Why

  1. The Well covers 10,500 square metres with 10 pools, a cold plunge pool and 15 saunas and steam baths, as well as a hotel.
  2. Farris Bad lies on the beach in Larvik, has 176 rooms and suites, and its spa of more than 2,500 square metres is built on a natural mineral spring.
  3. Union Geiranger's spa covers 1,500 square metres, and the hotel is open all year.

Details

Solstrand, 30 minutes from Bergen city centre, opened as a seawater bath in 1896, and its bath area has an outdoor pool, a therapy pool and saunas with views of the fjord. Hotel Ullensvang lies on the shore of the Hardangerfjord in Lofthus and has a sauna with a panoramic view of the fjord and indoor and outdoor pools. At Union Geiranger, access to the spa can be booked separately.

Tip

Before you book, ask whether spa entry is included in the room rate or must be booked separately.

What may differ

Age limits differ: The Well is for guests over 18, or 16 with a guardian, and Farris Bad has a 16-year age limit in its spa and pool areas, so families with younger children should check before booking.
