An Isle of Wight holiday park situated between Sandown and Shanklin has been bought by a mainland holiday resort operator in a multimillion-pound deal, adding another location to the company’s growing portfolio.
Cheverton Copse Holiday Park, set in woodland surroundings, near Sandown Airport has been acquired by Lancaster-based Luxe Leisure Resorts, which operates holiday parks across the Isle of Wight, Lancashire and Yorkshire.
The purchase brings the company’s portfolio to 6 holiday parks, offering both holiday accommodation and holiday home ownership in coastal and countryside locations.
Luxe Leisure Resorts, which was established in 2011 and employs 45 people, has offices in Lancaster and already operates locations including Greendales Farm near Morecambe.
The company says Cheverton Copse’s peaceful setting and proximity to nearby towns made it an attractive addition to its growing business.
Myles McCarthy, Director at Luxe Leisure Resorts, has said:
“Cheverton Copse has everything we look for in a new park: a beautiful, peaceful setting within easy reach of a local town for our guests to explore.
“With 6 locations now in the group, we want to give people reasons to return while preserving the character that makes each one special.”

The acquisition comes amid continued demand for holidays closer to home, with figures from the Great Britain Tourism Survey estimating that British residents made 32.1 million overnight holiday trips across the country in 2025, generating £12.4billion in spending.
Northern law firm Harrison Drury advised Luxe Leisure Resorts on the multimillion-pound transaction, with corporate partner Jack Stephenson leading the deal alongside commercial property specialists Hannah Hughes and Rhian Hawkins.
Jack Stephenson, Corporate Partner at Harrison Drury, has said:
“As people consider holiday options closer to home, businesses such as Luxe Leisure are well placed to meet that demand.
“Adding Cheverton Copse to its portfolio gives customers more choice and marks another step in the team’s plans to grow the business.
Can only be a positive move.
