At Yasuragi, an enchanting oasis situated in Hasseludden, the fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian spa traditions creates an idyllic retreat.

For urban kids looking to get out of Stockholm for a couple of days, Ellery Beach House is far enough from the city to get a dose of fresh air yet close enough if urban withdrawal symptoms were to occur. It is Sweden’s first and only beach club, and the place to go for leisurely days in the sun with multiple pools, fireplaces, saunas, cabanas, padel courts and an indoor and outdoor gym. You’ll feel as if you’re in Palm Springs thanks to the music, cocktails, cuisine and activities.

Seriously gorgeous after a major revamp, Vana Spa Saltsjöqvarn, at Elite Hotel Marina Tower, is your new go-to for a peaceful escape, just a quick boat ride from the city. From the moment you step inside, you’re surrounded by calming, earthy tones – think wood panels, soft lighting and natural stone that create a warm, relaxed vibe. The main pool area? Total wow factor. Picture a dark, shimmery pool with a sculpted ceiling overhead and soft, cosy loungers all around. Head up to the balcony draped in luxe fabrics for some quiet time. Everything here feels easy and elegant, perfect for anyone looking to totally unwind in style.
