Hotels near the St David's Spa

Do you fancy smearing mud and seaweed all over you for the sake of a crease-free complexion and consistent high spirits? Billed as the only hydrotherapy spa in the UK, the standard of pampering at the waterfront St David's Hotel and Spa is high - as is the chance to celeb spot.

With two marine hydropools, a 15-metre exercise pool, a gym, a poolside sanarium, jacuzzi and a number of treatment rooms (busy delivering a huge menu of E'SPA hydrotherapy and aromatherapy treatments), the spa in the stylish St David's Hotel is more than well equipped to make you feel very special.

The focus is on therapies derived from the sea. Hydrotherapy treatments use blended organic essential oils and water, enriched with minerals, sea salts and seaweed. The idea is that the salts in the water can draw out bodily impurities. In turn, while the pores open up, they abosorb minerals which are needed by the body. Simple really - but beautifully executed.

It's possible to pop in for a quick fix pamper from the beauty treatment agenda - but if you want a real indulgence, go for a residential package, depending on cash flow, of course.
