The Seventy Ninth Group, is to developer the Holy Island site, close to one of the UK’s most prestigious Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The Seventy Ninth Group, an asset management company, has purchased the Penrhos site on Holy Island, Anglesey, Wales, to develop what it calls “a sustainable, high-quality, family-friendly, leisure destination, that complements the natural environment and native wildlife.”

The 200-acre site will include 492 premium holiday lodges, aiming to establish Penrhos, Holy Island, as a UK holiday destination for thousands of visitors each year. The site will include a restaurant and leisure amenities, a swimming pool, spa, gym and sports pitches (youth cricket and football) and outdoor tennis courts, which will be accessible to local residents.

The group says it will work closely with local businesses and individuals, as part of its commitment to regenerate the local area.

Extensive measures have been included in the development plans with a strong focus on responsible development with over £1m pledged to local initiatives as part of the project. Local engagement sessions will also take place throughout the project’s development.

The site is currently estimated to complete in five years, with the first lodges due to be available to visitors from summer 2025.

Jake Webster, Seventy Ninth Group managing director, says: “We look forward to developing the site into a world-class holiday destination in conjunction with the local community, while ensuring we protect the environment for future generations. Our aim is to give families from the UK and visitors from all over the world a chance to experience what this fantastic area has to offer.”

And David Webster, Seventy Ninth Group chairman, adds: “The Penrhos site is our largest project to-date and embarking on such a significant development would not be possible without the support of our clients, customers and investors. We see tremendous opportunity in UK holiday lettings and have specifically sought acquisitions in this area, as part of our ever-expanding portfolio.”
