Resembling a bird’s nest, this tranquil space is equipped with four saunas, one treatment room, a hot bath and a cold outdoor bath. At the centre of the circular structure is a plunge pool tha’s kept at 3°C. Guests can opt to suntan around in the centre area or jump into the near-freezing water while watching the aurora borealis dance overhead.
The double-room cabins come with a double bed (160 cm), a bathroom with shower, air-conditioning, minibar, spa bar, Wi-Fi, heated floors and a heater in the form of a pellet stove, according to Arctic Bath’s website.
