Arctic Bath, an architectural marvel and luxury design hotel, has established itself as a must-visit destination in Swedish Lapland. Drawing inspiration from the renowned Treehotel, this innovative property elevates the region’s hospitality scene with its exclusive floating concept.
Since its debut, Arctic Bath has garnered significant global recognition for its unique vision and sustainable ethos.
Nestled in Harads amidst the pristine wilderness of Swedish Lapland, Arctic Bath is located approximately 49 km from Boden and 90 km from Luleå Airport, offering convenient access for discerning travelers. The property is comprised of 14 architecturally distinct wooden structures, featuring a gourmet restaurant, sophisticated bar, state-of-the-art spa facilities with sauna, cold plunge, and a dedicated treatment suite.
The floating main lodge is a contemporary homage to Sweden’s timber-floating heritage, symbolizing the deep connection between the nation’s forests and its cultural evolution. Its striking circular design provides a sheltered oasis for sunbathers in summer and cold-water bathers in winter, blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.
Guests can choose from 12 meticulously designed suites, either perched on the riverbank or suspended on the water itself. Each suite embodies minimalist Scandinavian luxury, offering sweeping views of untouched nature, the magical midnight sun, or the ethereal northern lights—depending on the season.
The on-site restaurant champions hyper-local, organic produce, serving a refined five-course tasting menu that celebrates the culinary traditions of the indigenous Sami people, including signature dishes such as Sami Gahku (traditional flatbread). The bar curates a selection of craft beers, boutique wines, and nutrient-rich smoothies, emphasizing quality and provenance.
Arctic Bath is dedicated to holistic wellness, utilizing premium Kerstin Florian spa products and offering a range of multi-day wellness programs. Seasonally tailored experiences are available, from immersive Sami cultural encounters and guided nature treks to moose tracking, ice fishing, and husky sledding adventures.
At BusinessClass, we value the arrival of truly distinctive luxury properties. Despite the challenges faced by the travel sector in recent years, Arctic Bath stands out as an inspiring example of resilience and creativity. We invite our readers to discover this extraordinary floating sanctuary and experience the best of Lapland’s natural beauty and Nordic hospitality.
