The Van Oys
Philosophy
At Van Oys, sustainability and slow living are at the heart of our philosophy and everything we do.
As a recognised Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader and proud advocate of the Cittaslow philosophy, we offer a refined yet responsible escape – where luxury meets environmental consciousness and authentic local culture.
Sustainability in Action
Our commitment to sustainability ensures that every stay leaves a lasting impression, not a footprint.
The Art of Slow Living
We embrace the Cittaslow ethos, encouraging guests to savour every moment authentically.
A Taste of the Region
Our farm-to-table philosophy celebrates local, seasonal ingredients, crafting dishes that honour tradition.
At Van Oys, we draw inspiration from the concept of Blue Zones – regions where people live significantly longer thanks to a shared lifestyle and environment that prioritise health and wellbeing. When we look at the core characteristics of these Blue Zones, we see striking parallels with the spirit of Maastricht and the surrounding region.
Our mission aligns seamlessly with the Maastricht 2040 City Vision, which places the healthy city at its heart, echoing the province’s ambition to lead in healthcare innovation and enhance both the quantity and quality of life. Social innovation and the concept of positive health are key drivers of this movement. To meet the region’s urgent health needs, collaboration and creative solutions are essential.
Maastricht’s vibrant scientific ecosystem is already paving the way. The four Brightlands campuses – Health, Chemelot, Smart Services, and Greenport Venlo – each contribute to this shared goal from their unique fields of expertise. Institutions such as Maastricht University and Maastricht UMC+ play a vital role, alongside countless forward-thinking companies and organisations. At Van Oys, we are proud to be part of this dynamic movement, contributing to a healthier, more meaningful way of living.
