The site for our first Scottish village is just off the A7, north of Hawick and south of Selkirk.
Up to 700 lodges
A range of leisure facilities
Restaurants

Subtropical Swimming Paradise
Aqua Sana Forest Spa
About the project
The project represents an investment of more than £450m. During construction, it will generate around 750-800 mainly regional jobs. Once operational, the village will create more than 1,200 permanent and largely local jobs, offering significant career opportunities, including management positions. We aim to use local suppliers and contractors whenever possible.
Consultation with communities
We are committed to continued engagement with the local community and will be communicating dates for upcoming community events, jobs fairs and supplier events via our email newsletter.
Virtual flythrough
A virtual tour of the village, featuring the arrivals road, Waterside Lodges, apartments, lochs, Aqua Sana Forest Spa, Subtropical Swimming Paradise, Sports Plaza, and the planned Nature and Heritage Centre.
FAQs
Why are you planning a new village?
Our existing villages are pretty much full all year round and we feel there is strong demand for another Center Parcs in the UK.
Why have you chosen Scotland?
We have a lot of Scottish families who visit Center Parcs already and this is a great opportunity to keep their economic impact in Scotland. The landscape and culture of the Scottish Borders also gives us an opportunity to take a bold and new approach, by creating our own woodland.
Why have you chosen this particular site?
This site has some areas of woodland but the majority is open grassland. This gives us the perfect opportunity to create our own woodland by planting thousands of trees. We think we can deliver significant biodiversity net gain on this site.
