Cold Bath – a Beloved Tradition in the Spa Town of Varberg
In the spa town of Varberg, endorphin-inducing cold baths are a well-known phenomenon. For generations, the powers of the sea have been used to strengthen both body and mind. From icy cold to sweltering heat, the sensation of temperature fluctuations between sauna bathing and cold baths is wonderful, detoxifying, and invigorating. We are proud to continue the tradition of cold bathing. At Kusthotellet's cold bath house, you can enjoy sauna baths and sauna activities before and after your cold dip in Kattegatt, all year round.

Sauna Cupping in the Cold Bath House
Cupping in the sauna
The cupping session is led by a sauna host. You will perform the cupping on yourself with guidance from the sauna host. In the cupping session, we use cups to massage the body in a warm, comfortable environment in the sauna. By creating a vacuum on the skin, the suction cup provides an effective and deep connective tissue massage, promotes circulation of blood, lymph, and interstitial fluids, and stimulates the skin.
