The nearest car parks are those under the Kurhaus and on the Nieuwe Parklaan, which together offer over 1,500 spaces. From both, it’s only a few minutes’ walk to the pavilion. On summer days, they fill up, so if you’re coming on a nice Saturday, tram 1 or 9 from The Hague Central (Kurhaus stop, about 25 minutes) is the faster option.

Are you also open on public holidays?

Yes, we are open 365 days a year, including public holidays. Around Christmas and New Year, we operate with adjusted hours and a special menu. We announce these in advance, and in December, we recommend booking well in advance.

Why Blue Lagoon

Blue Lagoon started in the summer of 1985 as a simple beach pavilion. In April 2018, the pavilion was completely destroyed by fire, but one day later we were already operating from a temporary location. After rebuilding, we reopened in 2019, bigger and better than ever.

You can taste the resilience in everything we do.

The pavilion, atmosphere and setting

What has remained? The casual atmosphere, the sea view, and the feeling that you don't have to rush. What has changed? A larger dining room, a better kitchen, and more terrace space.

On a weekday afternoon, you're sitting here peacefully with a laptop and coffee, and on a summer evening, the pavilion seamlessly transitions from drinks to dinner.
