The Stockholm Spa Experience

Jan 11 , 2011

With a prime location on Lake Mälaren, the Stockholm spa culture is top-notch. Choose any of these great locations to get your authentic Swedish massage.


Sweden's location on the water makes it a natural site for spas and similar recreational opportunities, and Stockholm spa culture is the pinnacle of relaxation and comfort. During your stay, be sure to spend a day or two reveling in one of many Stockholm spa experiences, which offer great services and amenities for you to get those kinks and knots worked out.

The Swedish Massage

The Swedish massage is a classic. It is gentle and relaxing, making it perfect for first time spa visitors and veterans alike. Fittingly, the Stockholm Day Spa offers a great Swedish spa experience. The Stockholm Day Spa specializes in classic massage techniques, as well as other staples like facials, pedicures, and manicures.

Bathhouses

Stockholm also has many bathhouses you should consider enjoying. To combine a historical experience with your spa treatment, reserve a day at Sturebadet. This Stockholm spa dates back to the 1800s, and it features a swimming pool and gym in addition to its spa treatments.

Another great bathhouse can be found at Centralbadet, which is located in a lavish art nouveau building from the early twentieth century. Centralbadet's premier treatment type is its baths, and it offers many different kinds of therapeutic baths and body treatments. Storkyrkobadet is a smaller, intimate bathhouse that is short on frills but long on quality and experience. Storkyrkobadet is a classic spa with long rows of porcelain bathtubs in which you may relax in any number of spa treatments. This Stockholm spa and bathhouse also has a pool in which kids are allowed to play, which is great for parents who want to pamper themselves while keeping the little ones busy and out of trouble.

Spas for Men

If the guys in your group are a little tentative about taking in a Stockholm spa experience, send them to Barber & Books. Barber & Books is a traditional barbershop, complete with straight razors, hot towels, and neck shaves. Get a clean new cut to fit in with Stockholm's minimalist look, and follow it up with a relaxing neck massage. Guy's will leave looking sharp and feeling loose, despite missing out on a full-body Swedish massage from a Stockholm spa.

Japanese Spa

For something a little different, try Hasseludden Yasuragi, a Japanese-style spa. This Stockholm spa focuses on holistic healing and rejuvenation, and you are encouraged to pack lightly and stay all day. Hasseludden Yasuragi offers a variety of treatment and bath options, and its package deals allow for budget flexibility. It even has a fantastic Japanese restaurant and conference area, making this the perfect place to do business in a relaxing atmosphere.

Stockholm spa experiences are some of the best anywhere, and they offer a moment of relaxation during your busy trip.
