WORKATION 
ABROAD

That works well.

BuitenLand is the perfect destination for digital nomads and workations! Combine your work with relaxation and fun in an inspiring place.

During the week, we organise various activities to start or end your day, such as yoga, energisers, mindful walks and a meal at our communal dining table. Enjoy a good cup of coffee in the BuitenBar and surrender to a natural rhythm of effort and relaxation. 

jouw werkplek in de natuur

Je laptop gaat mee. De rest even niet. 

Soms werk je gewoon beter als je even weg bent. Niet op kantoor, niet thuis maar op een plek waar je hoofd tot rust komt. BuitenLand is de bestemming voor wie wil werken én opladen tegelijk.

Bij BuitenLand werk je met je voeten in het gras en je hoofd vol frisse ideeën. Neem een duik in het meer, warm op in de sauna of ontspan in de PRET-hottub in een oude Volkswagen Kever.

Working in nature

At BuitenLand, you work with your feet in the grass and your head full of fresh ideas. Our accommodations are comfortable and atmospheric, with enough space to relax among the trees. In between, you can take a walk, dive into the lake, or warm up in the sauna or the PRET hot tub in an old Volkswagen Beetle.

Wi-Fi? Of course. But we recommend going offline every now and then.

Staying overnight

From a pop-up tent to a cottage with a sauna. We have all the accommodation you need for a few unforgettable days for yourself or with your team. If you stay during the week and outside the holiday periods, we are happy to be flexible with check-in and check-out days. Please contact us for the possibilities.

Discover how work and holidays can go together perfectly. Book your stay and experience the ultimate work-meets-holiday feeling!

Activities for teams

In addition to work, there is plenty of room for relaxation and adventure. Go for a run through the woods, take a refreshing dip in the swimming lake, or go for a walk criss-crossing the forest off the beaten track. The combination of work and relaxation stimulates new ideas and a pleasant workflow.

We offer a tailor-made programme with activities that connect, challenge and, above all, are great fun. Think of:

  • A yoga session in the morning sun
  • Coaching with horses for greater insight and cooperation
  • A hobby horse race for adults (yes, really!)
  • Wild foraging walk or outdoor cooking
  • Working together to build a work of art that we ritually set on fire at the end of the day

In addition, you can of course join our regular programme — from Easter to the autumn holidays, there is plenty to do. Check the calendar for the current offerings.

Prefer to do something outside the grounds? We know the most beautiful places in the area for a walk, a tasting or a creative workshop at one of our neighbours. Feel free to contact us at mare@buitenland.com, and we will put together a tailor-made workation programme for you.

Ice training

Ice training

Experience the power of breathing, mind control, cold and heat.

Let an experienced guide lead you as you embark on the challenging but unique experience of an ice bath. Discover the power of water and strengthen your body and mind in the heart of Drenthe's natural surroundings.

The method is becoming increasingly widespread in society. In winter, we are seeing more and more people swimming in outdoor waters, including here in the swimming lake at BuitenLand. Medical and scientific studies have shown that the Wim Hof method has a significant impact on strengthening overall health and improving a number of specific health complaints.

During the training, we will work on:

  • Breathing techniques
  • Brain control, influencing physiological processes
  • Cold training/ice bath
  • Generating heat in a natural way

Sweat lodge

Sweat lodge

(On request)
Enjoy a profound experience in our authentic sweat lodge, surrounded by the forest next to BuitenLand. Let the warm glow of the stones cleanse you while inspiring your body and mind. The sweat lodge is an ancient ritual for inner cleansing and renewal. From the darkness and silence, you will come into contact with your own wisdom and experience a deep unity with the earth and the power of nature.

How does it work?
During a sweat lodge session, you sit together with about 8-12 people in a low hut made of willow branches and covered with woollen blankets. After the stones have been heated long enough until they glow red, they are brought inside in four rounds.

When the door closes, the ceremony leader will pour water over the stones and take you on a journey through ancient traditions and rituals, based on silence, sharing and conscious breathing. You may go outside between rounds.

We offer the sweat lodge on request for groups. For more information, prices and reservations, please email: podium@buitenland.com

Breath session

Breath session

A Conscious Connected Breathing Session takes you deep inside yourself and shines light on what needs to be seen. A breathing session is enlightening, revitalising, detoxifying and helps you get to know yourself better. What is sometimes difficult to achieve in conversation is often possible with this breathing technique. Conscious connected breathing is a great way to quickly and purposefully get in touch with your feelings, experience them fully and let them go. You can free yourself from fears, obstacles, negative beliefs and memories from the past. This creates space in your head and deepens your friendship with yourself.

Practical information
The session lasts 2 to 2½ hours, during which you will breathe connectedly to music for about an hour while lying comfortably on a soft mattress with a pillow and blanket. You will be guided by experienced breathing coaches who will ensure that you feel supported and cared for. The breathing coaches are trained at the Breath and Awareness Academy.

Book your session here or email esther@buitenland.com for more information.
