Complete Guide to Efteling Bosrijk
Efteling Bosrijk is Efteling's newest and most luxurious holiday park. Opened in 2009, the park offers a unique combination of nature, comfort and Efteling magic. The detached holiday homes are spread across a wooded site, giving a sense of privacy and exclusivity that you won't find at the other Efteling accommodations.
The Architecture and Atmosphere
The homes in Bosrijk are designed with respect for the natural environment. They have a modern look but fit perfectly into the forest landscape. Large windows let in lots of natural light and offer views of the greenery. The interior combines contemporary comfort with subtle Efteling elements.
Activities Outside the Park
Although Efteling is the main attraction, Bosrijk itself also offers plenty to do. There are several playgrounds for children, walking trails through the woods, and opportunities to hire bikes or wagons. In the evening you can enjoy the peace, barbecue on your own terrace (barbecue for hire at reception) or relax in your sauna if you have one.
Shopping and Meals
The Bosrijk reception has a small shop with basic products, bread and breakfast items. For larger shopping there is a supermarket a few kilometres away (car recommended). Alternatively, you can opt for the breakfast package delivered to your door, or dine at the park restaurant.
Comparison with Other Efteling Accommodations
Bosrijk distinguishes itself from the Efteling hotels and Loonsche Land by its focus on privacy and independence. Where hotels are fully catered and Loonsche Land offers a mix, Bosrijk is ideal for those who prefer to set their own rhythm. You have your own home, can cook yourself, and are still in the park within minutes.
Best Time to Book
Bosrijk is popular all year round, but the busiest periods are school holidays and weekends. For the best availability and prices, book well in advance, especially for the larger homes which fill up quickly. The off-peak season (outside school holidays) often offers attractive rates.

- Bring your own bath towels (or hire at reception)
