If you’re searching for unforgettable experiences in West Wales, The Blue Lagoon in Pembrokeshire is an absolute must—and it’s within reach when staying at Flambards Hotel. Nestled near Abereiddy, this dramatic, emerald-blue pool is unlike anywhere else in the UK.
Once a slate quarry, The Blue Lagoon is now a striking natural amphitheatre filled with seawater. Towering cliffs surround the lagoon, giving it a remote, almost cinematic quality. It’s one of the most iconic wild swimming and coasteering spots in Wales, drawing adventurers, photographers, and families alike.
What makes it so special? That vivid turquoise colour is entirely natural—caused by the mineral-rich slate reflecting in the sunlight. Whether you’re jumping in for a wild swim, exploring the cliff-top trails, or simply sitting back to admire the view, The Blue Lagoon offers something for everyone. It has also hosted the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, proving it’s not just beautiful, but thrilling too.
Many visitors pair their trip to The Blue Lagoon with a walk along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, where panoramic views of the coastline stretch for miles.
After a day of sea air and exploration, retreat to the peaceful comfort of Flambards Hotel. With spacious rooms, warm hospitality, and a central location near Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire, it’s the ideal base for your Welsh coastal adventure.
