Tucked away among smooth coastal rocks and the salty sea breeze, where the archipelago meets the sky, you’ll find Hankø Hotel & Spa – a haven of tranquility, experiences, and timeless coastal charm. Since 1877, this magical island retreat has welcomed royalty, sailors, artists, and bon vivants, all drawn to its unique atmosphere and ever-changing beauty.
For generations, the shuttle boat has carried visitors across the water to breathe in the fresh sea air, unwind, and recharge. From the island’s first seawater baths to today’s modern amenities, the hotel has always been a place of relaxation and adventure. Its rich history lingers in the scenic outdoor spaces and the inviting atmosphere, where activity and serenity blend seamlessly.
Today, the hotel offers a perfect combination of wellness and outdoor pursuits. Enjoy the wellness area with a pool and sauna, play a round of tennis, take a coastal walk, or experience the beauty of the archipelago from the waterfront. Hankø Hotel & Spa is also a sought-after venue for weddings and special celebrations.
