Impressive sea-facing 20th-century spa hotel in Smögen

• Rustic seaside charm: The delightful Smögens Hafvsbad is a gorgeous 20th-century house overlooking the dramatic waves of the North Sea. With an ethos centred around health and wellness, the hotel is a popular haven for rest and relaxation. Follow in their footsteps and sink into a world of wellness and nautical living.

• Solace by the sea: Considered its piece de resistance, the hotel’s spa is a welcoming sanctuary. Drawing upon the soothing powers of water, the hotel has a long history of offering its guests beneficial treatments for both body and soul. Flit between lovely moments in the Jacuzzi, saunas, emotional showers, and indoor and outdoor pools, before enjoying a refreshing dip in the sea. You could also book a treatment with one of the spa's experienced therapists for maximum relaxation.

• Freshest, local seafood around: It’ll come as no surprise that the majority of the restaurant’s menu draws upon seafood - sample fresh fish caught in the Skagerrak by local fishermen and enjoy regional ingredients. Your beautiful surroundings and the view out to sea also do their part to make dinner an experience out of the ordinary.
