Landal GreenParks UK, the UK’s company offering holiday breaks in nature, has seen a 24% YoY increase in summer bookings driven by longer staycations in the Southwest region.
The self-catering holiday specialist has seen a 57% increase in 14-night stays YoY in the region, with 60% of bookings for durations of seven-nights or longer showcasing a growing trend for extended summer breaks.
It follows the addition of Landal Whalesborough Resort & Spa to the UK portfolio earlier this year, and extra capacity with brand-new lodges at Landal Bude Coastal Resort and Landal Clowance, to meet demand.

“We are delighted to see such a strong start to the summer season. It’s clear from our data that we are seeing real growth in holidaymakers looking for longer getaways during the summer period for two reasons. Guests are wanting to make the most of the time they spend with loved ones as well as use our resorts as a base to discover what the UK has to offer.” said Paul Hardingham, Managing Director of Landal GreenParks UK.

This is a testament to our diverse range of resorts with onsite facilities such as indoor swimming pools, restaurants and activities, providing families with weatherproof breaks, excellent value and the opportunity to explore the UK.”
