With the release of the new Barbie movie this summer, we started thinking about what kind of cottages Barbie – and her ever-faithful Ken - would stay in on their next UK holiday.
The good news for our heroine – played by Margot Robbie in the film – is that our collection of holiday cottages contains some amazing pink properties which will tick all the boxes for a fun-filled getaway. Not only that, but we have holiday homes that might be of interest to the various Barbies which have been released over the years. From Mermaid Barbie to President Barbie, we’ve got dream holiday homes to suit their individual styles.
Read on to see which coastal, romantic, large and quirky cottages we’ve recommended, and click the button below to pick your own perfect property.

Trust your true self when booking your next holiday
Over the years, Barbie has had many guises; from Cowboy Barbie to Pastry Chef Barbie; she’s a busy gal who loves to live life to the full. This is equally true when she’s on holiday with her friends or on a cosy couple’s getaway with her beloved Ken.
So, if you’re like Mermaid Barbie and are looking for a chic, seaside stay or want to find a holiday cottage that will spark your creativity, just like Writer Barbie, then here are some suggestions for your next UK holiday. And if, like Ken, you’re looking for something near the coast so you can get in the water, we’ve also got you covered.
Our girl will officially always be 19 years of age, but 2023 marks her 64th ‘birthday’ so this collection of properties aims to include something for everyone: some are family-friendly, others are suited to group breaks, and others are perfect for two people.
