A wild swimming spot in a stunning turquoise lagoon has been hailed as 'simply spectacular' as the UK is set to be hotter than Ibiza at the weekend, with highs of up to 32C11:08, 21 May 2026A beautiful blue lagoon offers the perfect chance to cool off as the UK is set to be hotter than Ibiza.‌The UK is set for a scorcher with some regions reaching a balmy 30C on Saturday, 23 May and 32C on Sunday, with the heatwave expected to continue into the following week. The sizzling UK heat will be hotter than Ibiza's Mediterranean climate, which will reach up to 23C and 24C over the weekend, undoubtedly prompting Brits to make the most of the Great British weather.‌The heatwave comes at the perfect time ahead of the May half-term and bank holiday weekend, with Brits already planning trips to their nearest beach, park and outdoor pools to lap up the rays.‌One serene swimming spot that could easily be mistaken for a Greek paradise, with its stunning turquoise waters, can be found in Pembrokeshire, Wales.READ MORE: Not Thorpe Park or Alton Towers - unlikely UK attraction named best for family days outREAD MORE: Beautiful beach is 'UK's answer to the Caribbean' with pristine shores and crystal-clear watersThe Blue Lagoon, also known as Abereiddy, is a beloved wild-swimming destination nestled in Abereiddi Bay, framed by dramatic, rugged rocks. The sheltered lagoon provides an ideal environment for refreshing dips during the warmer months, and its deep blue waters have made it a popular spot for cliff jumping from its rock ledges.‌Undeniably one of the most striking natural pools, the lagoon has been carved out of a former quarry, with remnants of its industrial heritage still visible. The quarry slate is believed to be responsible for the lagoon's distinct turquoise hue, which draws in visitors, and it was even named as one of the UK's finest wild swimming locations by The Telegraph.Following a visit in September last year, one Tripadvisor reviewer enthused: "What a wonder, a beach indeed a bay with breathtaking views, climbing the hill is simple and the view of the lagoon is simply spectacular. Not to be missed."A second visitor added: "A real surprise! A five-minute walk from the beautiful beach, this lagoon is different. It's in a stunning setting with gorgeous views. Green water, deep and clear, pretty cold! Places to jump in, but you need to know what you're doing! It's a slate quarry mixed with water, so skin and clothing mixed means you end up pretty grubby, but it's worth it! Memorable early evening experience."‌A third noted: "Much easier to view Blue Lagoon from Aberrieddy than walking from Porthgain unless you're more energetic than me. When we went in May, people were jumping from the top. Nice beach at Aberrieddy and ice creams."But Pembrokeshire isn't just known for its beautiful Blue Lagoon. It also offers ample stretches of sprawling golden-sand beaches, dramatic cliff scenery, and acres of rolling countryside to explore in the breathtaking landscapes of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.Article continues belowFor avid ramblers, there's the coastal walking trail spanning 186 miles, with the option to walk as much or as little as you like, soaking up the picturesque vistas on route. However, with the balmy rays hitting the UK, a refreshing dip in its turquoise lagoon and a day spent at the beach might just be the best way to spend the weekend or May half-term.Do you have a travel story to share?
