Beskrivelse
Information
The small village of Harads lies approximately one hour from Luleå, the administrative centre of Norrbotten County. In the stillness of northern Sweden, two of Scandinavia’s most distinctive hotel concepts are situated — one elevated among the treetops, the other floating on the river.
For smaller groups seeking an exclusive and carefully considered stay, Harads offers a compelling choice.
Comfort Among the Treetops
Treehotel is more than an architectural favourite suspended in the forest canopy.
It evokes the childhood fantasy of a treehouse — realised with contemporary Scandinavian design. The property comprises seven individually designed cabins, inspired by the film The Tree Lover. Built high above the ground, the eco-conscious rooms overlook the Lule River, pine forest and — in the right season — the Northern Lights or the midnight sun.
Interiors are refined and modern, with generous beds, WC and washbasin. Showers are located in a nearby service building.
The restaurant focuses on game and seasonal ingredients drawn from the surrounding landscape. Guests may also dine among the trees — a singular experience where dinner is served ten metres above ground.
In summer, activities include kayaking, hiking and exploring the area by fat bike. Winter brings dog sledding, snowmobile excursions and ice fishing.
Floating Architecture on the Lule River
Arctic Bath is a striking spa and hotel complex floating on the Lule River.
The circular structure — formed by interconnected buildings with a cold bath at its centre — draws inspiration from the timber floating traditions that once shaped life along the river.
The architecture combines raw natural materials with minimalist precision — a clear expression of contemporary Scandinavian design in dialogue with landscape and heritage.
With a limited number of rooms, the atmosphere remains intimate and prioritises space for each guest.
Arctic Bath also offers:
- A restaurant centred on local produce
- Bar and lounge areas
- Multiple saunas
- Treatment rooms focused on wellbeing
The floating form and river setting make the spa experience inseparable from its surroundings.
Refined Scandinavian Luxury
Both Arctic Bath and Treehotel represent a distinctly Scandinavian approach to contemporary luxury.
The experience is singular. The level of service attentive without excess. Rates reflect the ambition and quality of the product.
Local sourcing, sustainable production and clean Arctic flavours define the culinary offering at Arctic Bath.
A stay here is not about spectacle — but about carefully composed moments in a setting unlike any other.
