Flanders, well suited to a group trip
With its flat polders and dense network of canals, Flanders is built for group outings: you cycle without hills, hop from village to village, and can easily reach Bruges, Ghent or Antwerp for a night out. Unique stays designed specifically for groups are fewer than in Wallonia, but the ones you'll find lean on long dinner tables, double treehouses or rural cottages with several bedrooms under one roof, often out in the countryside, close to a canal or a farm.
What a stay together looks like
A typical friends' weekend in Flanders mixes long barbecue dinners with cycling along the water and board game nights by the wood stove. The region is also a playground for beer lovers, with breweries and bars in Ghent or Antwerp rounding off a day outdoors. Many stays add an outdoor hot tub or a large terrace, perfect for winding down the evening together outside without ever leaving the property.
Questions fréquentes
What kinds of unique stays welcome groups of friends in Flanders?
Mostly rural cottages with several bedrooms, a few large wooden treehouses, and estates combining two or three stays on the same property. Options built specifically for groups remain rarer than in Wallonia, so it's worth booking early.
How many people can stay together in these places?
Capacity usually runs from 6 to 12 guests, with shared or private bedrooms. For a bigger group, it's best to book a whole estate or check whether neighbouring stays can be rented together.
What can friends do around a unique stay in Flanders?
Cycling along the canals, brewery visits and day trips into Bruges, Ghent or Antwerp are the classics. Come evening, the hot tub, a campfire and board games take over right on site.
