Ystad Saltsjöbad

With over a century of tradition, Ystad Saltsjöbad is one of Skåne’s most iconic bath hotels. Since 1897, this classic seaside retreat has welcomed guests looking to unwind by the sea, enjoy long beach walks, and take in the fresh coastal air. Today, the hotel blends timeless elegance with modern wellness—perfect for a relaxing getaway.

About the hotel

Set along the sandy beach just outside Ystad, Ystad Saltsjöbad is a destination made for relaxation. The hotel’s Lido Club & Spa is a true highlight, featuring heated indoor and outdoor pools, saunas, hot springs, and views over the Baltic Sea. A unique feature is the poolside service—you can order drinks and enjoy them while sitting in the warm water, adding an extra touch of indulgence to the experience. Guests can also book a variety of soothing treatments in The Creek Spa

There are three restaurants at the hotel, each offering a different experience. Port serves French and American dishes in a relaxed, stylish setting with a focus on high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. Gilda’s is the place for long, social dinners with Italian favourites and a lively atmosphere. For something more casual, the Lido Lounge offers a truly unique experience - enjoy Asian flavours while lounging in oversized beds, surrounded by soft lighting and lounge music. The hotel bar completes the experience with cocktails, wine, and a cosy spot to end the evening.

The charming town of Ystad is just a short walk away, offering cobbled streets, cafés, and cultural sights, including the historic monastery and locations from the Wallander series. The surrounding Österlen region is known for its long beaches, open landscapes, and attractions such as Ales Stenar—an ancient stone monument with sweeping sea views.
