Carnival Maastricht
7 February 2027 to 9 February 2027
Binnenstad Maastricht
You step into quiet surroundings in Lanaken, Spaubeek or Epen, while the festivities in the city centre of Maastricht are only a short distance away. Fresh air flows across the terrace, and inside, plates, glasses and cutlery are ready. After a day in the city, you close the door behind you and enjoy the peaceful calm of your holiday home. At specialstays, you will find the ideal base for these festive days between 15-02-2026 and 17-02-2026.
Why stay here
Carnival Maastricht runs from Sunday through Tuesday, taking place from 15-02-2026 to 17-02-2026. The Tempeleers organise this celebration together with the municipality in the city centre of Maastricht. In the surrounding regions of Belgian Limburg and Limburg, 29 holiday homes are ready for a peaceful rest after celebrating. This way, you can balance the festive atmosphere in the city with the nature of River Park Meuse Valley or a walk near Smeermaas along the Meuse dyke.
The selection at specialstays varies in size and layout. You can choose from places with a living space from 20 to 185 m², suitable for 2 to 8 people. The properties have 1 to 4 bedrooms. For instance, Forest cabin Rekem - Luka in Lanaken comfortably welcomes 4 people with 2 bedrooms, while Forest cabin Rekem - Boris offers space for 6 people with 3 bedrooms. For smaller groups, there is Maas Suites - Ibiza Suite for 3 people, or choose the Wielerhuuske in Spaubeek for 4 people.
Each of the 29 holiday homes features practical amenities such as Wi-Fi, a terrace, a shower, a toilet and a washbasin. In the kitchen, you will find cutlery, plates and glasses ready for use. Aside from the celebrations, you can pick up food from The Filling Station, EETHUIS ZEMZEM or Mario's Ice Rekem. For relaxation, there is Phuthai Massage, and you can shop at Amerikaanse Stock or Studio Viertien.
After a day filled with music in the city centre, retreat to your private terrace. Inside the holiday homes, you will find everything you need for a comfortable stay during these winter days.
