Owning a holiday home is a dream for many, and offers the chance to escape the day-to-day and enjoy lavish accommodation and luxurious amenities whenever the mood strikes – particularly if your home-from-home happens to be right here in the UK.
Staycations have enjoyed a dramatic surge in popularity over recent years as we continue to make the most of a new-found appreciation for all of the natural beauty and spectacular countryside and beachfront destinations on offer here, and if you’re eager to make the most of your weekends and time off work, then what better way to do so than by splurging on your very own luxury residence?
Holiday rentals are big business in 2024, and the demand for opulent holiday homes is at an all-time high. Which means that whilst finding the perfect property for you might see you facing off some stiff competition, if you’re buying to let then you could be about to set yourself up a lucrative new year-round income stream.
Luxury Lodges offers a show-stopping portfolio of high-end holiday homes in some of the UK’s most beautiful destinations, and is redefining the concept of luxury living and opulent escapes. With Residences available to own at two of its five-star self-catering resorts located in some of Britain’s best-loved holiday locations, both as rental and purchase opportunities, if you’re looking for the perfect home from home for you, or as your latest investment, then you’ve come to the right place.
Set within beautifully landscaped parklands in the lap of luxury, locations include the spectacular Dylan Coastal Resort in Laugharne, Carmarthenshire and the Bude Coastal Retreat in North Cornwall – both of which are popular destinations for tourists during the spring and summer months, but that remain sought-after all year round.
Combining the luxuries of hotel living with the freedom of holiday home ownership, if you’ve been seeking an exciting new opportunity to uplevel your lifestyle then this might just be it.
Dylan Coastal Resort
The Dylan Coastal Resort, set in scenic Carmarthenshire and along the rugged south-western Welsh coastline, is the epitome of seaside luxury living, and offers spectacular panoramic views over the Taf Estuary. Its luxury Residences are nothing short of show-stopping, featuring spacious interiors and showcasing contemporary design, and are available in a choice of two or three bedrooms.
Fully kitted out with an array of stylish and carefully-selected furniture and soft furnishings, and with stunning sea views from your own private terrace, when it comes to idyllic settings, it really doesn’t get much better.
The resort boasts an array of high-end amenities, including the Milk Wood House Kitchen and Bar, which enjoys more great views down over the estuary, as well as some of the best spa facilities in South Wales at the beautiful glass-fronted Milk Wood Spa. There’s also a fitness centre on site, and nearby, there are several historic landmarks to spot and quaint villages to explore.
Bude Coastal Resort
Perched atop rugged cliffs on the North Cornwall coast, the Bude Coastal Resort is every ocean lover’s dream, and offers a luxurious sanctuary away from the pressures of modern life. Located close to the vibrant seaside town of Bude, which comes alive with surfers and tourists during the summer months, its lavish residences are some of the most exclusive holiday homes in Cornwall, and are as stunning inside as they are from the outside. As well as beautifully designed interiors and all of the usual mod cons, expect an array of lavish extras that really uplevel the living experience, plus a host of additional benefits for owners to enjoy.
The resort’s highlight is the sophisticated Glasshouse, which features floor-to-ceiling windows and a private terrace with a hot tub where you can soak away the stresses and strains in the utmost of privacy and exclusivity whilst taking in the spectacular natural beauty that surrounds you.
Owners and their guests can also enjoy access to the resort’s laid-back cafe bar, modern leisure facilities, and a play area for the little ones. Plus, if you fancy indulging in a little me-time, there’s a tranquil spa and treatment rooms where you can treat yourself whenever the mood strikes.
Purchasing your piece of paradise
So, if you’ve fallen in love with one of these dream properties, then how exactly can you make ownership a reality?
Luxury Lodges offers flexibility and convenience for buyers seeking to invest in luxury real estate, whether you’re looking for a second home, a holiday retreat, or a lucrative investment opportunity, with all homes coming fully furnished and prices starting from £250,000.
There are two options available, depending on what best suits your needs, and whether you’re looking to be able to spend unlimited time in your residence as and when the mood strikes, or to generate an income from it through buying to let.
For unlimited use by you and your family, the Lifestyle option allows you to do just that. It’s all yours, and you can visit anytime. The same applies with the Sublet option, but it also allows owners to rent out their home either all of the time throughout the 12-month rental season, or just when you’re not using it – so you can maximise your property’s earning potential whilst enjoying the benefits of ownership, too. Rental terms are fully flexible, and there’s no minimum stay for guests.
To minimise admin, there’s a dedicated property management team on hand to oversee subletting, including bookings, maintenance and guest services, so it’s easy if you’re looking to generate passive income with a hands-off approach that takes up minimal precious time.
You can cover your running costs with as little as 30 per cent rental occupancy, which means anything beyond that is pure profit. As well as making lovely second homes, these opulent Residences are brilliant investment opportunities and annual running costs can be covered by as little as 30 per cent rental occupancy, as an example of what you can expect to make on top, on a Dylan Coastal Resort residence there is up to £27,450 potential net return per year with only 60 per cent rental occupancy.
With the Sublet option, all internal and external cleaning, linen change, slippers and robes are included in the services provided to your guests throughout their stay. If you’ve chosen a Residence with a hot tub, then it’ll be fully taken care of on your behalf whilst guests are staying, including refilling, cleaning and regular chemical testing. And of course, just like you if you’re visiting, they’ll be able to enjoy access to all of the on-site amenities, including the resorts’ restaurants, fitness centres and luxury spas.
