St Brides Spa Hotel
This contemporary spa hotel is all about the location. Set on a headland, overlooking Carmarthen Bay, its treatments also take inspiration from the surrounding territory, with marine-based products such as seaweed, mud and clay all part of the appeal. Another big attraction is a spectacular inside-outside pool, but it's closed for refurbishment until the end of January so best wait until then if you want to make the most of a visit.
