COAST MEETS COMFORT

Posted on November 12, 2025

THE OUTDOOR HEATED pool is the perfect spot to soak up summer sunshine.

 

We visit Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park, a perfect balance of seaside adventure, on-park facilities, and mopdern accommodation...

Located on the eastern coastline of the Isle of Wight and just a short ferry ride from the mainland, Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park is a destination that blends natural beauty with family-friendly fun.

Operated by Away Resorts, the park has established itself as one of the island’s most inviting spots for holidaymakers looking for a mix of seaside relaxation, outdoor adventure, and entertainment on tap.

Whether visiting for a short break or a longer summer getaway, guests quickly discover that Whitecliff Bay is more than just a holiday park – it’s an experience that leaves lasting memories.

A LOCATION LIKE NO OTHER
The park’s crown jewel is undoubtedly its secluded sandy beach. Accessible only through the park or via a coastal path, this stretch of golden shoreline offers the kind of tranquillity and exclusivity that’s rare in today’s busy holiday destinations.

Families can spend hours here paddling in the surf, building sandcastles, or simply enjoying the views across the English Channel. For couples or solo travellers, the beach provides a serene escape, particularly at sunrise or sunset when the cliffs glow with a distinctive hue that gives Whitecliff Bay its name.

FOUR-LEGGED GUESTS are greeted with their very own welcome pack

ACCOMMODATION FOR EVERY STYLE AND BUDGET
One of Whitecliff Bay’s greatest strengths is the range of accommodation available. From exclusive luxury lodges equipped with hot tubs and contemporary interiors, to classic caravans, chalets, and camping pitches for those who prefer a more back-to-nature experience, there’s something for every type of visitor.

Families often gravitate towards spacious lodges with modern kitchens and open-plan living areas, while younger groups and couples enjoy the flexibility of affordable chalets and caravans. Campers are well-catered for too, with well-maintained pitches and access to on-site facilities, making it easy to combine a traditional camping holiday with the perks of a full-service holiday park.

A WEALTH OF FACILITIES
Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park doesn’t just rely on its stunning location to keep guests entertained. The facilities on offer rival those of larger resorts, giving visitors plenty to do whatever the weather. The indoor pool, complete with flume, is a family favourite, while the outdoor heated pool is perfect for lazy summer afternoons.

Younger children love the adventure playground, and the crazy golf course provides light-hearted competition for all ages. The arcade and on-site launderette ensure practical needs are met, while the bike hire service opens up a world of exploration, allowing guests to discover the island’s scenic cycling routes.

A well-stocked shop and welcoming reception make daily life on the park straightforward, while the on-site bar and club deliver entertainment and dining options that extend the holiday mood long into the evening.

A coastal escape where relaxation meets adventure!

FOOD, DRINK, AND ENTERTAINMENT
No holiday is complete without good food and lively entertainment, and Whitecliff Bay delivers on both counts. The bar and club are the social hubs of the park, offering everything from family-friendly performances and themed evenings to more relaxed dining experiences.

During peak holiday periods, Away Resorts often organises special entertainment programmes, with activities ranging from live music and kids’ clubs to outdoor cinema screenings. It’s this sense of community and vibrancy that makes a stay here feel like much more than just a trip away – it’s a chance to immerse yourself in a ready-made holiday atmosphere.

EXPLORING THE ISLE OF WIGHT
While the park offers more than enough to keep families busy, its location makes it an ideal base for exploring the wider Isle of Wight. Just a short drive away, visitors can discover iconic landmarks such as Bembridge Windmill, the Isle of Wight Zoo, and the dramatic Culver Down.

The island is known for its mild climate, scenic countryside, and abundance of attractions, from historic castles to adventure parks, making it a destination in its own right. With bike hire available on site, even car-free holidays are made easy, allowing guests to enjoy the island at a leisurely pace.

WHETHER IT’S A LUXURY LODGE with a hot tub or a cosy caravan, there’s accommodation for every style occasion

PERFECT FOR FAMILIES, COUPLES, AND GROUPS
Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park strikes a balance that appeals to a broad audience. Families love the safe beach, pools, and child-friendly facilities; couples enjoy the romantic coastal setting and peaceful walks; and groups of friends find plenty of opportunities for fun, whether on the beach, in the bar, or exploring the island together.

