1. Surf’s up
A major new opening in North Wales is the hotel and spa at Adventure Parc Snowdonia, an artificial surf reef and activity centre in the Conwy Valley. The hotel has rooms overlooking the inland surf lagoon while the accompanying Wave Garden Spa offers treatments and a wellness space. Customers have access to existing Parc activities, such as the Adrenaline Indoors centre, at extra cost, but new freshwater swimming sessions on the reef are free to hotel guests. The medieval walled town of Conwy is a short drive for local exploring.
