Supboard rental
SUP has grown into a real hype in recent years. And we understand why. In addition to the great view from the water, it is also a good work-out. You can rent a supboard from us and get out on the water. Have you never paddled before? No worries! The boards are long and wide and therefore very stable. We will give you a short instruction on departure, that will be all right!
The costs are €10 per supboard per hour.
Relax in a wood-fired hot tub
The wood-fired hot tub is originally a Scandinavian product. Inspired by the natural hot springs in Scandinavia, the idea of a warm wooden bath was born.
Several of these hot tubs are spread across the site at De Parel. You heat them up to the temperature you want. Then lower yourself into the warm water and enjoy the tranquility and the beautiful surroundings.
