Leisure and Activities

Guests can test their nerve journeying through a mountain via a series of exciting adventurous challenges on one of three epic underground adventures.

Location & Transport

Olif is located in Betws-y-Coed, in the heart of Snowdonia, near the Royal Oak. Olif is 65 km from RAF Valley - Anglesey. Landmarks nearby include Fairy Glen (2.5 km), St Michael's Church (0.5 km), Swallow Falls (3 km), Sappers Suspension Bridge (0.5 km), and Conwy Valley Railway Museum & Model Shop (0.5 km). Bistro Betws-y-Coed is 0.3 km away. Gwydyr Forest is 2 km away, and Waterloo Bridge is 1.5 km away. The Snowdon Sherpa bus, which allows you to hop on and off the Snowdon Sherpa network all day, travels to-and-from Betws Y Coed and takes you to Snowdon as well as other beauty spots across Snowdonia.

Welsh products

The bar is fully stocked with products from Wales. Halen Môn Jin Môr 25ml includes classic botanicals enhanced by a pinch of Halen Mon Sea Salt with aromas of beach pine and juniper. The abundant tropical hops burst through the malt base of this alcohol-free beer with blasts of passion fruit, stone fruit, and citrus. All dairy products include yoghurts from Llaeth Y Llan in Llanefydd, and milk, cream, and butter from South Caernarfonshire Dairies. Chantler Teas is run by a husband and wife team, Elizabeth and Barry Chantler, who blend their specialist ethically sourced loose leaf teas at their home in Pembrokeshire. Tregroes Waffles are made in a co-operative bakery in the hills of the Teifi Valley. Blodyn Aur adds a rich golden color to food. Guests may choose single malt whisky with a shot of coffee, topped with South Caernarfon cream.

“This adults-only boutique hotel is a real find, especially appealing for its unique Spanish-Welsh culinary fusion and prime location near Snowdonia's adventures; I imagine the individually designed rooms offer a tranquil escape. It strikes me as a place where the locally sourced elements create a particularly intimate and lively atmosphere. I'd recommend it for anyone seeking a blend of relaxation and adventure.”
