Holiday Homes

Modular Holiday Homes Ireland

Holiday pods, luxury glamping pods, Airbnb pods and holiday-park accommodation for Ireland's tourism sector — factory-built, insulated and durable.

From a single pod on a private site to an entire accommodation village for a holiday park, New Chapter Homes builds tourism accommodation that lasts.

What Are Modular Holiday Homes?

A modular holiday home is a permanent, comfortable, factory-built second home or tourism unit — a genuine building rather than a mobile home or caravan. Delivered and installed on your land, a holiday pod or capsule gives guests year-round comfort, a fitted kitchen and bathroom, and a premium experience.

For tourism operators, multiple units can form an entire accommodation village — a scalable, durable, high-margin alternative to tents and mobile homes.

Types of Holiday Accommodation

  • Holiday pods — compact, self-contained units for a holiday park or private site.
  • Glamping pods — a premium, year-round alternative to canvas glamping.
  • Luxury glamping pods — high-end finishes, full glazing and fitted interiors.
  • Airbnb pods — self-contained rental units for short-stay income.
  • Holiday-park pods — repeatable units that scale a park's accommodation offering.
  • Capsule accommodation — distinctive, design-led units that stand out in marketing. See our holiday capsules.

Holiday Pods vs Mobile Homes

A modular holiday pod is a permanent, insulated building — far more durable, valuable and comfortable than a mobile home or caravan, and a permanent dwelling. For an operator, that means a longer asset life, higher nightly rates, and a better guest experience.

Build an Accommodation Village

Multiple New Chapter units can form an entire accommodation village — a scalable tourism product for holiday parks, farm diversification and eco-tourism. Deploy a handful of pods to test demand, then expand as bookings grow. See our holiday capsules and display village.

Rental Income & Airbnb

A self-contained holiday pod is a strong short-stay rental product. On a private site, a single pod can generate meaningful Airbnb income; on a park, a row of pods scales that into a business. See our finance options and finance calculator.

Planning for Tourism Accommodation

Tourism accommodation generally requires planning permission and may involve a tourist-use change of use, particularly in scenic or coastal areas with stricter rules. We advise on your local authority's approach to tourism and glamping development. See our planning guide.
