Nieuw Loosdrecht covers a small area densely populated; Oud-Loosdrecht consists mainly of lakeside villas.
Until 2002 Loosdrecht was a separate municipality in the province of Utrecht, covering the villages of Oud-Loosdrecht and Nieuw-Loosdrecht, and the hamlets of Breukeleveen and Muyeveld.
Loosdrecht is known for its lakes, the Loosdrechtse Plassen [nl], which thousands of tourists visit every year.
The lakes are a hotspot for the well-to-do, with several exclusive yachting clubs and restaurants lining the shores.
