Property details

Escape to Sweden’s coast for a marriage of Varberg’s old spa traditions with the warm and sensuous elements of Havana - includes breakfast and spa access
  • Cuban bliss: When owner Lasse Diding took over Hotell Havanna, he had one mission: to recreate the lazy tranquillity and relaxed attitude of Cuba he fell in love with during his various trips to the historic Caribbean island. Several years on and the hotel boasts a distinctive Cuban décor, more than 101 Cuban rums that become the main event during frequent and highly popular rum tasting sessions, and, naturally, a cigar lounge with a humidor full of hand-rolled treasures.

  • Spa town: In a town that has a 200-year history of spa traditions, it’s doubly impressive that Havanna Bath & Spa stands out from the rest. Inspired by Cuba- and bathing-lover, Ernest Hemingway, Havana Bath & Spa is complete with a traditional sauna, Jacuzzi and various steam baths, not to mention a full offering of massages and treatments. If all that wasn’t enough, don’t forget you’re only moments from the beautiful beaches and glittering sea beyond.

  • Simple food done well: Havanna Kitchen & Bar is run by a chef who champions fuss-free food, maintaining the principles that first-class and fresh ingredients are the only way to whip up simple dishes. Seldom failing to blow away diners, you'll find hints of Caribbean influences on the menu with items like the desserts caramelised with rum, something you should pair with the fiery cocktails.

How to get there

Hotell Havanna is in Varberg, Sweden. It takes an hour and a quarter to drive there from Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport. If you’re arriving with your own car, there are plenty of parking options.

Hotell Havanna, Krabbes väg 4, 43252 Varberg, Sweden

Sprinkled with spas, seasides and cycle-friendly scenery, Varbergs’ calling card is undoubtedly relaxation. With a wellness-conscious history dating back to the 19th century, this enchanting little town has secured its place as Sweden’s primary health resort, complete with nature walks, spa hotels and more outdoor pursuits than you can shake a cinnamon bun at.

When you’re not unwinding in the hotel’s eclectic spa, take a dip in the warm waters of the iconic Kallbadhuset, get a taste of local history at the fascinating Varberg Fortress, shop for souvenirs at the twice-weekly market on Main Square or simply wander the 2.5-kilometre long promenade as you drink in your coastal surroundings. If you’re feeling brave, join the locals and brace the water for a circulation-boosting dip.
