Hafan y Môr is a caravan park containing an indoor water park located in Pwllheli, Gwynedd, Wales, UK. The site originally traded as a Butlin's holiday camp that contained a small amusement park, and originally opened up as Butlin's Pwllheli in 1947.

History

As part of a major expansion for the Butlin's chain, Rank moved the business of Starcoast World and Wonderwest World over to their Haven Holidays division, and reopened the venue as Hafan y Môr in 1999, replacing the chalet accommodation with static caravans. The amusement park did not make it over to the refurbished venue.

The pool area was revamped as Splash Away Bay for the 2017 season. The refurbished pool area contained three new flume slides and a wide slide.[1]
