What really sets Arcadia Waters apart from an ordinary retirement village is the genuine community spirit enjoyed by residents. Visit any Arcadia Waters Lifestyle Resort and you will be greeted by the happy, smiling faces of people who really enjoy living life to the full.

Whether you want to develop your artistic skills or a hobby, build something in the workshop, enjoy a few ends of bowls, keep fit with water aerobics or a work-out in the gym, or simply relax over a game of cards or a game of pool in the snooker room, you'll find that there’s never a dull moment at Arcadia Waters.

That’s because at Arcadia Waters we share the values of our residents. We encourage their freedom and independence, but at the same time we provide them with an environment that is designed to stimulate communication and social interaction - on their terms.

Our Village Managers live in our villages as part of the community. We believe that this helps to foster our philosophy and deliver an accurate expression of the word community.
