Center Parcs is a European network of holiday villages incorporating a UK-based company, Center Parcs UK, which runs holiday villages in the United Kingdom and a sister enterprise, Center Parcs Europe, that operates in numerous locations in continental Europe.

There are now 26 resorts in the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Germany and the UK.
Accommodation in Center Parcs is in villas or bungalows. These are clustered in a park and surrounded by trees and bushes. See appendix 1 form details.
