Time to Relax
15/11/2018
It is cold outside and dark. It rains and the heavy clouds steal the light. This is the weather of Scandinavia in autumn. Perfect time to seek warmth in the pleasurable escape of a spa. For me, it is the most relaxing way to spend a weekend or a day off. There are several good places, where I prefer to escape to in the dark month of autumn and winter. The newest I tried is Ilse Jacobsen's Kurbadet in Hornbæk, North of Copenhagen.
Ilse Jacobsen is known for designing fantastic clothes in Scandinavian style, very suitable for the weather, in fact. She has also designed her own little spa. It is modest and simple, purely executed. The location is right on the beach, and if I were there in summer, I would definitely take a walk or a swim. But it poured down when I arrived to Hornbæk, and was delighted to be greeted by a sweet receptionist, who offered me warm tea.
It was a quite day , and I really enjoyed the facilities - sauna, the Roman spa, the whirlpool and the outdoor pool with a whirlpool massage. It is especially exciting - to jump outside in the rainy pool after being heated up in the sauna. It is said to be beneficial for blood circulation, and i feel that it makes my skin glow.
Drinks and snacks are served at the bar table, and while I was sitting in the sauna, I was offered to try one of the scrub creams from Ilse Jacobsen's beauty collection.
I returned home like a new person, but the biggest surprise arrived by GSL next morning! I was gift card, with complements from Ilse. Yes, I will visit Kurbadet soon again!
