A Fresh Angle on a Dutch Classic: Tulip Season Takes Flight at Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam

At the heart of this year's offering is the new Bloomscape by Helicopter, an elevated expression of romance and adventure. The day begins at the Amsterdam Helipad, where guests board a private Airbus H120 for a 45-minute scenic flight over iconic windmills and sweeping bands of colour before touching down amid the blooms in Noordwijkerhout. From there, a private transfer leads to a secluded field set for an intimate dining moment, as an Anantara butler presents a carefully orchestrated gourmet picnic featuring local delicacies such as Dutch caviar with blinis and an Old Dutch cheese sandwich with artisanal Beemster and homemade apple syrup.

The 2026 collection also brings back two guest favourites. Tulip Treats offers a gentle introduction to the season, beginning with a private transfer to the Tulip Museum for an audio tour available in eleven languages. Guests then step into a spectacular show garden, home to four million tulips, before enjoying alfresco tea or coffee with handcrafted tulip shaped cakes. Dreamed up by a local patisserie, the colourful cakes are a visual delight: a velour finished mousse and a jewel bright jelly cup resting on a buttery base.

Meanwhile, Tulip Tableaux is designed as a romantic escape, transporting guests by premium transfer to a private tulip field. Amid rows of vivid blooms, an Anantara butler serves a luxury picnic showcasing local flavours such as light lobster salad with artichoke, grapefruit, tomato and asparagus; Dutch caviar with blini and creme fraiche; and a tulipinspired dessert layered with pear, elderberry, yoghurt and spiced Speculaas biscuits.

Guests may also enhance their stay with the Anantara Spa's signature Black Tulip Radiance Facial, which uses high performance Bloomeffects skincare harnessing antioxidants derived from local tulips, or take home exclusive Anantara Tulip bulbs in a distinctive sunshine gold hue. Developed in partnership with local growers, this unique variety reflects the brand's spirit and can be spotted each spring at Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam and other Anantara properties in Europe.

Bloomscape by Helicopter, spanning 5.5 hours, is priced at EUR 6,499 for two persons. Tulip Treats, 3.5 hours, is EUR 475 for two persons. Tulip Tableaux, 4 hours, is EUR 1,399 for two persons. All experiences are available from late March to early May, with exact bloom times varying each year, and include luxury car transfers and a gift bag from Bloomeffects.
