Two more hideaway cabins in Bala to open in coming days

Shacks has added two more cabins to its ‘wild luxury’ stays collection: Maia, opening on March 31, and Alula, opening on April 2.

Both Maia and Alula are nestled quietly on a hillside. Each cabin comes with books and board games for cosy indoor moments, along with a well-equipped kitchen stocked with essentials — including pots, pans, a mini fridge, olive oil, fresh coffee beans and loose-leaf tea.

Guests can also enjoy outdoor baths at both cabins, which are pet-friendly.

These additions follow the launch of a new cabin, Mira, described by Shacks as its most “spellbinding” stay yet.

A spokesperson for Shacks said: "The panoramic views are incredible."

Talking about Mira, the spokesperson said: "Like all Shacks stays, Mira is off-grid and intentionally pared back, encouraging guests to reconnect with the sensory pleasures of the natural world - the warmth of the fire, the scent of rain on timber, the quiet satisfaction of slowing down.

Shacks aims to design simple, sustainable spaces that reconnect people with the outdoors. The company works with landowners across the UK to develop off-grid accommodation in rural locations.

The company, backed by Clive Sykes, founder of Sykes Cottages, says its ‘wild luxury stays’ are designed with “wonder in mind.”
