Our Story

A New Forest Tradition Since 1956

Tucked away on the edge of the timeless New Forest National Park, Sandy Balls Holiday Village has been crafting unforgettable family holidays for nearly seven decades. What began as a humble touring park has blossomed into an award-winning destination.

Our name—unique as it is—dates back centuries to the sandy, dome-shaped hills that define our landscape. Today, we blend that rich heritage with modern luxury, offering a peaceful sanctuary where wild deer roam freely and the night skies dazzle.

Immersed in Nature

Step outside and into 120 acres of pristine ancient woodland, teeming with native wildlife.

Endless Activities

On-site cycling, archery, woodland trails, and the famous New Forest ponies right on our doorstep.

Sandy Balls is our family's happy place. We’ve been coming every summer for five years. The lodges are immaculate, the forest is magical, and the kids love every minute. It’s the true essence of a British holiday. — The Whittaker Family, Returning Guests
