The Vale Resort, Golf and spa resort in Vale of Glamorgan, Wales.
The Vale Resort is a golf and spa resort in the Vale of Glamorgan in Wales. The property spans around 650 acres and features 143 rooms, two golf courses, and various sports facilities.
The property started as a nine-hole golf course before being purchased by Leekes in 1994. By 1999, the site had been developed into a full resort with accommodation and multiple amenities.
This resort serves as a training base for the Welsh Rugby Union during major tournaments. The teams use the facilities regularly to prepare for international competitions.
