Mon – Fri Stays May Half Term 2026

May half term is usually a brilliant time to book a stay at one of our featured parks as Dutch and Belgian schools don’t have May half term and so it tends to be one of the cheapest times to book. However in 2026 there is a public holiday on 25^th May (Whit Monday) in both the Netherlands and Belgium which means Monday 25th isn’t a check in/out day on the majority of our featured parks and the usual Monday to Friday half term stay is affected in quite a lot of places.

Do any parks have a Monday to Friday stay available?

Yes, it is possible to book a Monday to Friday stay on some parks. These include Beekse Bergen, (safari hotel), the Efteling resorts (Bosrijk, Loonsche Land and the Efteling Hotel), Family Resort Molenwaard and Eurocamp accommodation (Duinrell, Beekse Bergen, TerSpegelt, Twee Bruggen, Domein de Schatberg, Marvilla parks Kaatsheuvel, Koningshof and Roompot Beach Resort). A weekend to weekend stay is also possible on all of these.

Which durations are possible on the other parks?

At Duinrell, the Landal Parks and Hof van Saksen, Sunparks, Roompot and FarmCamps the following durations are possible over May half term 2026:

Arrival Friday 22nd until Tuesday 26th

Arrival Friday 22nd until Friday 29th

Arrival Tuesday 26th until Friday 29th

Arrival Tuesday until Monday 1st June

Even though the bookable stays are as above there is nothing to stop you arriving a day late, for example booking a Friday to Friday stay and arriving whenever you wanted on the Saturday.

Can I combine stays to get a full Monday to Friday?

Yes, if you want to stay at one of the above parks where Monday to Friday isn’t possible you could always look at combining a couple of places, for example Monday to Wednesday at a Eurocamp park and Wednesday to Friday (or Sat/Sun) at one of the Efteling resorts. The Safari Hotel at Beekse Bergen also has arrivals/departures nearly every day.

We also feature a range of private rentals (including a villa with a pool and a windmill near Beekse Bergen!) which have flexible check in /check out days over May half term 2026.

Or you could stay for a night or 2 in one of the Stayokay family friendly hostels. These are dotted across the Netherlands including in some of the major cities. The Holiday Suites apartments on the Belgian coast also have any day arrivals and durations.

My Whit holiday dates are different

For those with a 2 week Whit break you can get some good deals arriving on Monday 1st June for 4 nights (eg €384 at Landal Het Vennenbos or €395 at Landal Rabbit Hill) or on Monday 18^th May for 4 nights.

Are there any other cheaper times to book?

Yes, there are quite a few periods where our school holidays don’t overlap with the Dutch and Belgian ones. For example the last week of August is typically a good time to book as the Dutch schools start to go back from the 3rd week of August and it also includes our August bank holiday weekend. Also the Dutch and Belgian schools only get the long weekend for Easter so travelling during our Easter holidays is often a good shout too, and around mid April can be a great time to see the tulips.
