Pairi Daiza Resort, awarded "Europe's Best Holiday Park", opens bookings for 2027.
With 88 new accommodation units added in 2026, Pairi Daiza Resort continues to attract an increasingly international audience: bookings from outside Belgium account for 48.5% of the total, compared with 45.3% in 2025*.
From canopy cabins overlooking Squirrel monkeys to cosy rooms with views of sharks or Polar bears, the Pairi Daiza Resort invites travellers to discover a world of wonder and stay a little longer. Bookings for 2027 are now open.
An increasingly international destination
As at 30 September 2026, more than 53,600 stays had already been booked for 2026.* This development comes alongside the expansion of the Resort’s accommodation capacity, including the new lodgings in Edenya.
Beyond the number of stays booked, another trend is becoming clear: Pairi Daiza Resort is attracting an increasingly international clientele.
International bookings account for 48.5% of the 2026 total, an increase of 3.2 percentage points compared with 2025. Belgium remains the Resort’s largest market, representing 51.5% of bookings.
The Netherlands is now the leading international market, accounting for 17.43% of all bookings, narrowly ahead of France at 17.36%. The Dutch share has risen from 14.8% in 2025 to around 17.4% in 2026. Germany accounts for 4.4%, up from 3.5%, while the United Kingdom represents 3.2%, compared with 2.4% a year earlier.
The Resort also welcomes visitors from further afield, including the United States, Canada, Australia and Japan. Some international visitors also book an additional private guided tour to fully experience and understand the stories behind authentic buildings, rare minerals and plants.
European recognition for an extraordinary stay
In 2025, a jury of German tourism professionals named Pairi Daiza “Europe’s Best Holiday Park” for the first time at the Parkscout.de awards. Parkscout.de is a German specialist website covering theme parks, zoos and water parks.The jury highlighted the immersive accommodation and the combination of nature, animals, plants, culture and historic buildings.
The distinction has recently been renewed for 2026 and recognises Pairi Daiza’s commitment to fresh ideas, quality and innovation, with animal care and the visitor experience at the heart of its approach.
Edenya marks a new chapter for Pairi Daiza Resort
The year 2026 also marked a major milestone for Pairi Daiza Resort with the opening of 88 new lodgings in the heart of Edenya, from 21 February. Spanning seven types of immersive accommodation, they invite guests to enjoy a unique stay close to the living world.
From wooden cabins suspended in the canopy overlooking Squirrel monkeys to cave-style rooms overlooking the tapir and capybara habitats, and suites inspired by Mayan temples facing the jaguars, each offers a distinctive setting.
These new lodgings enrich the Pairi Daiza Resort experience, allowing guests to continue their journey of wonder, by day and by night, in the heart of the world’s largest indoor tropical garden. Guinness World Records has officially awarded Pairi Daiza's Edenya three world records: ‘The world’s largest indoor tropical garden’ and ‘The world’s largest indoor zoological ecosystem’ and 'the largest number of plant species cultivated in an indoor tropical garden' (Most plant species cultivated in a tropical greenhouse).
Bookings for 2027 are now open.
Whether staying in the historic abbey farmhouse, surrounded by tropical plants and animals, or close to penguins, walruses or Siberian tigers, guests can now plan their stay for 2027 and discover the 16 different accommodation types at Pairi Daiza Resort.
