The province of Zeeland meaning in English Sealand is located in the Southern part of the Netherlands, it consists of several islands and peninsulas and it's stunning! Here you'll find beautiful wide beaches, dunes, the sunshine (expect the most sun-hours in the whole of the Netherlands), scenic surroundings, and awesome vibes! It's perfect for a short getaway to soak up those summer rays, have a change of pace, and just chill.

Middelburg is the capital of the province, it is a cozy and pretty town to explore. In this province, you won't find big cities. Old town centers here are filled with character and history set in picturastic surroundings, and let's not forget those gorgeous beaches on the shore of the North sea.
