New Center Parcs Village opens with 625 lodges and 75-key hotel
The new Village is set within 362 acres of forest in Bedfordshire and builds on Center Parcs’ 27 years of experience and commitment to providing great family breaks. It is home to Center Parcs’ largest Subtropical Swimming Paradise, along with a state-of-the-art Aqua Sana spa, 625 lodges, a 75-room hotel, six Spa Suites and a host of restaurants, shops and over 100 leisure activities. Woburn Forest will be Center Parcs’ closest Village to London, just four miles from the M1 junction 13 and only 50 minutes by rail from St Pancras, London.
Woburn Forest features all of the ingredients that have been key to the success of Center Parcs over many years and will include some new and exciting designs.
Preparing to personally welcome the first guests to Woburn Forest, Martin Dalby, CEO of Center Parcs comments: “After years of hard work, dedication and passion, we’re thrilled that Woburn Forest is opening today and we’re ready to welcome our first guests. There is already a real buzz around the new Village and we hope that families are as excited as we are at the prospect of a short break at Woburn Forest.
“Everything about the new Village is the result of a culmination of 27 years of experience and lots of guest research into what modern families are looking for. We are determined to offer the best short break experience for families, unrivalled in quality by anyone else in Europe.”
New and exclusive to Woburn Forest are the ‘upside down’ Executive Lodges, which have unrivalled panoramic views across the woodland from the first floor family living space. Woburn Forest also has the highest percentage of executive and exclusive accommodation of all the Center Parcs Villages. All lodges feature stylish modern interiors and are wooden clad with sloping roofs.
The Shearing House restaurant, inspired by the local area’s farming heritage, has been designed specifically for the new Village. Its spacious and relaxing environment offers large sofas, communal kitchen tables and an outdoor terrace with stunning forest views.
Woburn Forest has the biggest, most innovative spa Center Parcs has ever created, a concept evolved from the success of its existing Aqua Sana spas. Inspired by nature, the Aqua Sana combines different experiences inspired by many of the leading spas across Europe. There are six unique spas to journey through within Aqua Sana, each one with a variety of multi-sensory experience rooms, two of which are the first of their kind in the world. There is also an outdoor infinity pool looking out across the forest views.
