Come with friends, your partner, or even your colleagues, or just treat yourself! We promise you a super relaxed and lovely time in the warmth, right on the beach!
Enjoy Warm & Cold Baths
Welcome to our outdoor SPA, where you can enjoy warm and cold baths. We'd love to be a refreshing break from your daily routine or a cozy highlight during your stay in Visby!
Here, besides your booked service, you always get access to the pool, sea swimming, our changing room, and toilets.
From September 26th, our serving area is open Thursday – Sunday. We'd love to serve you drinks for your swim and a meal afterwards. Of course, you're also welcome to visit us just for the food and the amazing view! 🙂
If you like, you're welcome to rent a luxurious organic linen bath towel when you arrive.
After Work - FRIDAYS
Afterwork with warm and cold dips
Welcome to after-work drinks at Snäckviken sauna, wood-fired hot tub, and cold dips in the pool and sea. Every Friday! Gotland's coolest bar is open rain or shine, and you are welcome to book a relaxed meal!
You're welcome to come even if you don't plan to swim, but if you do want to swim, you'll need to make a reservation. Our regular swimming hours are 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., but you can book a time slot between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.! Price: 250 SEK
For those who don't want to swim!
You're welcome to hang out with us here, alongside everyone enjoying a swim, without getting wet yourself! In our new winter restaurant, you'll be cozy indoors, right next to the pool area. Or, if you prefer, dress for the weather and relax by the flickering fireplace. No matter how wet you want to get, you'll have a great spot to spend time with your friends or family. It's also a perfect chance to try Orangeriet's delicious menu and watch our bar evolve throughout the season!

Add food to your booking
If you want to make it a complete experience, you're welcome to eat while you're here. After you book, we'll send you an offer with delicious snacks that are perfect for enjoying in your swimwear, no matter the weather. We serve everything in our outdoor relaxation area, protected from wind and bad weather, and you get to choose when you want your food ready. Water is included, and you can also order other drinks. Unfortunately, we can't serve food without a pre-booking.
GROUPS & EVENTS - BOOK THE ENTIRE HOT BATH AREA
Enjoying a warm outdoor bath is a super cozy activity for your company or group of friends, perfect for any weather or season! Treat your colleagues to a luxurious break from the daily grind, or gather your friends for a unique way to experience the season. We can comfortably host up to 26 people bathing at once, but if everyone's feeling friendly, we can squeeze in a few more! During summer, the entire pool area is included, so groups can be quite large since not everyone will be in the water at the same time.
When you book for groups, you'll have the area all to yourselves. Changing rooms, toilets, and the sauna are always included, and we can serve drinks and food if you'd like. We're happy to combine your bathing experience with food and other activities throughout the year; we tailor our offers to suit the seasons!
Off-season prices for groups, 2 hours.
- Sauna: 1,200 SEK
- Sauna + 1 hot tub: 3,000 SEK
- Sauna + 2 hot tubs: 4,200 SEK
- Towel rental: 90 SEK
During summer, you're welcome to contact us for private bookings.

Booking Conditions:
You can cancel or reschedule your booking as explained below. After that, your booking becomes final.
- Sauna: Up to 24 hours before your scheduled time.
- Hot Tub & Private Bookings: Up to 72 hours before your scheduled time.
Only the person who made the booking can make changes, by logging into your customer profile. We can't handle cancellations or rebookings over the phone or by email.
These rules are in place because of how we operate. When you book a sauna slot, we get our staff ready, prepare the facility, and make sure everything is set for your visit. If the weather's not great, this often means extra work for us, like clearing snow, making sure surfaces aren't slippery, and adjusting the facility to keep things safe. We do all this work whether you end up using your booking or not, which is why we can't accept late cancellations.
Cancellations due to Weather
If SMHI (the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute) issues an orange or red weather warning, we'll close the sauna for safety. We won't send out a special notice about the closure, but don't worry, all bookings will be automatically refunded.
So, if you're not sure you can make it, we recommend waiting to book until you're certain you can use the time.
Sauna and hot tubs
Our cool sauna is a converted workshop wagon from the military. It's luxurious for 8 guests, comfortable for 10, but if you're with a group of friends, 12 people can fit too. We have two wood-fired hot tubs, each with room for up to 10 people.
Cold dips in the pool and ocean
Visby's most beautiful sandy beach is right here, complete with two swimming piers. It's only about 50 meters from our SPA to the water. Even closer, we have our pool! It's not heated, so it's perfect if you want a refreshing dip nearby. The pool is open from April 1st until it gets too cold and might freeze (usually it closes in November).
Shower and Changing Rooms
We have small changing rooms—one for women and one for men. Please feel free to change into your swimwear here before swimming. There are a few lockers in each room that can be locked with a padlock you bring yourself. It’s a good idea to share them if you want to use them. Otherwise, it’s a good idea to store your belongings in bags that you place in the designated area outside—that way, things stay tidy for everyone else as well.
We offer an outdoor shower with reasonably warm water; there is no indoor shower except for groups that have made a reservation. There are restrooms for men and women!
Etiquette (aka: please wear swimwear)
During our public hours, we ask that you keep your swimwear on while bathing. If you have a private booking, you can decide for yourselves what to do inside the sauna. However, outside the sauna, you should always wear swimwear or a towel. We know this might not be what everyone expects from a traditional Swedish sauna experience. But we have lots of international guests, and we're right on a public beach. We want everyone to feel comfortable and have easy access, which is why we keep things covered up 🙂
No outside alcohol
On certain occasions, we offer food and drinks with your swim. During these times, no outside food or drinks are allowed. When we're not offering food and drinks, no outside alcohol is allowed either, due to Swedish serving regulations.
A Little Tip for Your Feet
It's a good idea to bring some kind of footwear that can handle water and sand. That way, your feet will stay warm until you're ready to dip them in the sea!
