Strana, a picturesque destination in the Bohuslän archipelago, distils seaside life into a boutique experience. Its newly opened Ocean Spa and diverse range of activities make it ideal for large and small groups. As summer visitors depart, the hotel shifts gears for a busy autumn – with the perfect backdrop for inspiration, growth and relaxation.

Strana opened five years ago and quickly became a prime spot for an idyllic stay on the island of Orust. While Bohuslän might be a popular destination in summer, a visit is just as highly recommended during autumn. Though the sun might be in shorter supply, the change of the seasons provides a calmer experience, more closely connected with the surrounding nature. Plus, an even better excuse to enjoy the spa.

Strana: Sea, serenity and scenic inspiration

”Strana Ocean Spa is a completely new space, designed for relaxation. We created it in the same boutique spirit as the hotel with small, intimate spaces for elevated harmony and calm, by incorporating natural materials into the design. Guests can enjoy everything from hot baths and treatments to saunas and lounge areas in a truly exclusive and serene environment,” says Isabelle Carlund, CEO and co-founder of Strana.

The hotel provides excellent conditions for conferences and can accommodate groups from eight to 30 – or up to 100 with an exclusive Strana Takeover. Twelve hotel rooms of varying sizes and eight seaside houses provide comfortable sleeping arrangements. The Ocean Hut provides a unique glamping experience on the water.

Numerous activities can be arranged depending on needs and interests: from RIB boat tours, to yoga classes, wine tasting, kayaking, and more. While the restaurant serves local delicacies from sea and land, cooked with care and expertise, Bassotto Pizza, a stone’s throw away from Strana, provides wood-fired pizzas.

The hotel offers a classic, tailored experience, with an emphasis connecting guests with the surrounding landscape. ”Bohuslän has a very distinct identity, and Strana is designed in the same spirit, with a modern twist,” says Carlund, and concludes: ”We have a sense of calm during the autumn season, and Strana is the perfect spot to reconnect – as teams and individuals.”
