With the ocean on its doorstep and exciting new things to discover every day, TanumStrand is the ultimate venue for both summer holidays, conferences, and weekend getaways. Here is time to both relax and activate yourself during your stay, with a large range of different cottages and rooms to choose from. “When our guests arrive, many of them are surprised by how big the resort is! And fair enough, not many places can host the number of guests that we can,” says Ewa 36

Active Relaxation TanumStrand’s credo is ‘active relaxation’. Guests are encouraged to enjoy the many activities available at and around the resort, but also to take time to wind down, relax, and enjoy some ‘me time’. The spa consists of two major areas. Firstly, there’s Spa Horisont, a fully equipped spa with saunas, a warm pool,
a range of massages and facial treatments, warming stone beds, a relaxation room with a bar, and a champagne pool – a smaller, outdoor pool with small bubbles resembling the French beverage. This area is only open to guests over 16 years of age. The other area is called Stora Blå and is open to all ages. It has a larger pool for both swimming and playing, as well as water slides and water jets. Svensson says, “we are happy to offer a calm space for grown-ups to fully relax. We love to be able to have guests of all ages at our resort, but at the spa, we have decided to stick with 16 and above. And it has worked really well!”
