Introducing the De Hoop Foundation
For more than a decade, De Hoop Collection has been guided by a simple belief:when people flourish, nature flourishes too.
As we approach the end of 2024, we can't help but look ahead to what next year holds. For many people, a New Year's resolution includes the concept of a Travel Bucket List. There’s something magical about turning dreams into plans, and one of the best ways to do that is by writing that bucket list. Setting goals for your life - and your travel adventures - not only gives you direction but also motivates you to achieve things that matter most to you. A well-thought-out bucket list is more than just a collection of things to do. It’s a roadmap to living with purpose, creating unforgettable memories, and stepping out of your comfort zone.
Travel, especially to unique and stunning outdoor destinations, like De Hoop Collection, offers unparalleled benefits. Nature has a way of recharging the soul, whether it’s the serenity of a sunrise, the adventure of a trail hike, or the calm of a crystal-clear beach. Being outdoors can reduce stress, and boost creativity. It’s a chance to disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with what really matters.
A bucket list provides the perfect opportunity to make these dreams a reality - whether it’s exploring pristine wilderness, discovering new cultures, or simply taking time for yourself.
We've put together a Bucket List template (click to download) to help you make the most of your 2025 travel dreams.
We look forward to welcoming you to De Hoop for an experience worthy of your bucket list!
