Where breakfast meets the dunes: the Restaurant Gestrand setting

Part of the magic at Camping de Lakens is location: you sleep in the dunes and the sea is just one dune away—about 100 steps. Restaurant Gestrand sits right in this landscape, with a bright, open feel and a terrace overlooking a large playground. That means adults can ease into the morning while keeping an eye on little ones as they play.

• The outdoor playground next to Gestrand features a high slide, zipline, swings, and water-and-sand play elements.
• Beneath the restaurant you’ll find the Zep Zone, a cool indoor play area and activity space that comes to life during the camping season.
• Gestrand is known for its approachable, contemporary menu throughout the day and a good coffee—the perfect pairing for your breakfast wind-down.

The result is a relaxed, family-friendly setting that turns breakfast into a moment, not a task.

Booking your breakfast: three easy ways

You can add the breakfast buffet to your stay in whichever way is most convenient:

1. Online booking: Select the breakfast option while you complete your reservation.
2. Camping de Lakens App: Add breakfast in the app for a quick, on-the-go update to your booking.
3. Reception: Prefer a personal touch? Arrange breakfast directly with the reception team during your stay.

Tip: If you’ve booked one of the hotel-style or compact units—Seashack, Seashack DeLuxe, or Backpackshack Lanikai/Bora Bora—breakfast is already included. That simplifies your morning even further.

Make the most of your morning

A great breakfast is as much about timing and flow as it is about food. Here are practical ways to shape a smooth start.

1) Choose your pace within the 08:30–11:00 window

• Early risers: Be among the first to settle in at 08:30, then head straight into your day’s plans.
• Slow starters: Drift in later in the morning, sip a coffee, and enjoy the duneside atmosphere before you get moving.

2) Pair breakfast with a short beach ritual

With the beach just a dune away (about 100 steps), consider:

• A pre-breakfast stroll for sea air and a gentle wake-up.
• A post-breakfast wander to ease into the day and let kids burn off energy.

3) Bring the family—let the playground and Zep Zone help

• Dine on the terrace while children explore the adjacent playground.
• Check the recreation program for kid-friendly activities in and around the Zep Zone during the season.

4) Plan an energised day ahead

• Keep your wellness routine simple: overnight guests enjoy free access to the on-site gym and sauna throughout their stay. A balanced breakfast plus a light session is an easy morning combo.

5) Up before the buffet?

If you’re moving earlier than 08:30, the on-site SPAR Supermarket bakes fresh bread and rolls every morning and opens early, so you can grab something simple before returning for the full buffet experience later.

Sample morning flow ideas

• Family ease-in: Kids get a few playground runs, adults enjoy coffee and a leisurely plate of fruit, pancakes, and an omelet. Finish with a short beach walk.
• Active start: Light fruit and a croissant, then a gym session or sauna reset. Return for a second cup of coffee and plan your dune or watersport adventure.
