About Strandhotel Seeduyn

Strandhotel Seeduyn on Vlieland is located in a truly unique spot! Nowhere else in the Netherlands will you find a hotel this free and close to the sea: right on the first row of dunes, overlooking the North Sea and its wide beaches. Strandhotel Seeduyn features 151 rooms with views of either the dunes or the North Sea, all with a balcony or terrace, including 34 spacious apartments suitable for families.

Within the hotel, you’ll find restaurant De Brassery, and right next door Strandpaviljoen ’t Badhuys.
At De Brassery, you can enjoy a fine glass of wine, delicious seasonal dishes, and a fantastic location. Dining here means enjoying your meal right on the first dune row of the North Sea beach on Vlieland. At Strandpaviljoen ’t Badhuys, guests can enjoy great food, a lively atmosphere, and a warm ambiance. It’s the perfect spot for breakfast, lunch, drinks, or dinner—open every day.

Working on Vlieland

Your internship will take place at Strandhotel Seeduyn on Vlieland. Vlieland is a popular tourist island with beautiful beaches. Staff housing is located right below the hotel, which makes things very convenient. In addition, the staff canteen is also inside the hotel, where you can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Besides working at Strandhotel Seeduyn, we are also looking for someone who fits our team spirit—someone who enjoys relaxing on a terrace with us, meeting new people, and spending free time at the beach. Because at WestCord, we are not just colleagues, we are one big family.

As an intern, you’ll gain valuable experience and develop your skills further. We highly value training and supporting students. If both sides are satisfied, we’ll also discuss opportunities to continue working with us after your internship.
