Stenungsbaden Yacht Club, Ascend Hotel Collection

South Bohuslän is the area of Kungälv, Tjörn, Orust and Stenungsund. Two large islands, surrounded by many smaller islands, to the west of a forested mainland, an incomparable natural combination for those who like to indulge in a little of everything. Welcome to South Bohuslän!

When you step through the doors, you will be met by a fresh breeze from the American east coast, where relaxed elegance and empowering outdoor activities complete a broad offering of treatments. Slip into our hot outdoor springs; stretch out in your favourite sauna or curl up in one of the many deck chairs if you simply want to take a moment to relax. If you would rather spend time on your muscles, enjoy a session in the gym or take one of our popular group workout classes. Beach volleyball, golf, an obstacle course and sailing are available for anyone with an urge to be outdoors. Once the winds and activities have taken their toll, our sauna raft is at your service.

Visitors come to The Nordic Watercolour Museum to view exhibitions from all over the world, listen to interesting lectures or enjoy a concert. Our unique coastal site means that you can combine art with a dip in the sea, mingle cultural experiences with good food. You can also visit our open studio to paint for a while.

Open May-September. Along with Lousiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark and Vigeland Park in Oslo, Sculpture in Pilane on Swedish island Tjörn was last year nominated as "10 of the best sculpture parks in Europe" by British The Guardian. The other top 10 sculpture parks are found in Austria, the Netherlands, Ireland, Belgium, France, Germany and Italy.

FOOD IS IMPORTANT TO US. Nowhere else does food taste as good as by the sea. Captain’s Table is our main restaurant; it is both stylish and sporty, with phenomenal views of Hakefjorden and the salty seas. Ordinary bon vivants have been meeting and mingling here since it opened in 1963. Kookaburra is our summer restaurant; think Bohuslän, boathouses and cheerful laughter. With incredible views of salty Hakefjorden, the restaurant is located right on the water and can be used as a banquet hall or conference venue year-round. As a conference guest, you will be served breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared with locally grown and seasonal ingredients. During the conference, we serve our popular Swedish fika with organic coffee and homemade biscuits, providing you with energy that lasts all day. A full board and lodging package includes morning coffee and snacks, lunch, afternoon coffee and snacks, and dinner.
