True West Coast Spa – Sea Bath & Sauna

Treat yourself to a unique experience with a welcome drink at the hotel, a refreshing dip in the sea at Lysekil’s Cold Bathhouse, followed by a relaxing sauna, delicious food, and a good night’s sleep, rounded off with a delightful hotel breakfast!

Experience real spa culture and feel the healing effects of a genuine Viking-style sea bath!
Here we bathe all year round, and Lysekil has its very own cold bathhouse, built over 100 years ago solely for this purpose.

Lysekil’s Cold Bathhouse, sometimes affectionately called “nakenbadet” (the nude bath) by locals, has a long and fascinating history. As early as 1847, the first bathing facility was established here, and by the late 19th century Lysekil had become one of Sweden’s most renowned spa resorts thanks to the physician Carl Curman. He strongly believed in the healing power of saltwater baths, fresh sea air, and even half a glass of seawater a day (preferably mixed with whiskey!). The current cold bathhouse was built in 1916 and is today one of the country’s oldest bathing facilities. Here, you can experience what was once the height of fashion among society’s elite: an invigorating cold plunge in the sea followed by a warming sauna. And despite its playful nickname “nakenbadet”, many visitors choose to bathe wearing swimwear, just as it suits them best.

If you’d like to enjoy the sauna afterwards, please note that it is open to both ladies and gentlemen. Make sure to check the opening hours to plan your sauna session accordingly.
