DESTINATIONS NORDICS | SPA BREAKS
3 Fjord pampering
Sitting at the edge of Bjornafjorden, Norway’s widest fjord, the Solstrand Hotel and Spa’s magnolia-hued mansion offers a relaxed atmosphere before clients even step into the spa. Inside, a pool and the usual staples await – a steam room, Finnish sauna, therapy pool with massage jets (pictured) and cold-plunge area. For a gentler option, the sanarium is a low-temperature sauna with higher humidity. Katie Bunting, business development manager at Sunvil, says: “Award-winning Nordic wellness at Solstrand includes hot saunas and indoor and outdoor pools with fjord views, seasonal local cuisine – from fjord fish and shellfish to western Norway lamb and seasonal vegetables – plus unforgettable
experiences on the water and in the mountains, including kayaking and hiking.” Book it: Sunvil sells four nights’ half-board from £1,679 per person, based on two sharing. Includes luggage, car hire and flights from Gatwick on August 24.

6 Seaside spa
With its enviable location on top of a natural spring but also beside the seaside, Farris Bad (pictured) in southern Norway offers the chance to dunk in both fresh and salt water. Scented saunas, mineral-rich face masks and body scrubs all replenish the mind and body – and guests can also take advantage of complimentary yoga classes. Martin Garland, co-owner of Expressions Holidays, says: “Farris Bad is a typical example of contemporary Norwegian brilliance, blending stunning modern architecture, using natural resources and perpetuating traditional pastimes such as the sauna and seawater swimming. Pre-booking spa treatments and sauna time
is an absolute must.” Book it: Expressions Holidays sells a four-night stay from £1,650 per person, based on two sharing. Includes breakfast, car hire and flights departing July 1.
