STORY
Bed & Breakfast in a Bunker
Knokke, Belgium
Situated among vast fields and quiet sheep herds in Belgium, a heritage structure has been restored into a newly opened B&B. ’The Bunkers’ as the property is aptly named, was originally built in concrete on the brink of 1st world war. Today, it has been completely renovated by a Belgian family with a love for architecture - welcome to 'The Bunkers'.

Meet the family
Axel, Margaux and 1-year-old Maxyne are the family behind Knokke’s newly opened bed & breakfast 'The Bunkers'. Axel grew up 2 km from the property with his parents and dreamt about living at this property someday. Axel’s dream came true, when the property went on the market and he feels lucky to be able to wave to his parents across the fields.
B&B with view
A visit to The Bunkers is indeed an opportunity to explore the unspoiled nature of Belgium. Situated in the rural area by the North-Eastern seaside of the Belgian coast, Knokke-Heist is best known for its beautiful shorelines and beaches and for the dike system from which the area originated.
Contemporary guest house
The original floors of concrete and large rocks can still be found in the old barn, which is now home to the B&B. Design furniture are handpicked to craft a spirit of a contemporary guest house.
Bedtime story
Vipp lamps and side tables are found in all rooms as functional bedtime assistants.
Bespoke bathrooms
Sinks in the bathrooms are custom-made from the same concrete used on the floor. Only black accessories from Vipp interrupt the grey monochrome colour scheme.
Pool party
The family had a tunnel dug out 1.5 meters under ground between the main house and the combined pool and sauna, situated in the basement of the B&B. The jade-coloured pool is typical for Belgium.
