Farris Bad in Larvik, on the western shore of the Oslofjord, is one of Norway's most celebrated spa and wellness destinations, built around the legendary Farris mineral spring that has been bottled and sold across Scandinavia for over a century. The bicarbonate-sodium spring water, which emerges at a cool 8°C and is lightly effervescent, is famous as Norway's most iconic natural mineral water. The resort offers a full range of hydrotherapy treatments, indoor and outdoor thermal pools, and luxury spa facilities in a beautifully designed waterfront setting. Larvik's maritime heritage, including its connection to explorer Thor Heyerdahl, gives the destination an additional cultural depth.

Insider tip — Thor Heyerdahl was born in Larvik in 1914 and crossed the Pacific on a balsa raft (Kon-Tiki) in 1947 to prove that the Polynesians could have come from South America. The child of Larvik — the most daring explorer of the 20th century — and his native bicarbonate springs.
