Located just 30 minutes from Copenhagen, Kurhotel Skodsborg is set between the ocean and the forest and is Denmark's leading luxury health resort.
Founded over 100 years ago, the philosophy of the five star resort is based around its founder Dr Carl Ottosen's principles for leading a healthy life, which centre around light, air, water, nutrition, exercise and rest.
As you would expect from a five star Scandinavian resort, the interiors are clean and modern and the food prepared by their acclaimed head chef Eric Kroun is healthy, but delicious. The big draw, though, is the resort's excellent spa, which consists of 16 different cooling and warming experiences, including a hydrospa, outdoor jacuzzi, soft sauna, hot sauna, salt grotto, foot bath and steam bath. There is also a state of the art gym, yoga rooms and an on-site medical centre offering services from acupuncture and reflexology to dentistry, psychiatry and physiotherapy.
In terms of activities, there's a huge range for guests to choose from including mindful power training and silent retreats to CrossFit bootcamps by the ocean and running workshops through the forest. However, a must-do activity is the SaunaGus, which is the resort's signature treatment and involves the mystical “Gus Master” mixing the water used for the sauna with aromatherapy oils and then distributing the oil-infused steam throughout the sauna using a towel. The oils used provide a mild scent giving a long lasting effect of relaxation, calm, circulation and renewed energy and strength. A unique treatment that's not for the faint of heart.
So whether you're looking to detox, lose a bit of weight or just want to get away from the hassles of everyday life for a few days, Kurhotel Skodsborg is the perfect destination for a luxury wellness break.

The philosophy of the spa is based on the property's founder, Dr. Carl Ottosen’s principles for leading a healthy life. The Dr. founded Kurhotel Skodsborg in 1898 and revolutionised the approach to a healthy life by focusing on bathing traditions based on light, air, water, nutrition, exercise and rest.
The spa area consists of 16 different cooling and warming experiences, including a; 100 m2 hydrospa with grottos and massage showers, outdoor jacuzzi, infrared heat, soft sauna, hot sauna, hot and cold showers, salt grotto, foot bath, steam bath, Rasul, the unique Spa Rain and a 21m swimming pool.
The signature treatment of the spa is the SaunaGus, which involves the “Gus Master” mixing the water used for the sauna with aromatherapy oils and then distributing the oil-infused steam throughout the sauna using a towel. The oils used provide a mild scent giving a long lasting effect of relaxation, calm, circulation and renewed energy and strength. Some SaunaGus sessions also finish off with a quick dip in Øresund.
In addition to the spa, there is also an on-site medical centre offering services from acupuncture and reflexology to dentistry, psychiatry and physiotherapy.
The property's three restaurants have a strong focus on healthy eating, but the food is so delicious and inventive that there’s no sense of denial. On the contrary, you feel totally indulged, particularly in The Restaurant by Kroun, the fine-dining option that’s earned rave reviews for its gourmet Nordic dishes. More informal is The Brasserie, where breakfast choices range from chia pots and fruit-topped porridge to generous servings of avocado and smoked salmon. The most laid-back option is The Lobby, with delicious smørrebrød, cakes and cocktails.
