Wales gains new holiday village
A new £110 million resort featuring 355 lodges, cottages and studios is to open in Wales this summer.
Bluestone Village, set within 500 acres of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, will feature 186 lodges, 30 cottages and 17 studios when it opens in July with more to follow throughout the year.
On site facilities will include a health spa, pub, sports club, orienteering, cycle hire/trail, forest craft lessons, painting and photography classes, wine bar, three restaurants and shops.
Guests to Bluestone have exclusive sessions and fast track entry to an all weather water park called Blue Lagoon, a short walk away from the resort, which opens in June.
Blue Lagoon will feature flumes, bubble pools, a lazy river ride and what is claimed to be the UK’s largest indoor ‘boogie wave’.
The cost of holidays at Bluestone start at £921 for a week in a two-bedroom lodge or £1,690 staying in a luxurious six bedroom lodge on a self-catering basis.
The resort is the culmination of a 10 year project.
“Bluestone has set itself high standards in respect to green tourism and is conscious of its impact on the environment,” a spokeswoman said.
“Use of renewable energy, local suppliers and recycling is key to Bluestone’s values.
“Energy for the Blue Lagoon and Landsker Sports Club comes from an on-site Biomass plant, water in the lodges is solar-heated, the resort uses local produce to keep down the food miles and Bluestone makes every effort to preserve the local flora, fauna and wildlife.”
Using natural materials, the lodges have timber beams, vaulted ceilings, outside decking and views of the Preseli Mountains. The cottages and studios are more traditional in style and are located in the Bluestone village itself.
