Indulge in one of Sweden's most spectacular aquatic centres — an architectural wonder featuring a rooftop sky pool with panoramic views, thermal pools, and a full Nordic spa. The ultimate Scandinavian wellness ritual for the luxury traveller.
What to expect
Arrive at this award-winning aquatic centre a short taxi ride from the port and ascend to the rooftop sky pool, where warm turquoise water meets the open Nordic sky. Thermal pools, steam rooms, and a Swedish sauna suite form the spa circuit — a deeply restorative Nordic ritual. The centre's design is architecturally striking: vaulted ceilings, natural light flooding the main pool hall, and the rooftop terrace framing the forest-covered hills. A visit to the on-site café or relaxation lounge rounds out an afternoon of genuine Scandinavian luxury. This is fika culture elevated to a wellness art form.
