Hot tub caravan and lodge holidays near Bournemouth

Hoburne Park was the very first Hoburne holiday park to open its doors, back in 1912, and remains the perfect base to launch an active and exciting holiday. Set in an intimate and exclusive location you’re just a few minutes’ walk from the soft sandy Avon  beach or a further stroll to picturesque Mudeford Quay or pretty Hengistbury Head.

On park, we’ve designed it so you’re always in easy reach of pretty much everything. Make the most of the indoor and outdoor pools, fitness suite, café, bar and brasserie, and enjoy evening entertainment from your talented Hoburne Hosts and guest cabaret acts in The Venue. 

Hot tub holidays in Dorset

Sink into the bubbles of your own private hot tub when you opt for one of our luxurious hot tub lodges or caravans. It's the perfect way to end a busy day of exploring and spend quality time together.
