There is something special about having somewhere to escape to time and time again, where your family can relax, explore and make memories together.

And at Darwin Escapes, we believe that owning a holiday home isn’t just about having somewhere to stay, it is also about creating a lifestyle that works for you. And across our holiday home ownership resorts we pride ourselves in catering for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a sense of community at a resort that offers plenty for families to do, or you are after a retreat that provides you with a peaceful haven in the ideal location for exploring the local area, there is a perfect resort waiting for you. Here’s why owning your own holiday home could be the best decision you ever make.

the ultimate family escape, on your terms

When you own a holiday home, you are in control of it all. There is no need to stress about navigating when to go, where to go, and working around holiday prices. Instead, you have the perfect home away from home that is ready when you are. Whether you’re deciding on a spontaneous weekend away last minute or planning a few weeks away in the summer holidays. This way you can enjoy holidays that are a lot more relaxing and a lot less chaotic as everything you need is already there.

space to truly relax and reconnect

Since you’ve chosen which holiday home you want to own, you have called all the shots on how big it needs to be to cater for the whole family. So, there is no need to worry about getting away when you’ve got your own open plan living areas, well-equipped kitchens, outdoor decking and plenty of bedrooms for everyone. You will pick the perfect space, and it is yours to enjoy from family game nights to sitting and enjoying the peace and quiet with a morning coffee.

pet-friendly perks (because dogs are family too!)

Everyone knows that a family holiday isn’t complete without your dog. And when you own a holiday home with us at one of our Darwin Escapes resorts your pup is just as welcome as everyone else! Each of our ownership resorts are located perfectly so that you can explore the local area, from the incredible UK beaches to the vast countryside and captivating forests. With owning a holiday home, you can say goodbye to expensive kennels and dog-sitters and let your dog enjoy the holiday with you.

community and connections

One of the things that you may not think about straight away with holiday home ownership is the sense of community and the new connections you could make on the resort. Since you will have one of the resorts as your base you will end up seeing familiar faces each time you visit, whether that be your neighbours or just people you see at the owner exclusive events. Children can make friends on the play areas or seasonal activities on the resort and parents can bond over morning coffees or evening drinks.

cost-effective family holidays again and again

When it comes to planning out what holidays you want to book for the year, it can quickly add up, especially with children and trying to fit it around the school holidays. But when you own a holiday home, you’re making a smart investment in years or memorable getaways with your family. There are no hidden booking fees, no inflated prices and no compromises, simply choose when you want to go, pack your bags and enjoy.