The variety of accommodation ensures that everyone, from luxury-seekers to budget-conscious travellers, feels at home. Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park on the Isle of Wight encapsulates the best of the British seaside holiday tradition while offering modern comforts and a wide range of facilities.

£250K PLAY ZONE UNVEILED

 

TV PERSONALITY Josie Gibson declares the play area at Ladram Bay offcially open.

Family-owned Landram Bay has sunk a quarter of a million pounds into a new play zone to create one of Devon’s most exciting play opportunities: “Mums and dads know that kids get their biggest thrills from being active, so we went all out for the best possible experience,” said park director Zoe House. “The play area includes tunnels and an obstacle course, a multi-level adventure frame, wobbly bridges, slides and a pirate ship on which youngsters can clamber. “It’s enormous fun, but also encourages the development of physical fexibility and decision- making skills, as well as helping our younger guests to socialise with each other.”

Heart Of The Appeal

Heart Of The Appeal

ABOVE: A range of accommodation is offered from static caravans to lodges of various sizes and prices.

We admire the five star quality of Northumberland’s Amble Links Retreat…

Just a short stroll from the quaint fishing town of Amble and a stone’s throw from the spectacular, unspoiled beaches of Northumberland, you could say the heart of the appeal of the Amble Links Coastal Retreat & Holiday Park is its location, or, its location – oh yes, and that location. Apart from the picturesque immediate surroundings, owners at the park are placed in the perfect location to take advantage of everything that Northumberland has to offer. Whether it’s a relaxing stroll and unwind on the beach, or an all-action day out full of exploration, owners can create their own perfect holiday. Alnwick, Bamburgh and their castles, Northumberland National Park, Kielder Water, Holy Island and miles upon miles of coast are but a few attractions. Even the sights and sounds of Newcastle are within reach, just 40 minutes’ drive away. So it’s true to say that location is vitally important. The team at Amble Links are always looking for new ways to enhance the on-park experience of the holiday home ownership team. This is our challenge and ambition for the future. “One of the biggest challenges for the Amble Links team is maintaining the high, five-star standard of service,” reflects Brian Docherty, General Manager at Amble. “We want to build on the work that has seen Amble Links receive this Visit England award for so many consecutive years,” Brian continues.

ALL YEAR ROUND

“Our 12-month season allows our owners to visit their holiday home 365 days a year, to see all those towns, villages and attractions and that make the North East so great in another light, without the crowds,” he says. “With most holiday parks, you’re restricted to certain times of the year. In the North East, it’s common for gates to close in November, not reopening until March. “During these quieter autumn and winter months, you’re missing out on Northumberland at its most beautiful. We’re talking refreshing morning walks across the crisp, wintery sand dunes. The spectacular sight of the frosty, rolling countryside. Cosy pub lunches by a roaring fire in Northumberland’s finest eateries. Fortunately, here at Amble Links, there’s a 12-month season.” A range of accommodation is offered at Amble Links from static caravans and lodges of various sizes and prices, new and pre-owned. Some of the most sought-after holiday homes at Amble Links would be the 2020 Willerby Vogue Classique or the 2020 ABI Beaumont. Behind their appeal are high-end interiors, spacious open-plan living areas, large free-standing sofas, kitchen and dining areas as well as two bedrooms, each with ensuite. At Amble Links, pride is placed on offering owners a lavish on-park experience. As well as an indoor pool, sauna, steam room and gym, there’s the owners’ bar and entertainment lounge. That’s not forgetting the on-site restaurant and pub, The Old Storehouse, where delicious belly warmers are being served throughout the colder months; for quicker bites to eat, there’s also our pizzeria and café, The Pantry.

PLAY AWAY

The on-park children’s adventure playground and entertainment means that the little ones will be kept busy too. Brian again: “Many owners choose us because we also warmly welcome family members on four legs, as well as those on two. “The park is completely pet friendly, meaning owners don’t need to bother with the stress and expense of dog kennels when they’re planning their getaways.” Whether it’s the sales team, food and beverage team, our healthcare assistants, grounds managers or customer care advisors, everyone plays a crucial role in upholding Amble Links’ award-winning standards. It’s their proud job to ensure the park delivers a luxury holiday home ownership experience. “At Amble Links, quality is our passion. We’re dedicated to offering top quality service to match our five-star location and facilities" adds Brian I’m extremely proud of the team’s unbelievable work in achieving this and welcome guests to come and see for themselves just how special our park and community really is.”
