Reckon you've done the Lake District? Ticked off foodie weekends in Cork and Galway. Gone off-grid in the Scottish Highlands and spent all your savings in bougie Cotswold farm shops? Chances are, weekends in Wales may have slipped through the net. Until now.
Thanks to the opening of stylish new hotels and innovative glamping spots heartwarming enough to counter the famous Welsh drizzle, there's never been a better time to visit. Explore Pembrokeshire's golden beaches, enjoy fine dining in Anglesey or cross paths with wild animals in the Brecon Beacons.

Pembrokeshire
Fforest is a rural regeneration project on steroids, far cooler than any you learned about in GCSE geography, and enticing enough to tempt even the most staunch city dwellers to deepest Wales. What started out as a farm renovation by a couple of Shoreditch property developers sick of city life grew organically into a chic collection of garden cabins, holiday cottages, yurts and domes. Owners Sian Tucker and James Lynch then moved to Penbryn Beach to restore a Georgian farmhouse. The Albion in Cardigan is their newest opening. A disused warehouse in the town centre is reimagined as five self-catered apartments overlooking the canal.

Snowdonia National Park
Three newly opened tipis on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park are perhaps the least rustic camping spots you're likely to stumble upon in the Welsh countryside: think underfloor heating, king-size beds, handmade oak furniture and fluffy bath robes for when you step out of the hot tub. Each tipi sleeps two, and they can be hired as a group for gatherings with friends. On your doorstep, bird sanctuaries, coastal walks and local yoga classes await. Don't miss a visit to the Michelin-starred Ynyshir restaurant too, where chef and co-owner Gareth Ward and his partner Amelia Eiriksson celebrate fatty meats, fermentation and Wales-meets-Scandi decor.
