Every summer, Dana Cup turns Denmark into a hub of international youth football. Thousands of young players travel to Northern Jutland, transforming Hjørring into a vibrant meeting place for teams, families and fans for an entire week. For parents and siblings, the tournament offers the perfect opportunity to combine a major sporting event with a summer holiday – ideally with a holiday home as a relaxing retreat.

Holiday Homes – The Ideal Solution for Families and Groups

While the players stay together with their teams at local schools, parents and siblings can enjoy the peace and freedom of a holiday home in Northern Jutland in and around Hjørring. A holiday home offers exactly what families need during the Dana Cup: flexibility, plenty of space, and genuine relaxation.

Plenty of Space for Everyone

Hotels are often fully booked during the tournament week and are not always ideal for larger families. A holiday home, on the other hand, offers ample space for parents, siblings, grandparents, or friends. Separate bedrooms, a shared living area, and a private terrace ensure that everyone feels comfortable.

Your Own Kitchen

Match schedules can change and kick-off times may vary – having your own kitchen keeps you flexible. Whether it’s a relaxed breakfast, a shared dinner after the match, or a quick snack in between, everything follows your own rhythm.

Time to Unwind

After long days on and around the football fields, rest and recovery are essential. The landscape in Northern Jutland, with its dunes, heathland, and the sound of the sea, provides the perfect balance. Sitting on the terrace in the evening, relaxing in a whirlpool, or simply putting your feet up – a holiday home offers true downtime.

Short Distances to Match Venues and the Coast

Many holiday homes are just a short drive from Hjørring, as well as the coastal towns of Løkken and Lønstrup. This makes it easy to combine proximity to the tournament with beach days and nature experiences.

The Perfect Base to Explore Northern Jutland

While the players give it their all on the pitch, parents and siblings can explore the surrounding areas: beach walks, cycling tours, or short trips to charming coastal towns. Those with a bit more time can simply stay a few extra days and turn the tournament week into a true holiday.

Combining the Dana Cup with a Holiday in Northern Jutland

Away from the football matches, the region has plenty to offer:

• Wide sandy beaches in Løkken, Lønstrup, and Tversted

• Charming coastal towns such as Løkken or Blokhus, with inviting cafés and boutiques

• Stunning nature experiences in Thy National Park

• The spectacular lighthouse at the shifting sands of Rubjerg Knude

• Family-friendly adventures at the Nordsøen Oceanarium – with a 15% discount

• Get up close to the lords of the sky at the eagle sanctuary Eagleworld – now with a 20% discount

• Theme parks like Fårup Sommerland for a fun-filled, football-free day out

This makes Dana Cup week the perfect combination of sport, shared experiences, and a relaxing holiday atmosphere.

Book Dana Cup Accommodation Early

Demand during the Dana Cup is high, so early planning makes it much easier to find the right holiday home.

• Book early: many holiday homes sell out quickly

• Consider the location: areas around Hjørring, Løkken, and Lønstrup offer short distances to the tournament and a relaxed coastal atmosphere

• Check facilities: practical extras include a washing machine, Wi-Fi, a barbecue, and multiple bedrooms

• Ideal for groups: many houses accommodate 6-10 people – perfect for families or friends travelling together

Football Fever and Holiday Home Hygge

For young footballers, the Dana Cup is an unforgettable experience – and for families, a wonderful way to enjoy the Danish summer. A holiday home in and around Hjørring offers comfort, plenty of space, and true Nordic tranquillity. Anyone looking to combine sport, family time, and relaxation will find a holiday home to be the ideal base.
