Arctic Bath

A circular timber spa hotel floating on the Lule River, frozen into the ice in winter, where guests can plunge into icy water after the sauna.

Created by the team behind Treehotel in Harads, this circular timber structure floats on the Lule River. At its center is an open-air cold plunge pool, surrounded by saunas, hot pools, and guest rooms. In winter the whole building freezes into the river ice, while in summer it floats with the current and offers views of the midnight sun. You can stay overnight or book a spa session; prices are high, so advance booking is recommended. It is about 5 km from Treehotel, and the two are usually visited together.
