5 Reasons to Buy a Holiday Home in 2027

*Updated for 2027.

With prospective holiday home and holiday lodge buyers looking ahead to 2027, many will be wondering how they can enjoy their down time, discover the perfect holiday getaway, or even begin the groundwork for their retirement.

Investing in a holiday home is becoming an increasingly attractive option. Whether tucked away in the idyllic countryside or nestled just a stone’s throw from the beach, owning your own holiday home has the potential to reshape your lifestyle. Below, we have listed five reasons to consider buying a holiday home in the coming year.

1. Enjoy More Freedom With Your Own Holiday Home

One of the biggest benefits of owning a holiday home is the freedom it gives you to get away more often.

Instead of searching for accommodation every time you fancy a break, you already have somewhere familiar waiting for you. Whether it’s a long weekend, a school holiday or a spontaneous few days away, owning a holiday home can make planning your next UK escape much simpler.

It also gives you greater control over how you holiday. You can leave some of your belongings there, settle into your favourite routines and get to know the surrounding area beyond the usual tourist hotspots.

Depending on your chosen holiday park and its opening season, you could also enjoy breaks at different points throughout the year, from busy summer holidays to quieter spring and autumn escapes.

For many owners, it’s that ability to simply pack a bag and go that makes holiday home ownership so appealing.

2. Make UK Staycations Easier in 2027

Holidaying closer to home continues to appeal to people across the UK. There are no airports to navigate, journeys can often be shorter and it can be easier to take everything – and everyone – you need with you.

Owning a holiday home makes it even easier to embrace the UK staycation.

Whether you love dramatic coastlines, peaceful countryside, traditional seaside towns or days spent exploring somewhere new, choosing the right holiday park gives you a permanent base in a destination you’ll want to return to again and again.

Victory supplies holiday homes to a wide selection of parks across the UK, including popular destinations such as Cornwall, Yorkshire and Norfolk.

Having your own base also gives you more opportunity to explore beyond your immediate surroundings. Find your favourite local pub, discover the best walking routes, revisit beaches you love and start experiencing your chosen destination like a home-from-home rather than somewhere you’re simply passing through.

3. Choose a Holiday Home That Fits Your Lifestyle

Your ideal getaway won’t necessarily look like somebody else’s, which is why finding a holiday home that works for the way you want to spend your time is so important.

You might want plenty of space for family holidays, a cosy retreat for two, an open-plan living area for entertaining or practical storage for everything you take away with you.

Victory offers holiday homes across a range of sizes, layouts and styles. For 2027, this includes the new Cotswold, alongside a refreshed Lakewood and favourites such as the 2 or 3-bedroom Ashberry and one-bedroom Lumiere.

There are also optional extras available across selected Victory models, giving you the opportunity to make your holiday home work even better for you.

And, if your job allows flexible or hybrid working, your holiday home may even provide a refreshing alternative place to work occasionally – giving you the chance to swap the usual surroundings for a different view before enjoying everything your destination has to offer once the laptop is closed.

4. Escape, Recharge and Spend More Time Outdoors

Life can get busy, and having a dedicated place to escape to can make it easier to switch off from everyday routines.

Your holiday home could put countryside walks, beaches, woodland trails or local attractions within easy reach, giving you more reasons to get outside and enjoy your surroundings.

There’s something appealing about slowing things down on holiday. Mornings can start with breakfast at your own pace, afternoons can be spent exploring and evenings can mean putting your feet up in surroundings that already feel familiar.

Whether your ideal break involves long coastal walks, discovering new places, eating outdoors or simply sitting back with a cup of tea and a good view, your holiday home can give you a space dedicated to enjoying your downtime.

And because it’s your own place, there’s no need to squeeze everything into one big annual holiday. A few shorter breaks throughout the year can give you regular opportunities to recharge and look forward to your next getaway.

5. Spend More Quality Time With Family and Friends

A holiday home isn’t just about where you stay; it’s about what you do while you’re there and who you share those experiences with.

Owning your own holiday home gives family and friends a familiar place to come together. From summer holidays and birthday weekends to half-term breaks and spontaneous getaways, it can become somewhere associated with the moments you remember long after the holiday has ended.

There’s also plenty of flexibility in what those holidays can look like. Some weekends might be full of days out and local adventures, while others might simply involve cooking together, playing games and relaxing in your holiday home.

If one of your goals for 2027 is to take more breaks or spend more quality time with loved ones, owning a holiday home can make those plans easier to put into action.

Choosing the right location is an important part of that. We supply a wide range of holiday home parks across the UK, helping you find somewhere that suits the way you and your family like to holiday.

You Can Also Let Out Your Holiday Home

Your holiday home is first and foremost somewhere for you to enjoy. However, depending on the holiday park you choose, there may also be an opportunity to let it to other holidaymakers when you’re not using it yourself.

This could help you to generate rental income and offset some of the ongoing costs associated with holiday home ownership.

It also allows you to make more use of your holiday home during periods when it would otherwise be empty, while giving other guests the opportunity to discover the destination you’ve chosen.

If letting is an important part of your plans, make sure you consider it before deciding where to site your holiday home. Parks can have different rules and arrangements around subletting, and you’ll also need to consider costs such as cleaning, changeovers, insurance and maintenance.

Holiday homes will typically depreciate over time, so they shouldn’t be viewed in the same way as a bricks-and-mortar property investment. Instead, any potential letting income can be considered alongside the main lifestyle benefits of owning somewhere you can enjoy yourself.

What Should You Consider Before Buying a Holiday Home in 2027?

Buying a holiday home is an exciting decision, but it’s worth doing your research before choosing your home and location.

Start by thinking about how you realistically plan to use it. Do you want somewhere for regular couples' breaks, larger family holidays or a mixture of both? How far are you prepared to travel from home? Do you want to be close to a beach, countryside, local attractions or a particular town?

Your choice of holiday park matters just as much as the holiday home itself. Consider the park’s opening season, facilities, site fees, rules around letting and whether the overall atmosphere is right for you.

It’s also important to budget for the wider costs of holiday home ownership. Alongside the purchase price, these can include transportation, annual site fees, utilities, insurance, maintenance and any optional extras you choose.

Taking time to understand these things before you buy will help you find a holiday home that works for your lifestyle as well as your budget.
