This relaxed hotel has direct access to the sand, sea-view rooms, a modern spa and an easygoing restaurant overlooking the coast
WHY HERE?
The Beaches Hotel & Spa sits directly on Barkby Beach in Prestatyn, making it one of the few hotels in north Wales where you can walk out onto the sand in just a few short steps. The setting is simple yet impressive, with uninterrupted views across the Irish Sea and plenty of space to enjoy long coastal walks without needing to drive anywhere.
The relaxed atmosphere at The Beaches works well for couples, families and anyone seeking an affordable seaside break. Many of the rooms face the sea and, thanks to the sunsets and changing weather, the coastline takes centre stage throughout the day.
SPA AND WELLNESS
The facilities in the spa include a heated indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room, spa bath and relaxation area. Available treatments include massages, facials and body therapies, with a range of options available for both short stays and spa weekends. One of the most enjoyable aspects of staying here is being able to head straight out onto the promenade or beach immediately after using the spa, for fresh air and a walk.
HOW’S THE LOCATION?
Prestatyn is a good base for exploring the north Wales coast. The hotel is close to the North Wales Coast Path and also marks the start or finish point of the Offa’s Dyke Path National Trail.
HOW’S THE FOOD?
The Promenade Bistro overlooks the beach, with large windows making the sea view part of the experience. It serves classic breakfast dishes, light lunches and elegant evening meals. The menus focus on tasty, familiar crowd-pleasers, including seafood, burgers, steaks and seasonal specials. There is also outdoor seating for warmer days.
WHAT WILL IT COST?
Rooms start from around £99 per night, including breakfast and use of the swimming pool and spa, but the price may vary according to the season. Sea-view rooms and spa packages cost extra.
