Bodysgallen Hall & Spa, Llandudno

Llandudno has long been a popular destination for British holidaymakers, but if you want to escape the summer crowds you should consider staying at Bodysgallen Hall & Spa.

You can enjoy wonderful views of the Snowdonia mountain range during your stay, as well as a plethora of treatments and facilities at the Bodysgallen Spa. Regularly ranked among the UK's best, the spa has a whirlpool bath, swimming pool, steam room, gym and sauna.

Treat yourself to the Serenity Face & Body programme for all-over pampering, or opt for an extra relaxing hot stone massage using ingredients such as frankincense, camomile, rose and myrrh. Alternatively, you could focus exclusively on the face with a facial tailored to your skin type, or beautify your nails with a manicure or pedicure (or both!).

St David's Hotel & Spa, Cardiff

This hotel is the perfect place to stay if you want to combine relaxation with a spot of sightseeing in one of the most vibrant cities in the UK. Occupying a spectacular waterfront location in Cardiff Bay, St David's Hotel & Spa is home to the award-winning Marine Spa, where you can try specialist treatments utilising active ingredients from the sea.

These include a micronized algae facial, a body wrap using sea mud and essential oils, and an ultra-exfoliation treatment that incorporates natural sea salts. Holistic services, such as reflexology and head massages, are also available. All of the treatments on offer are just as suitable for men as for women, but males can also enjoy specialist massages designed for their skin type.

Hairdressing services are available if you want to thoroughly spoil yourself, while the onsite Tempus at Tides Restaurant & Bar offers the perfect way to round off your day, especially on a Friday or Saturday, when the venue puts on chill-out nights. Visit in the summer and you can also enjoy alfresco dining on the terrace – now what could be more romantic than that?
