With the late sunrises and early sunsets during the winter months contrasting with the summer midnight sun, Swedish Lapland is truly one of a kind. And ideally placed, the micro-destination Harads provides a large portion of everything the region has to offer.

rctic Bath has a holistic approach to well-being. Inspired by the timber era, the spa and wellness facilities are built in a circular shape on the water. It floats during the summer and freezesA into ice during the winter, offering visitors a relaxing experience, with a giant ice bath in the middle, ringed with three saunas, a spa treatment room and hot baths. The hotel offers tailor-made

products from Kerstin Florian in all its treatments. With a combination of high levels of antioxidants, minerals and essential fatty acids, all natural and organic, you will feel beautiful from the inside out. The structure includes also a restaurant with Arctic cuisine made with local, pure and sustainable produce set the tone for the evening in the Scandinavian designed restaurant.

The hotel has two types of different rooms: the Water cabins and the Land cabins, among these also the suites. Both types offer a unique stay experience where the aim is to relax and be in

contact with nature. Here, each room has been thoughtfully designed with a high level of comfort and luxury in mind, while keeping with the overall wellness focus.

Designed by Bertil Harström and Johan Kauppi, the floating cabins are connected to the shore by a floating walkway and, each of them has a double room with all the amenities for a pleasant stay.

Designed by AnnKathrin Lundqvist, Land cabins are elevated on poles and situated on the shore among vegetation connected by walkways. With a spiral staircase leading to a loft, each cabin has 5 beds, bathroom with bathtub & shower and a deck offering a place for meditation, morning coffee or just relax. While a suite hosts 2 persons and offers also a living room with all comforts.

The rooms incorporate the surrounding nature inside with a refined design, and always with the attention paid to safeguarding the surrounding environment. Natural, sustainable materials with a rich history such as wood, stone, leather and luxurious textiles harmonize together with Scandinavian style. It's a perfect hide-away under the northern skies. Address: Ramdalsvägen 10, 960 24 - Harads (Sweden)
