Cold bath house
Bath houses by the ocean are often called ‘cold bath houses’ and allow people to comfortably swim in the ocean. They became popular in Sweden in the middle of the 19th century and serve as health spas.

As Sweden is making international headlines for being the first country to be prescribed by doctors for the health benefits of its accessible nature and balanced (‘lagom’) lifestyle, this trip offers an opportunity to test the claim.
In South-Western Sweden’s coastal region Halland, the clean, salty air clears the head. Waves, wind and endless horizons set a calm pace: slow walks along the coast, plates filled with local flavours and the rush of a cold dip.
Highlight: stepping into history – and icy water – at a wooden cold bath house from 1903, only to fall into deep, restful sleep to the sound of waves at the coastal hotel.
