The Best Resorts in Belgium

Sections

Tap another section to add it. All sections

The best resorts in Belgium, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. La Réserve Knokke-Heist comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Knokke-Heist and Liège.

  1. The Art Deco bar, all red velvet and crystal sconces, makes a case for why Knokke-Heist once drew the Frank Sinatra and Brigitte Bardot crowd. This hotel reopened a few years ago after Belgian architect Glenn Sestig reworked it: eucalyptus paneling, onyx marble, and a quiet-luxury ethos in rooms with king beds and deep soaking tubs. Upper suites look out over the North Sea, which is a reasonable trade for the Belgian coast.

  2. A stately renovated farmhouse on a verdant plateau between the Mehaigne and Meuse valleys, Domaine de Naxhelet is a golf resort that wears its agricultural bones well, exposed beams and parquet flooring intact beneath the updates. Thirty holes designed by Martin Hawtree anchor the property, with a spa, hammam, and hot-spring baths for anyone who pulls a shoulder on the back nine. Wallonia gets overlooked, which the 33 rooms and suites here are quietly counting on.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
