South Lodge Hotel

Bestil hvis You want a world-class spa break where you can eat Michelin-starred food while watching the chefs cook it.

Hvorfor folk elsker det

  • The 44,000 sq ft spa with a wild swimming pond and heated infinity pool
  • The Pass restaurant where you sit inside the kitchen
  • The Reeds: private eco-lodges with exclusive lake views

Hurtig oversigt: A serious spa destination that punishes you with shorter access hours if you book via Expedia instead of directly.

Anmeldt af @bonnierakhit: I came here for a quick reset and was blown away. The wild swimming pond is freezing but exhilarating, and the forest bathing guide completely shifted my mindset. Plus, the Michelin-starred dinner was the perfect reward. 10/10 would recommend for a solo treat.

The hype

The spa is the main event and absolutely lives up to the hype, but the food and drink prices are eye-watering.

Reality check

Standard 'Smart' rooms can feel a bit small and dated compared to the ultra-modern spa facilities.

  • You are a spa junkie who wants thermal suites and wild swimming
  • You are a foodie chasing Michelin stars (The Pass)
  • You want a quiet, adult-focused romantic getaway

Renhed & Vedligeholdelse

9.2
  • Housekeeping: meticulous daily service, though high ceilings sometimes harbor dust on light fixtures.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate. Marble surfaces are polished, grout is clean.
  • Maintenance: Excellent condition, especially in the spa and new wings. Older rooms have some wear.
  • Linens & towels: High thread count, crisp white linens. Spa robes are plush and plentiful.
  • Odors & scents: Signature spa scent (lemongrass/herbal) permeates the common areas.
