About us

Hello,
We are Kathleen and Stefaan, the inspirers of ZaligAanZee and ZaligInAntwerp. Together with our 3 daughters, we live in the North of Antwerp.

After 20 years of working at different companies in a variety of sectors, we chose a new adventure; Zalig!

We found the word “Zalig”, meaning blissful, the best word to describe that overwhelming holiday feeling. Because that is exactly what we offer each and one of our guests at ZaligAanZee and ZaligInAntwerpen : instant vacation!
