A Seaside Pool Overlooking Clarach Bay in North Wales

Allens Caravans, a leading UK caravans operator, recently launched Aber Bay Holiday Park, nestled in the picturesque Clarach Bay coastline in North Wales. The Park’s brand-new complex boasts a spectacular indoor leisure experience featuring a state-of-the-art swimming pool.  

Worcestershire-based Nick Carroll Architects appointed Buckingham Pools to Design and Build family-friendly facilities. The onsite facilities, now completed to a high standard, comprise a freeboard 152 square metre swimming pool integrated with a 29.8 square metre splash pad. Whilst the owners aspired to weatherproof holidaymakers’ leisure experience, our pool’s uncompromised design echoes the distinctive triangular shape of the space to continue the immersive 360° setting. Finished in shimmer mosaics with contrasting demarcation lines adds character to the pool scene in conjunction with stainless steel skimmers. The bespoke stretched ceiling with LED strip lights further enhances the freeform pool achieving a stylish finish. On the other hand, the splash pool is finished in high-grade Rubaroc for children’s safety, whilst specialist water jets accentuate the playful ambience. In our commitment to ensure longevity, the plant room incorporates two top-of-the-range 1800l filters and an easy-to-maintain Cupro-Nickel Bowman Heat Exchanger. 

Our Contracts Manager, Richard James, notes, “building the unusual bespoke-shaped pool was challenging compared to a traditional pool. Several angles, corners and curvatures impacted our workload and required continuous attention to detail to achieve the immaculate finish. We were supplied with heat from a Water Source Heat Pump (WSHP) through the stream fed by the sea. Although this delayed the programme, we managed to fill the pool and heat the water in just a few days. Further, the lengthy Wales-bound journey from our head office often faced snow, which proved problematic for construction works during winter. However, with our team’s resilience and the approachable main contractors DJC, it was a successful build, and the results reached approving comments from the client.”

Ultimately, whilst enjoying uninterrupted sea views from the main pool on the ground floor, the complex offers panoramic views of Aberystwyth from atop, making Aber Bay the sought-after Holiday Park in Wales. Buckingham Pools are thrilled to have added lasting value to the development of clubhouse facilities and predict this Holiday Park will be Wales’s next trending attraction for families.
