Bokenäs Havsbad Spa is a sea bathing and wellness facility on the Bokenäs peninsula near Uddevalla in the Bohuslän County of the Swedish west coast, in an archipelago landscape of smooth granite skerries, fjords, and island-studded seaways that extends along the entire coast of western Sweden from Gothenburg to the Norwegian border. The chloride-rich seawater used in the spa's thalassotherapy pools and treatments draws on the exceptionally clean and mineral-rich North Sea water of the Swedish west coast, where the cold Scandinavian current maintains excellent water quality and the distinctive clarity of Nordic light illuminates the granite island seascape. The Bohuslän coast's outdoor bathing culture — open-air sea swimming from smooth rock outcrops is a Swedish national ritual — is here complemented by heated thalassotherapy facilities for year-round enjoyment. The combination of Swedish west coast maritime landscape, chloride seawater therapeutic bathing, and the excellent seafood and shrimp cuisine for which the Bohuslän coast is famous throughout Scandinavia makes this one of Sweden's most characterful coastal wellness destinations.
