A GREEN FUTURE FOR HOSPITALITY
Van der Valk has been working on shaping the future of hospitality for four generations. In doing so, sustainability has become an important core value for us. Our belief goes beyond building short-term success, we also invest in a sustainable future. We believe it is very important to keep the world livable for current and future generations. Therefore, we have several sustainable solutions in the hotel. Wondering how we do this? Then read more about our sustainable initiatives:
Our sustainable initiatives
At Van der Valk Palace Hotel Noordwijk, we are working hard to reduce our ecological footprint without reducing our hospitality. This is because we believe that hospitality and sustainable business can go together seamlessly and that small efforts can make a big difference. Read more about our sustainable initiatives below:

Green Stay
At Van der Valk Palace Hotel Noordwijk, we offer our guests the opportunity to 'choose green'. We encourage guests staying longer than one night to skip the in-between room cleaning in order to save water and energy. When guests choose this option, we plant a tree in our forest (Valkenbos).

Green Key
Partly due to the implementation of our sustainable initiatives, Van der Valk Palace Hotel Noordwijk has proudly received the Green Key Gold certificate! Green Key is the international hallmark for sustainable companies in the leisure and business market. This certificate stands for the importance we attach to sustainability and shows that we are just one step more conscious of nature and the environment than normal laws and regulations require.

Bees
Our hotel has very special guests on the roof, namely: the honeybees. Thanks to our beekeeper, we can in fact enjoy our own delicious Palace honey. Our Palace honey is also used in various dishes on the menu.

Electric charging stations
Another important aspect of sustainability at Van der Valk Palace Hotel Noordwijk is encouraging environmentally friendly transportation. Our hotel offers several charging points for electric cars. By doing so, the hotel encourages guests and employees to opt for more sustainable transportation.

Proeftuin Noordwijk & Euro-Toques
At Restaurant Vloed, we believe in the power of local ingredients. This is why our kitchen team uses as many local ingredients as possible when preparing our dishes. As a result, by buying local products we also support the local economy and are less harmful to the environment. Fair, sustainable and local! Restaurant Vloed is therefore also part of Proeftuin Noordwijk and the restaurant is proud to carry the Euro-Toques logo.

The Valkenbos
For over 50 years, the Van der Valk family has owned a forest spanning an impressive 45 hectares: the Valkenbos. The forest is predominantly made up of coniferous and deciduous trees and is freely accessible to the public. In the future, walking and cycling paths will be created, allowing visitors to explore and enjoy this beautiful piece of nature even more.
With this initiative, we aim for a greener future where sustainability and hospitality go hand in hand.
