What Siblu does
Siblu is a privately held French holiday park operator founded in 1975 and headquartered in Pessac, France. The company owns and operates a network of over 20 four- and five-star camping villages across France and the Netherlands, concentrated in premium coastal, lakeside, and inland recreational geographies including the Atlantic Coast (North and South), Mediterranean coast, and rural regions of Brittany, Vendée, Normandie, and the Loire Valley. The core offering combines short-term vacation rentals of mobile homes and tent/pitch accommodations with a mobile home sales platform (mobilhome.siblu.fr), a Fun Pass bundled add-on covering aquatic facilities and children's clubs, and ancillary services such as cleaning, spa, bike rental, and on-site dining. Siblu serves families with children as its primary segment and also addresses individual mobile home buyers seeking investment or second-home ownership within Siblu campsites.
The business operates as a direct-to-consumer enterprise: customers book through five localized websites (siblu.fr, siblu.de, siblu.ie, siblu.nl, siblu.co.uk), the Siblu mobile application, the MySiblu client portal, or on-site reception. Revenue derives from three streams: holiday rental accommodations (recurring/seasonal), mobile home sales (one-time transactions typically €24,505-€39,524+ per unit plus annual pitch rental of approximately €7,982), and the Fun Pass plus optional services. Siblu differentiates through free children's clubs at all villages, free booking modifications, a plot-selection feature that lets customers choose their exact mobile home location on the campsite map, and a partnership with Floa enabling 3x and 4x interest-free installment payments. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, employs 101-250 staff, and operates under the Siblu Villages brand with backing from private equity investors including Hermes Private Equity (2017) and Tikehau Capital (2013).
