Arctic Bath is a unique hotel and spa experience, a floating oasis in the heart of northern Sweden and only an hour south of the Arctic Circle. The hotel bathes in northern lights in wintertime and in midnight sun in summer. Here you can nurture your body and soul with spa treatments in the sauna and dip your body in the icy water in winter. And in summer go wild swimming. Enjoy exciting, northern Swedish gastronomy with ingredients from the region and with inspiration from Sami cuisine. Arctic Bath can be combined with safaris, hiking or other activities in Lapland.
