There are parts of South Wales where the vibe feels unmistakably abroad. Landal Dylan Coastal Resort, perched above the Taf Estuary in Laugharne, is one of them. Lodges are designed to make the most of the view, with floor-to-ceiling glass, private south-facing hot tubs, and terraces looking out over an expansive seascape and the green hills that roll down to the water’s edge.
At the heart of the resort is Milk Wood House, a purpose-built retreat with a spa menu centred on organic ishga seaweed treatments inspired by the British coastline.
The infinity pool and outdoor hydrotherapy pool offer uninterrupted views across the River Taf, while the on-site Milk Wood Bar & Kitchen serves a seasonal menu, best enjoyed on one of three patios when dining outdoors feels non-negotiable.
With easy access to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, Tenby and Laugharne Castle, this is a self-contained staycation that suits both avid adventurers and easy-going explorers alike.

THE DUPE: \u200b Scandinavia-style serenity in Scotland

For golfers, Muirfield and several other championship links courses are within easy reach. For culture, Edinburgh is just 30 minutes away by train.
