Yggdrasil Farmhotel Retreat, Spa & Yoga

Yggdrasil Farmhotel sits on a farm-style property at Straumsbukta outside Tromsø, with a full-service spa that anchors around the guest sauna and a hot tub. The sauna is electric and shared between guests as part of the spa offering, opening with drop-in access after a day spent whale-watching, hiking or seeing the coast. The sauna at Yggdrasil Farmhotel pairs with a hot tub, garden, picnic area and the rest of the on-site spa — the natural rhythm is heat in the sauna, time in the hot tub, then a slow seat in the garden as the Arctic light shifts. The hotel was built in 2014 and runs as a calm retreat-and-yoga property. Yggdrasil Farmhotel is a strong base for travellers near Tromsø who want a real sauna built into a slower, spa-led stay rather than as an afterthought in a city hotel.
