Why Choose Wales for a Hot Tub Break?
Wales is a land defined by its three stunning National Parks. From the soaring mountains of Snowdonia and the rolling hills of the Brecon Beacons to the world-class Pembrokeshire Coast, these unique landscapes provide an incredible blend of adventure and tranquillity.
You can spend your days hiking, mountain biking, or ziplining, and your evenings relaxing in the warm, soothing waters of your hot tub, surrounded by epic scenery.
Explore the Dramatic North
Dominated by the mountains of Snowdonia National Park, North Wales is a true adventure playground. This region is a land of superlatives, home to the highest peak in Wales (Yr Wyddfa), the fastest zipline in the world, and historic castles like Conwy and Caernarfon.
A hot tub lodge here is the perfect base for adrenaline-fuelled days and stargazing nights. Explore our hot tub holidays in North Wales.
Discover the Coastal South
South Wales is best known for its world-renowned coastline, including the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, as well as the rolling hills of the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog).
It's the perfect choice for family beach holidays and breathtaking coastal walks. Explore our hot tub breaks in South Wales.
Romantic Retreats for Two
With its secluded valleys, cosy traditional cottages (or 'bwthyn'), and magnificent sunsets, Wales is an incredibly romantic destination. A hot tub stay provides that extra layer of luxury, offering a private, intimate space to relax and reconnect with your partner after a day of exploring.
Dog-Friendly Adventures
Wales is a paradise for visitors with dogs, and our property collection reflects that. The country is crisscrossed with endless public footpaths, from the 870-mile Wales Coast Path to the trails of the National Parks.
Many of our properties are pet-friendly, offering the perfect base for you and your four-legged friend.
Top Things to See and Do Across Wales
- Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon): Whether you hike one of the six main paths or take the historic mountain railway, reaching the summit of the highest peak in Wales is an unforgettable experience.
- Walk the Pembrokeshire Coast Path: This 186-mile National Trail offers some of the most breathtaking coastal scenery in the world, with rugged cliffs, hidden coves, and golden beaches.
- Explore the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog): Discover a landscape of rolling hills, dramatic waterfalls, and wide-open moorlands. It's also an International Dark Sky Reserve, perfect for stargazing.
- Visit a Great Castle: You're never far from a castle in Wales. Be inspired by the medieval might of Conwy Castle in the north or the romantic ruins of Carreg Cennen in the south.
- Discover Portmeirion: Step into a fantasy world in this unique Italian Riviera-inspired village in North Wales, famous for its colourful architecture, beautiful gardens, and estuary views.
Planning Your Welsh Hot Tub Holiday
The Best Time to Visit
Wales is a fantastic year-round destination. Summer (June-August) offers the warmest weather, perfect for beach holidays and enjoying the lively atmosphere in coastal towns.
Spring (April-May) and Autumn (September-October) are ideal for walkers, with milder temperatures, fewer crowds, and stunning seasonal colours.
A winter break offers the chance to find a cosy cottage with a hot tub, perfect for relaxing after a brisk walk on a dramatic, windswept beach.
How Long to Stay: Weekends vs. Week-Long Breaks
A short break of 3-4 nights is perfect if you want to focus on one specific area, such as a city break in Cardiff, exploring Tenby, or hiking in Snowdonia.
However, to truly appreciate the diversity of Wales, we recommend a week-long stay. This gives you time to explore a whole region, like the Pembrokeshire coast or the North Wales castles, without feeling rushed.
Getting There and Around Wales
Most visitors drive to Wales, which offers the most flexibility for exploring. The M4 motorway provides easy access to South Wales (Cardiff, Brecon Beacons, Pembrokeshire), while the A55 is the main expressway across North Wales (to Conwy, Snowdonia, and Anglesey).
There are also scenic train routes, but to get to the more remote lodges and hidden gems, a car is highly recommended.

What's the difference between North Wales and South Wales?
