Family holiday on the Belgian coast: space, comfort and freedom

A family holiday on the Belgian coast is a classic for a reason. The beaches are wide and safe, the water is shallow over a long distance, there are cycle paths for all ages, and attractions like Plopsaland are an hour's drive away. At DLVX Rentals you offer your family more than a hotel room: your own apartment with kitchen, two bedrooms and space for 4 to 6 people. That means more space, breakfast at your own pace, and significantly cheaper than a hotel with restaurant.

Safe beaches for children

The beaches of Ostend are wide, the sand is fine, and the water stays shallow over tens of metres. During high season (July-August) there are rescue services on multiple beach posts. The beach is cleaned every morning and is smoke-free in family zones. For the smallest there are beach cabins to rent, and the Zeedijk is fully car-free so children can walk or cycle safely.

Plopsaland and other day trips

Plopsaland in De Panne is 30 minutes drive from Ostend. It is the largest theme park in Belgium, focused on children aged 3 to 12, with characters like Maya the Bee, K3 and Wickie. A day at Plopsaland costs around 45 euros per person. Other kid-friendly trips: Sea Life Blankenberge (15 minutes by Kusttram), Bellewaerde park in Ypres (45 minutes drive), the Westhoek dunes for walks.

An apartment with kitchen: budget and flexibility

The biggest advantage of a holiday apartment over a hotel is the kitchen. With children you do not want to sit in a restaurant three times a day. Your own kitchen means: breakfast at your own pace, picnic for the beach, simple pasta after a long day instead of an expensive restaurant bill. The Carrefour and Delhaize are 5 minutes walk away. Both apartments have fully equipped kitchens. A family of 4 typically saves 80 to 120 euros per day versus hotel plus restaurant.
