OWN YOUR OWN HOLIDAY HOME ON THE STUNNING ISLE OF WIGHT
The dream: having your own island paradise that you can escape to whenever you like.
The reality: Whitecliff Bay!
With around 2000 hours of sunshine, the Isle of Wight is the UK’s sunniest spot. At Whitecliff Bay, whether the sun is shining or not, your smiles will be beaming the whole time you’re here! There’s family fun in spades (and buckets), amazing facilities and stunning views around every corner.
Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park is one of those places that’s almost too special to put into words (but we’ll try otherwise this will be a disappointing brochure!). The lovely people, the fun atmosphere, the island air, the stunning views – all of it comes together to make this one of the most fabulous staycation locations you could wish for.
Considering it’s quite small, the Isle of Wight punches very much above its weight in terms of how much there is to see and do. For animal lovers, there’s an awesome big cat sanctuary and zoo. For history buffs, the island is one of the richest fossil locations for dinosaurs in Europe. And for the action adventurers, there’s 200 miles of cycling routes and over 500 miles of lush walking paths. Of course, if you prefer pints and pies to dinosaurs and bike rides, there’s lots of great restaurants and pubs here too.

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!
When is the park open?
Owners can enjoy the park for 10 1/2 months – or, if you fancy more time by the sea, you can opt for our extended 12-month licence and make the most of your holiday home all year round.
Just a heads-up: your holiday home can’t be your main residence… so think of it as your very own seaside getaway, not your new office commute.
Do you offer discounted ferry travel?
Owners here at Whitecliff Bay benefit from discounted ferry travel once you join. There are options to buy books of tickets or individual. We can explain in more detail during your visit.s
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.
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! We can supply you with activity passes if you want to get a full feel for the park’s awesomeness.
