A spa is undergoing a £100,000 refurbishment.
Vale Resort in Hensol is celebrating its 25th anniversary by investing a six-figure sum into the Vale Spa.
The renovation project is set to be completed by spring 2025.
Plans include refurbishing all treatment rooms, creating new relaxation spaces, and introducing a 'fire and ice experience.'
So far, eight treatment rooms have already been transformed as part of phase one.
These rooms now have a 'totally new and relaxing look and feel, using neutral tones and gold accents to achieve a peaceful and contemporary environment in which guests can totally unwind.'
Future phases will see the remaining treatment rooms refurbished, the current sleep zone moved to a more relaxing part of the spa, and the addition of the fire and ice experience, which will include ice machines and a sauna.
More relaxation rooms will be created, including one with a balcony overlooking the swimming pool.
The entrance space and waiting area will also be updated.
Some treatment rooms may be combined to create larger rooms for groups and parties.
At least one of the new relaxation rooms will be available for exclusive hire by groups and parties.
Debbie Searle, spa manager, said: "We don’t take for granted that we’ve won Best Resort Spa seven years running, but we’re incredibly thrilled to be investing heavily into improving the spa even further and enhancing the experience that we already offer our guests.
"Phase One has already proven to be very popular with our guests and we’re excited to roll out additional phases with the aim of completing the work by spring next year."
The Vale Spa has won numerous industry awards over the years, including Best Resort Spa for seven consecutive years (2017-2023) at the World Travel Awards.
