A Sustainable Spa Day: Guilt-Free Pampering on Styrsö

Indulge in a day of luxurious pampering without compromising your environmental values at the new spa on Styrsö island. “Havskuren” (The Sea Cure) at the Kusthotellet is a shining example of a sustainable spa, where every element of your relaxation is designed to be in harmony with the beautiful natural surroundings.
The spa’s commitment to sustainability starts with its core ingredients. Instead of using products shipped from halfway across the world, Havskuren sources its key elements locally. The salt used in treatments comes from the surrounding sea, and the seaweed is harvested sustainably from the very waters you can see from the spa’s windows. This not only reduces the spa’s carbon footprint but also provides an experience that is authentically connected to the island.
The spa is housed within a hotel that is a model of green building practices. It is heated and cooled using efficient ground-source heat pumps, and the entire property is designed to minimize energy and water consumption. This means that the heat for your sauna and the water for your foot bath are provided in the most environmentally responsible way possible.
The spa manager even makes some of the lotions and creams herself, ensuring they are made with natural, high-quality ingredients and free from harmful chemicals. This dedication to craftsmanship and purity further enhances the spa’s green credentials and the quality of your treatment.
A spa day at Havskuren is a truly guilt-free indulgence. You can relax and rejuvenate, knowing that your experience is supporting local resources, minimizing environmental impact, and celebrating the natural bounty of the Swedish archipelago. It’s a perfect blend of personal wellbeing and planetary wellness.
