When it comes to images of spring color, tulips and the Netherlands are inseparable. Travelers visiting this region in the coming weeks can still book a stay in Amsterdam at Anantara Krasnapolsky, where bloom-focused itineraries have been developed in collaboration with the hotel and Tulip Experience Amsterdam.

Tulip Experience Amsterdam was founded in 1951 by Wim Pennings. The company emphasises sustainability: it has phased out single-use plastics and encourages visitors to cycle to the estate when possible. As a third-generation family business, it cultivates around 450 tulip varieties in its nursery, all grown to meet the Planet Proof quality standard endorsed by Greenpeace.
Private tours begin with luxury limousine transfers from the hotel’s address in Amsterdam’s historic centre to the Tulip Experience Amsterdam estate, which sits among broad expanses of tulip fields. The estate includes an exhibition garden showcasing rare varieties, a working flower nursery and a farmers market offering fresh produce and locally made souvenirs. Visitors can also explore a small museum with a private cinema that tells the tulip’s story, tracing its origins back to the Ottoman era and charting how the flower became a Dutch cultural icon.

Across the estate more than one million plants representing roughly 700 varieties can be in bloom during peak season, creating a vivid tapestry of color. Private tours let guests wander the gardens at their own pace and soak in the multihued displays. For a more indulgent experience, Anantara’s chefs can prepare a private Champagne lunch, served in the garden by an Anantara butler.
The programme offers a range of options to suit different preferences and group sizes, including private, semi-private and group itineraries. Whether you seek a quiet, personalised garden visit or a lively shared tour, the combination of luxury hospitality and vibrant tulip landscapes provides a memorable springtime experience in the Netherlands.
