Features

The subtropical waterpark features a beach-style large swimming pool with a wave machine, spa pools, river rapids ride, two water flumes, an "easy-going" lazy river that takes you outside, a pirates’ shipwreck and a separate wet play area for children in the water cove.[2][5][6][7]

Blue Lagoon Water Park building is 90m long by 40m wide.

Blue Lagoon is only available for residents of Bluestone Resort who have "unlimited access".[8]

The waterpark is heated with locally-sourced biomass.[9] In 2022, it was rated "excellent" by the Royal Life Saving Society UK.[10][11]

The park was closed for over a year during the COVID-19 pandemic in Wales, re-opening to only residents of Bluestone resort in April 2021, by April 2022 the water park had retained the exclusive policy. The move was criticised by locals.[4][12]

Swimming lessons and seasonal pool parties are also hosted at the waterpark.[2][13]

Construction

The roof structure is constructed of timber frame, covered in wood tiles and two layers of transparent plastic and shaped like an upturned Cleddau coracle.
