Sandy Balls Holiday Village

About

Step away from the ordinary and into the extraordinary at Sandy Balls, where the natural beauty of the New Forest is an amazing backdrop to the famous Away Resorts Great British staycation. Set in the beautiful New Forest, you will experience a new adventure at Sandy Balls every day. In addition to our variety of on-site facilities and activities, our location adds a little bit extra, with its winding paths leading to one stunning beauty spot after another.

Facilities

Whether you want to kick back and relax or rediscover your sense of adventure, Sandy Balls is for you. Take your pick from a whole host of services conveniently located within The Village Square. Too chilled to cook?  Whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner, let the team rustle you up something delicious in one of the restaurants to keep you out of the kitchen. Visit The Woodside Inn for gourmet pub grub, or Aubrey’s Forest Kitchen for artisan pizzas, steaks and pasta dishes. And if you've forgotten any essentials, you can pop into Acorn Place Shop & Deli for that important ingredient, local produce and a coffee. Indulge in a massage, manicure or facial at the on-site beauty suite, The Retreat. Work out in the gym and enjoy a post-workout swim at the onsite Leisure Centre. For the more adventurous, take a two-wheeled adventure through the forest on your bikes with the help of the Cycle Centre.

Accommodation

Whatever your budget, we’ve got you covered; from classic caravans and lodges to our exclusive accommodation. Sink into a hot tub holiday, enjoy a log cabin with woodland views or soothe your spirit in the sanctuary of a Zen holiday home. Our exclusive Knightwood accommodation, named after the largest oak tree in the forest, is like nothing Sandy Balls has seen before with hot tubs, BBQ's, cosy outdoor seating, bike rack and dog shower! The Heartwood has a woodland tartan theme, cosy and totally unique. We’ve got our accessible and Westwood units. Both have wider doors, ramp access and a wet room.

Local attractions

If you can prise yourself away from the wonderful wildlife of the surrounding forest, some great local attractions are within easy reach. Family friendly Peppa Pig World, Go Ape and Adventure Wonderland are within a 30-minute drive. For those wanting to take in the historic sites of the local area, Highcliffe Castle, Beaulieu and Exbury Gardens are around 35-minutes' drive. A local brewery is just 13-minutes down the road for those that want to sample some locally produced tipples!
