Four seasons. One experience

Kontrasternas Spa

Premier 9th October 2026

More than a spa

A new experience is taking shape – shaped by the seasons of Marstrand. A spa where the seasons lead the way and the contrasts of the sea shape every moment. Where cold meets warmth. Where storms meet stillness.

Where conversations continue long after the day is over, and a weekend away becomes a memory you’ll want to return to.

We call it Kontrasternas Spa (Spa of contrasts).
Because it is in the contrasts that we find our way back to what truly matters.

Welcome to Kontrasternas Spa.

WHERE ME-TIME BECOMES TIME TOGETHER Sea & contrasts. Experience. This is the whole experience, without the fuss. Spa, sea and flavours – contrasts that bring everything to life. Warm. Cold. Still. In motion. You’re here now, and that’s enough. You’re checking in for more than an overnight stay. You’re checking in to a completely new and unique experience filled with warmth, views and restorative moments in our new spa. Feel winter snow against your skin in the snow shower. Let the warmth of Bohuslän’s sun-warmed rocks recharge you. A cold plunge brings you back to life before you step into the summer storm. Outside, the North Sea awaits – raw, beautiful and alive. Inside, softer tones, warmth and the presence of autumn bring balance. And at the heart of it all: a bar glowing like a sunrise. As evening falls, the flavours take over. A four-course dinner and a love letter to Bohuslän – from salt-sprayed waves to rugged granite shores. The sea takes centre stage, with ingredients that reflect the place we’re part of. There are, of course, options for everyone, but let’s put it this way – tonight, you’ll want to follow the sea. Preferably accompanied by carefully selected wines that bring out every nuance, every bite, every moment. Wake up to a long, leisurely breakfast and let the morning take its time before it’s time to say until next time. Leaving with more experiences than you arrived with. - Admission to Kontrasternas Spa - Mouth-watering four-course dinner - A comfortable bed - A generous breakfast buffet, served with genuine Bohuslän hospitality

PRESS RELEASE
Marstrands Havshotell continues its development journey – investing in a new spa opening in autumn 2026

Marstrands Havshotell continues its development journey and is now investing in a brand-new spa, set to open in autumn 2026. Inspired by the contrasts of nature and the changing seasons, a new experience is taking shape – one where social connection, atmosphere and the overall experience take centre stage.

Since opening in 2011, Marstrands Havshotell has evolved with a clear inspiration from Bohuslän’s rugged cliffs, the sea and the raw environment that defines the destination.

In 2016, the next step was taken with the opening of the Sillsalteriet event space – an environment inspired by the herring era and Marstrand’s rich heritage. Today, Sillsalteriet is a unique venue and a natural choice for weddings, large events and groups seeking a distinctive dining experience.

In 2018, a major expansion marked a significant milestone. With 46 new hotel rooms, expanded conference facilities and new restaurant environments, the foundations were laid for the hotel’s development into a leading destination on Sweden’s west coast. The expansion drew inspiration from the shipyard’s history and the industrial heritage that has shaped Marstrand – an influence that still defines the hotel’s expression today.

This investment opened up entirely new opportunities to host everything from smaller private gatherings to large-scale conferences and events, in close collaboration with local activity partners.

Now, the next step is being taken.

“We have built our story step by step – from the nature of Bohuslän, through the herring era reflected in Sillsalteriet, to the shipyard’s industrial heritage in our expansion. Now we take the next step, letting the contrasts of nature and the seasons fully shape our new spa experience,” says Caroline Eliasson Bredelius, CEO of Marstrands Havshotell.

The new spa draws inspiration from the dramatic nature of the west coast, where a single day can hold calm seas, strong winds, warmth, cold and rapid shifts in atmosphere. That feeling is now brought indoors – becoming an integral part of the experience.

Here, all seasons meet under one roof. Through contrasts, temperatures and varied experiences, an environment is created where guests move between warmth and cold, stillness and energy – inspired by the rhythm of nature.

The social aspect is at the heart of the concept. A spa is not only a place for recovery, but a place for experiences – for connecting, for simply being, for enjoying the moment together with others. But also for stepping outside your comfort zone and trying something new.

Guests will be able to move between sauna environments, warm baths and refreshing contrasts – such as cold plunges and elements of snow – reflecting the shifting conditions along the Bohuslän coast.

As a central part of the spa, a new relaxation area will be created around a fireplace – a warm and vibrant gathering place where guests can meet, linger and let the experience unfold. Adjacent to this, a central bar will further enhance the social atmosphere.

At the same time, new technology and innovative installations will be integrated, adding unique features and experiences to the spa.

“The combination of natural contrasts and modern technology will create a spa experience that truly stands out,” says Caroline Eliasson Bredelius.

As part of the investment, new environments within the hotel will also be developed. Adjacent to the restaurant, a completely new lounge area will be created – a flexible space equally suited for relaxed after works, private dining, spontaneous meetings or simply a moment to unwind, with views of the harbour and Marstrandsön.

The space will be designed to adapt between different uses – from a social meeting place to an experience-driven area where guests can challenge each other to a game of table tennis or gather around the same table to share a meal.

As a hotel, Marstrands Havshotell is already a destination in itself – located in the unique setting of Marstrand. With this new investment, the hotel continues to develop the overall experience and create new reasons to visit Marstrand all year round.
