next guest if you wish. Together we take care of ourselves, others and our place in everything we do.
The core team of Land aan Zee is happy to offer at least two sporting or meditative activities per day. If you would also like a massage, a coaching session or other guidance, please let us know.

- We start the day with a morning activity (silent walk, a guided meditation, a yoga session). Our daily activities are nourishing for body and mind. For example, we encourage you recommend taking a dip in the swimming pond.
- After breakfast, we take care of the place together in a pleasant way with an hour of ‘karma yoga’ (mindful collaboration): washing the dishes, sweeping the rooms clean, putting a flower in the vase, weeding some weeds.
- During your free moments you can retreat to our quiet library, walk, cycle or use the sauna on specific days. You choose to do this alone or with others.
Tailored to your needs
If you need some personal support, it is possible to book one or more private sessions. It may involve a massage, constellation work or coaching, emotional body work, reiki, breathing sessions, nutritional advice, etc. We have some of the expertise in-house, but we can also reach the many people in our network. Please apply in time! These sessions are not included in the price.
Curious about what our guests think?
What wonderful guests we have! Reading their reviews brings us so much joy. Happy reading!
The silence, the peace, returning to being, the simplicity, the rhythm, the small group, the combination of qigong/mindfulness, the people who participated and the people who made this possible. The reception was very welcoming. The meals are simply fantastic. just like the entire center actually. What a lovely warm beautiful place.

It is really a very nice place where you are well pampered. Whether you participate in a program or not, I will definitely come back.

The location, the peace, being offline, the absence of cell phones in the common areas, the delicious food, the sauna, the fireplace, the attention with which the place is decorated, the good beds, the massage that you can book, the qigong, the daily structure, the simplicity, the choice you get to connect with other participants, not or a little, the fresh tea, the coffee, the fireplace, nature, the sea nearby, the feeling that you are welcome, that you are not alone, the daily circle in which it is discussed how the day can/may proceed, the involvement of the employees and volunteers.

I really enjoyed being with you. The building is beautiful, all the rooms are equally beautiful and attractive. I got so much in just 3 days, it felt like I was there for a week… The food was also so delicious: wow! Totally my thing. The yoga lessons were also great and everything else: the walk, the dance… everything is of the same high quality and I appreciate that very much.
