The ABI Balmoral is a premium holiday caravan that delivers luxury living with an impressive specification included as standard.
ABI has been part of the UK leisure vehicle industry for more than 55 years. Formed through the merger of Ace Caravans and Belmont Caravans, the company has evolved into one of the leading manufacturers of static caravans and holiday lodges. Since moving away from touring caravan production in the early 2000s, ABI has focused solely on the holiday caravan market, strengthening its position further through the acquisition of Retreat Homes, a specialist luxury lodge manufacturer.
Launched at the Haydock Holiday Caravan Show, the 2026 ABI Balmoral quickly caught the attention of both static caravan home buyers and park operators looking for a high-specification holiday caravan that offers a premium feel without an eye-watering price tag.
Exterior
The ABI Balmoral sits on a galvanised chassis and features stylish grey uPVC cladding, complemented by double-glazed uPVC windows throughout. Large front patio doors create an inviting entrance and help flood the living area with natural light.
Buyers can also opt for a full residential specification package, making the Balmoral suitable for year-round use where site rules permit.
Lounge
Stepping inside, the Balmoral showcases the contemporary styling that ABI is known for. The spacious front lounge feels warm, welcoming and exceptionally comfortable.
Two generously sized sofas provide plenty of seating space, with one converting into a sofa bed for occasional guests. An upholstered footstool adds an extra touch of luxury, while a stylish media unit incorporates an electric fire and television space.
The result is a relaxing and homely living area that’s ideal for unwinding after a day exploring the local area.
Kitchen and dining area
The open-plan kitchen and dining space continues the premium feel. The dining area features a freestanding table and four upholstered chairs, creating a practical space for family meals.
The kitchen is arranged across two sections. One side houses an American-style fridge freezer alongside useful cupboard storage and extra worktop space.
The main food preparation area includes an integrated microwave, electric oven and a separate five-burner gas hob with extractor fan above. A built-in dishwasher comes as standard, while space is provided for an optional washing machine.
Storage throughout is excellent and the wood-effect finishes help create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere.
The only minor criticism is that worktop space may feel a little limited for those who enjoy preparing elaborate meals.
Family shower room
Located toward the back of the holiday caravan, the main shower room is spacious and stylish. A large walk-in shower sits alongside the toilet, while shelving and cupboard storage provide ample room for toiletries and essentials.
The attractive blue tile-effect wall finish adds character and complements the overall décor beautifully. A large window allows plenty of natural light into the room, enhancing the feeling of space.
Twin bedroom
Opposite the shower room is the twin bedroom, which is finished to a high standard.
Full-sized single beds make it suitable for adults as well as children, while blue upholstered headboards, a central wall mirror and attractive pendant lighting create a boutique-hotel feel.
A corner wardrobe and integrated drawer unit provide useful storage without compromising floor space.
Master bedroom
The standout feature of the ABI Balmoral is undoubtedly the master bedroom. This luxurious retreat features a king-size lift-up bed with a pocket-sprung mattress, providing excellent comfort and extra storage beneath.
A comfortable armchair adds to the sense of luxury, while a large side window fills the room with natural light.
The blue colour palette continues here, complemented by a large padded headboard and a stylish dressing table complete with two drawers, shelving and a large mirror.
A wall-mounted radiator makes sure the room remains cosy throughout the year.
Ensuite bathroom
The master bedroom benefits from a beautifully appointed ensuite bathroom that mirrors the attractive styling found in the main shower room.
A freestanding sink sits atop a spacious vanity unit, offering storage, while a large window helps keep the room bright and airy. Unusually for a static caravan, the ensuite also includes a bath with a handheld shower attachment. While the bath isn’t particularly large, it remains a welcome feature that many buyers will appreciate.
Verdict: ABI has built a strong reputation for producing some of the most stylish holiday caravans and lodges available, and the Balmoral is no exception. From its elegant interior design to its high-quality furnishings and impressive specification, it delivers a genuine sense of luxury throughout.
The spacious lounge, premium kitchen and exceptional master suite are particular highlights, while the option of a residential specification further enhances its appeal.
For families seeking a well-built, comfortable and stylish holiday caravan that should provide many years of enjoyment, the ABI Balmoral is a highly attractive option.
