Summer BeachLife Ameland 2026 Program

Friday

Friday afternoon and evening give you the chance to get into the swing of things. From noon onwards, you can check in on Ameland, find your accommodation, and start enjoying the beach. Prefer Friday evening for your warm-up? Then we have a Queen & King of the Court tournament planned.

In the evening, the first party kicks off at beach club The Sunset. With a DJ spinning the best beats, this is the perfect way to kick off your beach volleyball weekend.

Saturday

The tournament kicks off Saturday morning at 9:00 AM. The fields will be buzzing with action all day long, with matches continuing until around 5:00 PM. Afterwards, you can relax: take a shower, enjoy a home-cooked meal, or dine out in the charming village of Hollum. Our partners with special offers can be recognized by their Summer BeachLife flags and are listed in the program booklet.

In the evening, there's another party at The Sunset, similar to Friday night. Tickets are required for both parties, which will be posted online later.

Sunday

The final day of play begins on Sunday at 10:00 AM and lasts until approximately 4:00 PM. Finish your weekend with the exciting award ceremonies starting at 3:30 PM, where the best teams will be recognized.

After a sporty and fun weekend, you'll return home satisfied. Or stay another night, relax, or hit the dance floor one last time at the free Sunday Afterparty. And in 2026, that could be something truly special. Enjoy all the beauty Ameland has to offer on Monday!
