Spa

SPA WEEKEND AT THE SEA

As a traditional spa, we have the recipe to recharge your body with energy that is sure to last long after you leave. Go for a massage, a facial, or a dip in the sea (no matter the season). All you have to do is just be here, enjoying the food, the experience, and the company of friends.

THREE BUILDINGS, ONE AMBIENCE

Skansen is bigger than you think, with expansive facilities all catered to your relaxation while offering gorgeous sea views. On the streetside you can check out the Restaurant Sand, our open terrace, and our summer guests hanging out in our charming old stone house. Once you come inside, you are sure to notice the building itself: a lovely conservatory with 12 meter ceilings, and a separate relaxation area on the side. Upstairs are some amazing spots with views of the sea — the perfect place to sit undisturbed and let your mind wander. Around the corner you have the Congress and Tennis Pavilions for larger parties.

TRIPADVISOR-ANMELDELSE JULI 2018

Det hele var i orden

Vi var så begejstrede under hele vores ophold, og også den lille hund som fik lov at komme med. Badehuset er så fint og afslappende. Skønt at man bare kunne gå derned iført morgenkåbe og tøfler. Meget rene og hyggelige omgivelser generelt. Vi var så glade for morgenmaden på værelset og det søde personale.

Our history

A WET STORY

The story of Hotel Skansen is one of a small fishing village which became a resort for tennis and entertainment and eventually a year-round destination for all sorts of active lifestyles.

The main building was built as a granary in 1877. In the 1920s it was converted into a hotel and meeting place for guests who came to play and swim. Båstad had long been known for its cold bathhouse, in the same exact spot where the hotel’s current cold bathhouse is located. Ludvig Nobel used the hotel as a tea serving parlor and a winter retreat. Gustav V was a frequent visitor to the area, and he even participated in the Swedish Open – Swedish Championship.

Today, Hotel Skansen is a year-round activity facility, always available for high-class conference, weekend trips, spa vacations and dining experiences. Conveniently located next to the harbor, tennis courts, the beach and the sea: we have everything you might need, from a relaxing trip to a high powered business seminar.
