Hotel Wanapa: The filming location of Augurk aan Zee
Hotel Wanapa is proud to have been the filming location of the Dutch movie Augurk aan Zee during the month of February 2025, set to be released in cinemas and on Prime Video in November 2025. A total of 18 out of 22 shooting days took place on our island, and the hotel plays a key role in the story. The film revolves around the character of Hotel Wanapa, making our hotel not just a setting, but a star in its own right. What makes this film even more exciting are the renowned actors starring in it. The cast includes some well known names in Dutch cinema, such as Tibor Lukács, Jelka van Houten, Olga Zuiderhoek, Monic Hendrickx, Tim Haars, Peter van den Begin, and Rico Verhoeven. A large number of these actors also stayed at our hotel during the filming, adding to the unique connection between the film and our place.
“The location of the hotel was perfect for us as we often stayed at Lac Bay for windsurfing. (A car or another means of transport is necessary here, however. You should have that on the island but in any case to get to the many nice diving and snorkeling spots.) Fenna, the hostess, took a lot of time to provide us with information and tips about the island. Ours Room was very large and tastefully decorated overlooking the beautiful, large pool. The breakfast was a dream. We booked the dinner 4 times. It was each time very individual with a lot of heart. Cooking is truely a passion for the two chefs. You can see this from every dish and above all, you can taste it. For all guests two large tables are set and you can eat together, if you want. We spent lovely evenings here and felt at home.”
