Hotel Skansen Båstad

Hotel Skansen is a classic spa hotel in the heart of Båstad, featuring a rooftop pool, a cold bath house out in the sea, and a restaurant with views over Kattegatt.

Address
Kyrkogatan 2, 269 33 Båstad

Hotel Skansen is located in the historic Båstad, with Skansen Beach, the harbor, and Kattegatt on one side and tennis courts, the church, and small shops along Köpmansgatan on the other. The hotel is one of Skåne's most classic spa destinations and is open year-round.

The spa ranges from a rooftop infinity pool with sea views to an indoor pool and treatment rooms – but the highlight is the cold bath house. It is located out in the sea at the end of a 60-meter-long wooden pier, on the same spot where Båstad built its first cold bath house in the 1800s, and here awaits a sauna with panoramic windows, a warm bath under the open sky, and a refreshing dip in Kattegatt. In restaurant Sand, dinner is served with a sea view, and cocktails are mixed at the bar Mr G.

Hotel Skansen is perfect for a spa weekend by the sea in Båstad – preferably combined with golf, tennis, or a coastal walk to neighbor Torekov.
