About us and ZaligAanZee

Hello, we are Kathleen and Stefaan, the driving forces behind Zalig Aan Zee and Zalig in AntwerpenTogether with our family, we live in the North of Antwerp in Belgium. After twenty years of working in various sectors at different companies, we decided in 2010 to embark on a new adventure: Zalig!

Finding dilapidated properties with historical value and breathing new life into them through a complete renovation as holiday homes for families, groups of friends or colleagues, that is our passion!
We believe the Flemish word “Zalig” (“Blissful” in English) perfectly captures that overwhelming holiday feeling. That’s exactly what we want to offer you the moment you step into one of our holiday homes: an instant vacation bliss !
 

You can rent these holiday lettings, suitable for 4 to 24 people, directly from us through Zaligaanzee.be and Zaliginantwerpen.be.
