Norwegian style spas
Imagine yourself floating in a steaming pool, surrounded by mountains, right next to a calm fjord or a glittering lake. Sounds nice, right?
Several recent Norwegian spa facilities have been thoughtfully designed to be in harmony with nature’s own elements. Many are beautifully located with relaxing views of a forest or a fjord. At some, you can swim between outdoors and indoors without even leaving the pool.
Norwegian spas are all about water and more water, an element you’ll see in everywhere in Norwegian nature. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that you’ll find a lot of hot and cold – no, wait – icy pools, tubs, and even indoor waterfalls.
Visit Farris Bad near the city of Larvik, which draws its mineral-rich water from a natural source 55 metres below ground. Here, you can also experience a unique spa ritual performed by some of the world’s best Aufguss masters, in one of the largest saunas in Northern Europe.
Just 15 minutes south of Oslo, The Well is the largest bathhouse and spa in the Nordic region, with eleven different pools. It even has a northern lights-inspired sauna!
In Fjord Norway, several hotels offer first class spa facilities with fantastic views of fjords and mountain peaks. You can also experience a spa treat at many of the Historic Hotels around the country.
