Sue Barker is making the most of her free time – and you can too!

I may have retired from broadcasting, but I feel busier than ever, with speaking engagements, events, writing and more. But sometimes, it’s nice to stop and take a breather. And when I do, the Holiday Property Bond is always my haven for relaxation.

As a Bondholder, I can choose to holiday at over 30 locations like these across the UK and Europe, and enjoy all the wonderful facilities and amenities they have to offer every time I go away.

To give you just one example, I’ve recently returned from El Pueblito de Alfaix, HPB’s southern Spanish site. This award-winning ‘little village’ feels like a timeless traditional Spanish hamlet, with Moorish-inspired architecture swathed in bougainvillea. The property I stayed in was just yards away from the length swimming pool, and had fabulous views of the Sierra Cabrera mountains to the north.

You could enjoy the same scenery very soon, simply by becoming a Bondholder with a payment from £5,000. This will buy you Holiday Points that you use to book a holiday and (here’s the beauty of HPB) your Holiday Points are reissued to you every year.

That means you can book another holiday in 2026, and the year after that, for the rest of your life. So you can probably see why I’m such a fan of HPB! Not only that, if there’s a Holiday Points revaluation, your entitlement will be adjusted, protecting your holiday booking power.

I should mention that every time I come away, I pay a non-profit user charge to cover things like cleaning, electricity and gardening.* But apart from that, you’re free to book a holiday and explore. HPB can even arrange all your travel for you.

Another thing I really like about HPB is the standard of facilities on-site – and the fact that they’re free to use during your stay. I’m a particular fan of the tennis courts at El Pueblito, as you might imagine, and I traded a few shots with Juan, the on-site tennis coach, during my last visit.

There’s always plenty laid on for Bondholders at the sites. On a recent visit to El Pueblito, I just missed out on a trip to the nearby Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, where you’ll see flamingos, purple herons, storks and much more. But I did take a ‘jeep safari’ into the Sierra Cabrera foothills and met some locals herding goats across the vast landscape. It was quite magical.

Being a Bondholder has transformed the way I holiday. I know that every time I step into an HPB property, everything will be just as I expect. That’s so important to me, as holidays used to come few and far between, so I wanted them to be perfect! If you’re thinking about whether to become a Bondholder, I’d urge you to do it as soon as possible. You’ll only regret not doing it sooner. Find out more about HPB today.

P.S. Before I became a Bondholder, I visited an HPB site near me to see the quality and facilities for myself. I’d recommend doing the same, as you’ll get a real feel for what you can expect.
