Discover the inviting nature of Sweden while staying at one of these unique accommodations, listed from north to south.
1. Sápmi Nature Camp, Swedish Lapland
The award-winning Sápmi Nature Camp, owned and operated by a local Sami family, encourages you to experience the arctic indigenous life in this Laponia World Heritage Area. Offering both autumn and winter package tours, you will experience unique vast landscapes with unspoiled arctic nature where Sami people have lived for thousands of years. The camp consists of double rooms in the form of Lavvu tents, furnished with comfortable beds and efficient stoves that keep you warm, regardless of the outside temperatures.
2. Arctic Bath, Swedish Lapland
Wind down with the choice of hot and cold baths at this futuristic arctic spa, located in Swedish Lapland. Arctic Bath has been recognised by National Geographic as one of the world’s best new hotels for its “breathtakingly brilliant” architecture. Architects Bertil Harström (also behind the equally bombastic and nearby, Treehotel) and Johan Kauppi have designed the spa inspired by the log driving that took place here back in the day. Arctic Bath offers cabins on both land and on water, built with Swedish design using natural and sustainable materials.
3. Treehotel, Swedish Lapland
In the northern parts of Sweden, in the midst of a pinewood forest, lies this architectural highlight. Let your childhood fantasies come to life in these tree houses, suspended 4-10 metres above the ground. Choose from different designs such as the ‘Mirrorcube’, a 4x4x4 metre cube-shaped tree house covered in reflective glass, or the ‘Bird’s Nest’, designed to look just like a gigantic bird’s nest. The Treehotel is the ultimate place to experience forest bathing the Swedish way.
