WHY STAY

Arctic Bath is a floating wellness experience, built on Sweden’s Lule River and surrounded by the taiga forest of the Scandinavian north. Designed by architects Bertil Harström and Johan Kauppi, the unique circular structure was built with pine logs, and inspired by the historical timber industry as a reminder of the important role forests play in Sweden.

The hotel’s 12 rooms on the river’s edge echo the surrounding landscape - whether it’s the floating water cabins or the land suites. The minimalist Nordic design of natural sustainable wood, stone floors, and reindeer skins create the perfect hygge atmosphere you have come to expect. Floating passages, glass walls, and sky-gazing decks ensure the elements are at the forefront while leaving a minimal environmental footprint behind.

Take part in the ultimate hot and cold water therapy. Enjoy the outdoor ice bath filled with river water, three different saunas, and a hot tub. Arctic Bath leads one to discover the authentic Scandinavian north, and a one-of-kind wellness experience worth the journey.

WHY WANDER

Northern Sweden is known as Europe’s last remaining wilderness, with unique natural experiences offered year-round. Visit August- March for a chance to see the Northern Lights. Ride a snowmobile or snowshoe through the surreal winter white taiga forest, where you can spot moose and reindeer. Go ice fishing for Arctic Char and Redfin Perch. Go skiing at Storklinten nature reserve. Learn about the indigenous Sámi culture, while listening to joik (traditional Sámi singing) by the fire.

INDULGE IN

The landscape of the north has been chef David Staff’s inspiration for the menu, with a modern take on seasonal Scandinavian produce such as reindeer, moose, wild birds, Arctic char, berries and herbs. All of the meat and fish served has been foraged from the wild.
