Site Inspection Spotlight: Beachclub Bloomingdale

Last night, our Managing Director, Daan Riemeijer, visited the stunning Bloomingdale Beachclub for an exciting project in 2026.

With the North Sea as your backdrop, this beachside venue offers a unique blend of tranquility and energy, perfect for offsite meetings, corporate events, and incentive experiences. Just 45 minutes from central Amsterdam (and even closer from hotels around Schiphol and the southern/western parts of the city) and having reopened the 1st of June, it’s a hidden gem that combines accessibility with an unique atmosphere.

☀️ Sure, good weather helps, the pictures from last night can attest to that—but the real magic lies in the versatility of the spaces, the professional hospitality, and the inspiring coastal setting. And here’s the best part: It's is open year-round, making it a fantastic option for both summer celebrations and cozy winter gatherings.

🍸 Last weekend, we organized a memorable incentive trip in Amsterdam, packed with culinary highlights. Guests enjoyed exclusive tastings at hidden gems in the Jordaan district, a hands-on bitterballen workshop paired with a local beer tasting, and a scenic dinner cruise through the city’s iconic canals. The trip was rounded off with a series of high-end dinners, offering the perfect blend of local flavor and refined cuisine in inspiring settings. 🥂

Sometimes a venue just clicks. ✨

Last Friday, we experienced one of those unforgettable evenings at De Vergulden Eenhoorn.

When we first visited the location back in December, it was grey, wet, and cold—but even then, we knew: in Summer, this place is magic.

And we weren’t wrong. The weather gods delivered, and so did the setting. ☀️ A long table, 30 guests, warm evening sun, and a relaxed al fresco dinner that felt like a hidden garden escape in the middle of the city.

When it comes to planning unforgettable events and incentives, local expertise makes all the difference. That’s where a Destination Management Company (DMC) truly shines.

Our project managers don’t just know Amsterdam – they live and breathe it. Sure, everyone’s heard of the canals, but we know the hidden gems, the up-and-coming neighborhoods, and the venues that locals keep to themselves.

Read our new blog and discover why working with a local partner give your events and incentives a real edge.

About last night…

Last night, we had the pleasure of welcoming over 200 guests for a truly memorable Amsterdam experience. Crafted with care, precision, and local know-how.

✨ Starting in The Hague, we arranged smooth coach transfers to the vibrant Leidseplein entertainment district, a strategic choice for accessibility and atmosphere.

🛥️ From there, guests boarded a 1.5-hour drinks cruise gliding through Amsterdam’s iconic canals with a glass in hand and the city’s charm all around.

🍽️ After docking, the group strolled to the legendary Café Americain, exclusively reserved for a delicious 3-course dinner.

🌃 The night wrapped up with free time to explore the city’s nightlife, while our team ensured timely return shuttles back to The Hague.

This is what we do best: seamless logistics, curated experiences, and trusted local partnerships, all tailored to your group’s needs.

📍Why work with a DMC? Because destination knowledge isn’t just helpful, it's essential.

Earlier this week, our team had an inspiring talent session led by the amazing Romy Schagen from Talentize. We dove deep into exploring our strengths and talents, discovering new ways each team member can contribute to PT's success. The beautifully renovated NH Museum Quarter, now part of Avani Hotels and Resorts, served as the perfect venue. With 163 refurbished rooms in a prime location for both business and leisure, it’s an ideal setting for your next event in The Netherlands. A big thank you to the team at Minor hotels for hosting us.
