Building: Early 1900s

Hestraviken Hotel & Spa has been welcoming guests to the forests of Småland since the early 1900s. Set beside the tranquil Nissan River, our timber houses and elegant villas offer individually styled rooms, each with a private terrace or balcony overlooking the surrounding landscape.

At the heart of it all is the Riverside Spa—a calming space with heated outdoor pools, saunas, and treatments drawn from nature. You can even slip into the river for a dip from our jetty. In the restaurant, featured in Sweden’s White Guide, seasonal ingredients and local flavours are paired with a Mediterranean touch.

Whether you’re soaking in the spa, curled up in one of our cosy lounges, or exploring the nearby trails, lakes, and rivers, there’s space here to truly exhale. With hiking, cycling, canoeing, and winter skiing or golf at Isaberg all close by, Hestraviken offers a gentle rhythm of nature, comfort, and quiet adventure.
