Why Sandy Balls? Some come for blissful relaxation in the idyllic setting; others are here for the huge variety of awesome activities. Whatever the reason, our award-winning holiday village has you covered! Our stunning 120-acre estate, nestled in the breathtaking New Forest National Park, is conveniently located just 30 minutes outside of Bournemouth. Daily adventures are very much on the menu here at Sandy Balls. As well as the plentiful list of facilities and activities available, nearby winding paths will lead you to beauty spots aplenty; perfect for making memories (and gorgeous photos).
The New Forest Despite being easy to get to, The New Forest feels like a different world! Don’t be surprised if you bump into ponies, cattle and donkeys roaming free while you’re out exploring. And there are so many wonderful places to visit, including wildlife parks, award-winning gardens, museums and lots more! The colours change spectacularly with the seasons, but the fun-level remains at 100 all year round.

FAQs How quickly can I move in after purchase? We get it, once you’ve found your holiday home, you’ll want to move in asap. If yours is already on park and you’ve paid in full, you’ll be in within 14 days (often sooner). If your home is new from the manufacturer, we can only prepare it when it arrives but we’ll keep you updated every step of the way. Either way, the perfect upgrade to your downtime won’t be far away! How long is the park open? Owners can enjoy the park all year round unless a 9-month pitch option has been chosen (please ask for more details). Will my holiday home be covered by warranty? Yes. Whether it’s brand new, ex-demo, or pre-loved, you’ll enjoy peace of mind with our exclusive 3-year warranty package. At Away Resorts, age really doesn’t matter, we’ve got you covered. Do I have to pay extra to use the park facilities? Facilities are covered in your pitch fees (apart from those pesky one-armed bandits and pool tables), so please fill your boots! Bookable activities will carry a small charge. Don’t forget about your 20% discount in bars, restaurants, activities, cycle hire and spa. How long will the park tour take? As long (or as short) as you like. We’ll happily show you everything, but it’s your day. Feel free to bring your family along if you’d like to turn your tour into a mini adventure! *Details and terms and conditions of our 3 year Warranty can be found on our website awayresorts.co.uk/holiday-homes/latest-offers or by speaking to one of our dream team.
