New resorts CORNWALL Una St Ives One of the most exciting new launches in the active holiday resorts has to be this £25 million development of a former caravan park above Carbis Bay. There are 30 self-catering eco-houses and Una Kitchen already open, with a further 55-bedroom apartment hotel and around 100 villas and luxurious lodges opening soon. From clifftop ambles and wild sea swimming, to night-sky sessions around the fire pit. Join a morning yoga class, paddle out to surf on Porthminster Beach and head to St Ives Bay for sea-to-fork fresh fish. ◆ unastives.co.uk SNOWDONIA Adventure Parc, Hilton Garden Inn Launching in tandem with the brand new Wave Garden Spa, the Hilton Garden Inn Snowdonia, surrounded by mountains, forests, and beautiful natural landscape, makes a family holiday to Adventure Parc even more enticing than ever before. The 106-bedroom hotel is the perfect place to check in and enjoy the surf lagoon and parc activities, including an outdoor adventure climbing centre, zip lines and freefalls, gorge walking, mountain biking, water sports and more. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the stylish bedrooms and Zephyr’s bar and grill make the most of the unique backdrop, and offer big views across the lagoon, where you can enjoy watching surfers catch rolling waves. Home to some of the biggest peaks in Wales, as well as a population of wild ponies there will never be a dull moment to be had here – and when you need some space to relax, indulge in solitude at the adjoining Wave Garden Spa. Think warm vitality waterfall pool, an iconic oversized Himalayan salt sauna, outdoor hot whirlpool, relaxation pods and fire pits. ◆ adventureparcsnowdonia.com 16 BritishTravelJournal.com
