Loosdrecht is a town of around 9,000 residents, known for its five interconnected lakes called the Loosdrechtse Plassen. The area consists mostly of charming and luxurious lakeside villas, often associated as a summer destination of the affluent, with several sailing and yacht clubs along the shores. People visit Vecht, a river with vintage Dutch architecture near its shores, and the Vuntus for its quiet placid waters. Two towns are located here, Nieuw-Loosdrecht and Oud-Loosdrecht, which both have their new and old-world charms. Visitors often flock here during summer to go sailing, swimming, paddle boarding, boating, canoeing, and cycling. What makes this peaceful town even more alluring is its proximity to Amsterdam only about a half-hour drive away. If you’re ready for a vacation by the water, check out these top Airbnb rentals in Loosdrechtse Plassen, the Netherlands.
