A weekend away with the girls
Sometimes a weekend away with friends is just what you need. Unwind together and catch up in a green setting. Flora Batava is situated on the River Vecht: a place where nature, comfort and hospitality come together for a relaxing stay.
From boating on the River Vecht to walking in the countryside and enjoying high tea or dinner: at Flora Batava, you can enjoy a relaxing weekend together, with good food, beautiful surroundings and plenty of time for each other.
Boating on the Vecht
One of the most beautiful ways to experience the Vecht region is from the water. With Flora Batava’s boat hire, you and your friends can step aboard for a trip past country estates, villages, green spaces and the characteristic landscape of the Vecht. A trip on the Vecht brings peace and quiet, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings together and catch up undisturbed. Flora Batava rents out a variety of sloops that are easy to steer and require no sailing licence.
Boating is ideal for a girls’ weekend: sociable, peaceful and a fun way to discover the Vecht. That is precisely why a boat trip is the perfect choice for a weekend away with friends.
Cycle tour on our electric bikes
The surrounding area can also be explored in a relaxed way by bike. Flora Batava rents out electric bikes, allowing you to cycle effortlessly through the Vecht region. This makes it easy to get out and about together, without the weekend feeling rushed or physically demanding. As you cycle, you’ll experience the charm of the surroundings, with views of the water, plenty of greenery and the villages along the Vecht.
A bike ride with friends fits in perfectly with a stay where peace and togetherness take centre stage. You’re outdoors, getting some gentle exercise, and can stop wherever you like along the way. This makes an afternoon on an electric bike a natural part of a relaxing weekend on the Vecht.
Walking in green surroundings
For those who enjoy walking, there is a lovely starting point right opposite Flora Batava. On the other side of the hotel lies Over-Holland, a green nature reserve with paths winding through meadows, alongside water and through woodland. A lovely spot for a peaceful morning stroll or a relaxing walk later in the day.
Those wishing to walk further will also find routes in the area such as the 6-kilometre Nieuwersluis walking route, the Waterlinieommetje and the paths around Fort Nieuwersluis.
Walking is the perfect activity for a weekend away with friends: it gives you space to catch up, relax and experience the surroundings in peace and quiet.
High tea at Restaurant Bloei
After a morning spent outdoors, it’s lovely to sit down together and take the time for lunch or high tea. A high tea at Flora Batava fits in perfectly with this. At Restaurant Bloei, located in the historic villa, you can enjoy a high tea in a charming setting, ideal for catching up over a leisurely meal.
For a weekend away with friends, high tea is a lovely way to sit together in peace and quiet. This makes it not just a meal, but also a sociable activity during your stay.
Dinner at Flora Batava
You preferably end a day together in the same relaxed way it began. You can also enjoy dinner at Restaurant Bloei, located in the historic villa. This makes it easy to enjoy different moments together in one place during your stay, in a stylish setting.
This is especially valuable for a calm girls’ weekend. You don’t have to go anywhere, but can let the evening flow into a good conversation at the table in complete peace. After a day of boating, cycling, or hiking, a dinner at Flora Batava is a natural conclusion, in an environment where everything revolves around attention, atmosphere, and relaxed enjoyment.
A weekend in complete peace
A weekend away with friends does not need to be fully scheduled to be special. Precisely walking together, boating, cycling, and enjoying long meals in a peaceful setting make it valuable. At Flora Batava, this comes together at a historic estate on the Vecht, surrounded by greenery.
Thus, a weekend here is about time for each other, enjoying the surroundings, and truly relaxing.
