The Arctic Bath is inspired by the timber floating era, where trees felled in local forests were transported down the river to be processed. A circular-shaped floating luxury spa, with one spa treatment room, four saunas, an outside cold bath, a hot bath, outdoor and indoor showers, and two dressing rooms. The open central patio area of the bath invites guests to sunbathe, ice bathe or sit back to view the Northern Lights or star-filled skies. A dip in the bath itself is consistent with the Arctic tradition of a cold-water plunge with the water maintained at 39 degrees Fahrenheit and combines well with the warmth of a sauna and spa.

Six floating cabins and six additional land-based cabins are available for guests to stay overnight in this serene area. This new floating spa freezes into the river ice in the winter, and floats on top of the Lule river in the summer, giving guests a luxury overnight spa experience, all in a prime spot to experience the Northern Lights.
