A BRAND new Center Parcs resort is set to open in Europe – and it will be the first of its kind.
Center Parcs Nordborg will open in Denmark in 2025, the first resort for the country.

The first phase will include a 7,200m2 indoor waterpark
Also the first in Scandinavia, the holiday resort had hoped to open by the end of next year although this has since been pushed back.
The first phase of the park will include 440 holiday lodges sleeping between two and eight people, with some having sea views.
Also included in the first phase will be an activity centre and bike hire as well as a 7,200m2 indoor waterpark.
Dining facilities including a beach cafe, bakery, restaurant and grocery store will also be on-site.
The second phase will include the creation of 160 private holiday homes, followed by another 120 in phase 3, to be completed by 2030.
It is hoped the resort could welcome up to 160,000 tourists per year.
The resort is being designed by European architect Thierry Huau, who also designed Les Villages in Paris as well as the botanical theme park Terra Botanica, along with Danish SLA.
Construction for the holiday park has already started, and when completed will be the 28th resort for Center Parcs in Europe.
There will be 440 holiday lodges, with plans to open more by 2030
Restaurants, bakeries and beach cafes will all be on-site
Center Parcs Europe CEO Olivier Garaïalde said: “Our focus in this project is also on a sustainable vacation concept, which means that we strive to have as little impact as possible on the surrounding nature when building the accommodation and leisure facilities.
“Of course, typical Danish elements of architecture and design will be an integral part of the holiday park. The facilities will be available all year round and will offer great experiences for all age groups from young to old.”
Frank Daemen, Managing Director of Center Parcs Germany & Scandinavia, added: “We are convinced that the holiday park with direct beach access and a wide range of indoor and outdoor as well as water sports activities will be an enrichment for this attractive region at the Baltic Sea and the local community.”
While ticket prices are yet to be revealed, it is likely to be cheaper than the UK Center Parcs resorts which are some of the most expensive in Europe.
Earlier this year, a couple said they paid just £447 for a holiday in Center Parcs in Belgium, with a similar break in the UK Center Parc costing £1,699.
Another woman said she saved hundreds on her family holiday by going to the Center Parcs in the Netherlands.
Catherine Lofthouse explained: “We’re paying about £400 less at Zandvoort Center Parcs in Holland, just a short train ride outside Amsterdam compared to staying at one of the five Parcs in the UK.
“Our pounds stretch further abroad, with a better standard of accommodation, €30 (£26.22) of activities vouchers and the choice of which lodge to stay in, all included in the price.”
And here’s what you can expect from a holiday to Center Parcs in France.
The holiday resort announced plans for a sixth holiday resort in the UK, with a huge new park in Surrey.
However, this was scrapped earlier this year.
If you don’t want to leave the country to visit Center Parcs, here are some clever hacks to still save money.
