OUR FOUNDING LOCATIONS
We're welcoming our first places & initiatives across the Netherlands and Belgium: cafés, nature stays, studios, clubs, festivals and cultural spaces that already choose attention over screens.
Every OAZE location makes a conscious effort to create offline presence, each in its own way.
To Stay
Hotels, campsites and guesthouses that create shared spaces and offline activities, from campfires to communal dinners, where guests truly meet.
A BLEND OF LOCATIONS & INITIATIVES
OAZE brings together a diverse range of places that support offline presence.
From nature stays and food spaces to studios, cultural locations and events, each category reflects a different way of slowing down and focusing attention.
All locations help make the OAZE ecosystem visible and easy to explore.
They show how offline-friendly environments take shape in different contexts and experiences.
Places that invite offline presence
OAZE brings together different kinds of places.
Restaurants, museums, nature stays, studios and events.
What they share is not what they do, but how they do it.
A museum where you can look at art without rushing.
A restaurant where your phone stays off the table.
A place in nature where you truly disconnect from your screen.
It sometimes takes courage.
But it makes all the difference.
Discover how offline-friendly environments take shape across different types of locations.
OAZE established the first quality standard
for minimizing digital distraction
“OAZE gave us a clear framework to support offline presence without changing who we are.”
“This place reminded me how different an experience feels when your attention isn’t constantly interrupted.”
IN THE AGE OF DIGITAL DISTRACTION, BEING OFFLINE BECOMES MORE IMPORTANT FOR OUR MENTAL WELLBEING
Lower Cognitive Load
Reduced digital input helps lower stress levels and mental fatigue.
Offline moments support sustained attention.
Increases Real Interaction
Offline environments increase the likelihood of face-to-face interaction.
This reduces feelings of social isolation.
Calms Nervous System
Less constant stimulation allows the nervous system to recover.
This supports emotional balance and mental wellbeing.
WHY WE CRAVE OFFLINE MOMENTS
Being constantly connected comes at a cost. More and more people are looking for places where attention feels natural again and where screens fade into the background.
