Our beautiful island has, according to the latest Rightmove Happy at Home Index, earned the number one spot in Wales and a remarkable 19th spot in the UK for 2025. But what exactly is making everyone so cheerful? Here is why Ynys MĂ´n is currently the place to be: 1\. Nature is the Best Neighbour The survey revealed a trend showing that people living near the sea or in the countryside are much happier. Anglesey, being an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, boasts beaches that are among the best in the world, offering a "spiritual energy" that can be very hard to find in the city. 2\. A Community That Cares It’s not just about the views; it’s about the people. Residents praised the island's strong sense of belonging and the welcoming atmosphere of its villages. Whether it’s a local gala or just a chat at the post office, the human connection here is a major happiness booster. 3\. The Best of Both Worlds Whilst Anglesey has a reputation for being a peaceful retreat, a “getaway” destination, it is by no means isolated. Residents pointed out that they are rarely more than 20 minutes away from any service they need. While the fact that it is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty serves as the backdrop, it is the reality of quality of life, exemplified by low stress rates, safe communities, and a strong sense of place, which has earned it the number one spot. For those considering moving to a new area, Anglesey represents an opportunity to live in one of the best destinations in the UK where your environment can play an active role in your happiness and satisfaction with your life. ![Welsh patron saint of lovers](https://www.celticos.com/img/asset/YXNzZXRzL2ZlYXR1cmVkLWltYWdlcy9sbGFuZGR3eW4taXNsYW5kXzEuanBn/llanddwyn-island_1.jpg?w=748&h=994&fm=webp&fit=crop&q=60&s=156204bb97ec5740373ae175bc7fc947) Welsh patron saint of lovers ## Ready to start planning your perfect tour of Wales? ### How it works 1.
