North Wales is a region of extraordinary beauty and contrast, dominated by Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park with its imposing peaks. It is renowned for its rich history, UNESCO World Heritage medieval castles, and a spectacular coastline. Here, luxury is combined with adventure and historical charm. Our historic hotels, boutique hotels, and luxury manors offer the perfect base to explore this land of legends.

Real Experience: Snowdonia and the Castles

The unmissable experience is the ascent (or the scenic railway) to Yr Wyddfa (Mount Snowdon), the highest peak in Wales. We recommend undertaking the hike with a private guide and relaxing after the effort with a luxurious massage in one of our hotels. Don't miss the UNESCO castles built by Edward I, particularly Conwy Castle and Caernarfon Castle, visiting them at sunset for breathtaking photographs. For sea lovers, Anglesey Island (Ynys Môn) offers tranquil beaches and the opportunity to visit the iconic South Stack Lighthouse.

• Historical Attractions: Castles of Beaumaris, Caernarfon, Conwy, and Harlech (UNESCO World Heritage).
• Adventure: Zip World (the fastest zipline in the world), Surf Snowdonia, rock climbing.
