Falkenberg and Hotel Strandbaden: Chic Coastal Bliss
Nestled along Sweden’s west coast, Falkenberg is a such a lovely town that combines seaside serenity with a touch of rustic charm. Its sandy beaches, cozy cafés, and quaint streets make it the perfect destination for those seeking both relaxation and exploration. For a deeper dive into the area, the Visit Halland app is an invaluable tool. It’s packed with tips on local attractions, activities, and hidden gems to make your trip even more memorable.
At the heart of my visit was Hotel Strandbaden, a haven of style and comfort right on Skrea Beach. The hotel’s spa is a standout feature, offering a chic escape with breathtaking views of the sea. Whether soaking in the outdoor hot tubs, unwinding in the sauna, or indulging in a rejuvenating treatment, the atmosphere is all about effortless luxury and relaxation.
The hotel and its restaurant exude a chic country club vibe—elegant yet laid-back. Think soft lighting, beautifully soft, crafted interiors, and an inviting, social ambiance. The restaurant’s menu, inspired by local and seasonal ingredients, pairs perfectly with its refined yet cozy setting. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy good meal while soaking in the stunning ocean views or hanging out by the central open fireplace.
Exploring Falkenberg itself is also recommended. The town offers a mix of charming boutiques, artisanal shops, and beautiful spots like the Ätran River and historic Tullbron Bridge. The friendly, small-town feel makes it easy to lose track of time wandering its streets. If you come by car; Sonja’s Veranda or the cute, award-winning, Solhaga stone oven bakery also comes with a huge recommendation for lunch or “fika”.
