At one with nature
The spas of Sweden dot the beautiful wilderness of the north, to the sandy coastline of the south and across the country from the dazzling west coast to the archipelagos that fan out from the east coast.
The spas of Sweden are waiting for you to discover them in glittering, sunny archipelagos, in the Swedish mountains and beside deep blue lakes fringed by birch and pine forest. Even in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö you are never far from nature.
At one with nature
Part of the Swedish spa hotel tradition is a oneness with nature and concern for the natural environment; as well as enjoying the energising atmosphere and treatments on offer in the spa hotels of Sweden, you can also enjoy nature’s own soothing influence all year-round; the almost constant daylight of the Swedish summer at spa hotels on the cliffs of the Bohuslän coast and the blaze of colours that mark autumn at Selma Spa overlooking the Fryken valley. You can celebrate the arrival of springtime at Dalecarlia Spa and on crisp, clear snow-clad winter days, you can luxuriate in the outdoor rock pools at Yasuragi Hasseludden.
Spa hotel essentials
Swedish spa hotels focus on the four essentials of; movement, rest, nutrition and touch. The ‘movement’ part of this creed involves some form of physical exercise and the nutrition part refers mainly to the food on offer. Whichever spa hotel you choose you can guarantee a comfortable stay, delicious, nutritious meals and a wide variety of spa facilities and treatments. As regards a stay at a Swedish spa hotel there are many options; there are manor house stays in historic surroundings, ultra modern hotel accommodation, as well as purpose-built spa resorts with other activities such as golf, horse-riding and many others.
At a Swedish spa hotel you can expect high standards throughout, quality service, and delicious, nutritional Swedish and continental cuisine made from local produce. All against the unique setting of Sweden’s stunning natural scenery, or in one of our major cities.
Enjoy.
