St Brides Spa Hotel

"Perched on a headland overlooking Camarthen Bay on one of Britain’s most spectacular stretches of coastline, St Brides has the vibe of a US retreat, what with the infinity pool on the edge of the cliff, funky restaurant terrace and airy shutters on the beach-style rooms (it’s only the temperamental Welsh weather that gives the game away!). Sea view rooms with a balcony are the best option, but the majority have beach, coastline or harbour views, so you’re not going to be complaining if you don’t get the best room in the house. Along with a fabulous Cliff restaurant (the red king crab legs are SO good) is an award-winning spa and art gallery."

"Pembrokeshire boasts some of Wales’ best surfing beaches at the St Brides Spa the Hotel team can help point your board in the right direction. Enjoy panoramic views of the surf from the hotel terrace then arrange surfing or windsurfing lessons either at The Hire Hut in Saundersfoot, a short walk from the harbour car park, or through West Wales Wind, Surf and Sailing, Dale Pembrokeshire. If you fancy a day away from the surf, what about a sailing trip with Sea Cruises Tenby."

"If there’s an accolade for a spa that successfully brings the beauty of the great outdoors in, St Brides Spa Hotel, whose iconic infinity pool yields jaw dropping vistas across Carmarthen Bay, wins hands down. Sitting in this scenic spot, which forms part of Britain’s only coastal national park, St Brides spa exploits its surroundings by creating a marine-inspired healing experience. Dive into the special Ocean Experiences by Italian beauty line Comfort Zone, using nourishing ingredients like hot sea mud and healing thermal waters, or peruse the Marine menu, which includes Voya therapies; their Pure Organic Peppermint & Seaweed Sugar Glow and Draining & Detoxifying Seaweed Leaf Wrap are divine, harnessing seaweed sourced ethically from the coast of Ireland. Get the most out of your seaside stay with St Brides’ Castaway Day Escapes, featuring treatments and full use of the thermal bathing pools, rooms (the rock sauna and herbal steam room are lush) and top notch facilities."
