Wales is a holiday destination with everything, from awe-inspiring mountains and still mirrored lakes to gorgeous green countryside and beautiful beaches. Nestled deep within the foothills of Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales is Snowdonia Holiday Park, a 5-star holiday resort with mountain-views and a lake. Offering a range of luxury lodges with private hot tubs or spacious, contemporary caravans with pet-friendly options available, this is a first-class holiday resort and spa with so much going on, with excellent customer service in a stylish setting.

Leisure 

Snowdonia Holiday Park offers a restful and relaxing retreat from the rest of the world. For ultimate relaxation, the park boasts a large heated indoor swimming pool with a separate hydrotherapy pool, Scandinavian Pine Sauna, tepidarium and steam room. There is also a beauty lounge offering spa treatments, including massages, facials, body treatments and hydrotherapy. For guests who like to stay active, there’s a state-of-the-art gym and plenty of parkland for walks and the magnificent Snowdonia National Park to explore nearby plus the Isle of Anglesey for beaches and water sports. 

Eateries

The two restaurants on-site are particularly attractive and comfortable with a good choice of delicious food, including vegetarian options. The Old Boat House Italian Bistro offers superb views across the still lake while the Country Club restaurant and bar puts on entertainment in the form of live music, comedy and events.

Accommodation

This is a fantastic resort for couples, families with young children and teenagers, dog-owners and solo travellers as well as accessible accommodation for guests with mobility issues. It’s an ideal choice for groups holidaying together but wanting to stay in separate but adjacent or nearby accommodation. 

Family

For families with children, there is an outdoor children’s play area and an indoor soft play for younger children plus a whole range of activities during the summer break, including archery, raft building and water zorbing! For anyone who loves climbing there’s a sports hall on site with a climbing wall and if racquet sports are more your style, there are tennis and badminton courts.

Attractions

1. Snowdonia National Park is a stunning and diverse natural landscape covering over 800 square metres of mountains, hills and lakes. Take the mountain footpath up Snowdon, which can take a few hours (around 3-4 hours to go up and come back down for a person with mid-level fitness) or take the more leisurely train which takes 1 hour in total (30 minutes to go up and 30 minutes to come back down again).

2. Portmeirion is a magical and uniquely designed picturesque village on the coast at Gwynedd surrounded by woodland and quirky and unusual gardens and architectural sculptures and curiosities. Built in the Italian style in the 1920s, it is a pretty place to stroll leisurely around or take the marked walking trail, and provides an interesting backdrop with a giant chess board for amazing photo opportunities. Portmeirion was the filming location of the surreal 1960s spy drama, The Prisoner and the gift shop is filled with souvenirs. Around 40 minutes from Snowdonia Holiday Park, take a picnic if the weather is fine or eat at the café there and don’t miss the beach.

3. The Isle of Anglesey is a beautiful island surrounded by 125 miles of coastline and Blue Flag beaches just 30 minutes from Snowdonia Holiday Park. Cross the Menai Suspension Bridge to reach the island where water sports enthusiasts can enjoy activities from sailing and surfing to kayaking and coasteering.

4. Caenarfon Castle is an impressive riverside medieval fortress palace, just 10 minutes from Snowdonia Holiday Park. Discover the history of the castle that is considered to be one of the greatest buildings of the Middle Ages as you explore its towers and statues and spend a day in the royal town of Caenarfon for lunch and souvenir shopping. 

5. Zip World is a must-visit place for lovers of adrenaline sports and there are three locations near to Snowdonia Holiday Park offering a choice of different adventures. Ride Velocity 2 for an aerial adrenaline rush on the 500ft-high fastest zip line in the world at Bethesda, just 15 minutes away from Snowdonia Holiday Park. For underground fun adventure caving, visit Slate Caverns in Ffestiniog, which is around 45 minutes from the park. And for an exhilarating high-speed ride through the trees, don’t miss the Fforest rollercoaster in Conwy, around 30 minutes away, where Conwy Castle is also well worth a visit.
