Imagine a place where coastal breezes mingle with refined luxury, where historic glamour meets contemporary design, and where every detail from breakfast in bed to a spa day and a lake-side sunset is crafter for indulgence. That’s the experience awaiting guests at La Reserve Resort, perched in the upscale Belgian seaside town of Knokke-Heist. This is why it deserves a spot on your travel bucket list.
La Reserve has long held a place among Belgium’s most iconic hotels. In its heyday, it drew luminaries and artists, the likes of international stars, famous creative minds, and high-society visitors seeking a refined coastal escape.
In 2023, the hotel underwent a complete renovation under the direction of celebrated Belgian architect Glenn Sestig. The redesign blends modern minimalism with Art Deco elegance – marble, wood, brass and open, airy spaces – breathing new life into its classic heritage.
The result? A hotel that honours its glamorous legacy while offering all the comforts and stylish touches of a modern luxury resort.
Whether you’re travelling for a quiet solo escape, a romantic weekend, or a getaway with the family and friends, La Reserve welcomes guests with a range of rooms and suites that feel both indulgent and effortlessly serene. The Patio Rooms offer a cosy hideaway, their windows opening onto a tranquil inner courtyard that immediately sets a calm, unhurried tone. If you prefer a touch more sparkle, the Casino View Rooms invite you onto your own private terrace, where the lights of the Grand Casino lend an atmospheric charm to evenings on the coast.
For those seeking a blend of space and refinement, the Junior Suites open up to sweeping views over the shimmering Silver Lake, complete with generous terraces perfect for lingering with a morning coffee. The experience grows even more elevated in the Executive Suites, where elegant interiors frame breathtaking panoramas of the North Sea — the kind of view that makes waking up feel like a privilege. Families and groups will appreciate the thoughtfully designed Family Suites, offering two spacious rooms that allow everyone to settle in comfortably without compromising on style. And for travellers in search of the pinnacle of luxury, the Presidential Suite and Royal Penthouse unfold like private sanctuaries in the sky, with expansive layouts, exquisite detailing, and sweeping horizons that redefine what a coastal stay can be. No matter which space you choose, every room at La Réserve promises plush bedding, refined materials, and an atmosphere where coastal charm meets sophisticated ease.
At the heart of the hotel’s dining experience is the restaurant La Rigue. Its timeless Belgian‑French cuisine, refined plating, and seaside-inspired ambience make it stand out not just for hotel guests, but as a destination in itself.
Beyond meals, La Réserve regularly hosts dynamic events — from festive brunches and winter‑season offerings to curated dinners. These events add a lively, cultural layer to the stay, making the hotel feel like both a retreat and a lively social hub.
And for those keen on indulgence beyond food — the hotel also houses a boutique, where you can browse fragrances and elegant gifts.
If you’re after pampering, La Réserve doesn’t disappoint. The spa and wellness area — fully renovated and reopened in 2024 — offers a heated indoor pool, sauna, hammam, and various beauty and wellness treatments. It’s the perfect antidote to city stress or a busy travel itinerary.
Whether you’re dipping in the pool, unwinding in the sauna or indulging in treatments, the vibe here is one of calm, understated luxury. And guests get full access, which makes it a big draw for anyone looking to relax and recharge.
Located in Knokke‑Heist, La Réserve balances easy access to the North Sea and coastal charm with proximity to high‑end shopping, local dining, and nature.
You’re a few steps from the beach — perfect for a morning stroll or seaside sunset — and also near lakes, the town’s elegant casino (visible from some rooms), and lush surroundings. It offers both a beach‑town break and a refined escape, all in one.
Whether you want a serene winter weekend (they even have a “Scandinavian Winter Night” package), a chic summer escape, or just a break from everyday life — La Réserve invites you to “escape and indulge.”
