Housed in elegant 19th‑century buildings, it blends classic Danish beach‑hotel charm with contemporary comfort, a Nordic spa, refined gastronomy and access to a small private beach. It is as suited to romantic escapes and spa breaks as to relaxed family stays exploring Lolland’s countryside and nearby attractions.

Local tips
- Reserve dinner and spa access when you book, especially on weekends, as the restaurants and Nordic spa have limited capacity in the historic buildings.
- Request a sea‑view room in the main house if coastal scenery is a priority; for extra calm and greenery, ask for a garden‑facing room in the outbuildings.
- Pack swimwear and sandals year‑round so you can move easily between the wilderness baths, sauna and the small beach in front of the hotel.
- Use Bandholm as a base to visit nearby attractions such as Knuthenborg Safari Park and Lolland’s northern sculpture sites, best explored by car or bicycle.
- In cooler months, bring layers and a windproof jacket; the sea breeze can feel brisk, but it makes the outdoor hot tubs and sauna especially atmospheric.

Getting There
-
Car from Maribo (regional hub)
From Maribo, expect a 15–20 minute drive to Bandholm Badehotel through flat countryside. The route uses standard regional roads and is straightforward in all seasons. Parking by the hotel and harbor area is typically free of charge but can feel limited during peak summer weekends or major local events, so arriving earlier in the afternoon improves your chances of finding a convenient space.
-
Train and bus via Maribo
Take a regional train to Maribo Station, then continue by local bus toward Bandholm; the combined journey usually takes 40–60 minutes depending on connections. Buses run several times a day but may follow reduced schedules on Sundays and public holidays. Tickets for the train and bus together generally fall in the low to mid double‑digit Danish kroner range per person, and buying a through ticket simplifies transfers.
-
Bicycle from Maribo area
Cyclists can follow minor roads from the Maribo area to Bandholm in about 30–45 minutes, enjoying mostly flat terrain across fields and small villages. Surfaces are a mix of paved roads and occasional cycle paths, suitable for standard touring bikes. Be prepared for wind exposure on open stretches, and carry lights if you plan to return after sunset, as rural lighting can be sparse.

Discover more about Bandholm Badehotel
Seaside elegance on Lolland’s quiet north coast
Bandholm Badehotel occupies a prime spot on the waterfront of Bandholm, a small harbor village facing the Småland Sea on the island of Lolland. The ensemble of creamy, whitewashed buildings with pitched roofs and neat gardens looks directly toward the water, with the harbor, pier and a narrow stretch of beach only a few steps away. On clear days, light dances off the sea and filters into lounges and dining rooms, giving the entire place a soft, coastal glow. The atmosphere leans into classic Danish seaside‑hotel tradition: crisp linens, pale tones, polished wooden floors and fresh flowers, paired with large windows framing either the garden or the sea. It feels secluded and almost village‑like, yet it serves as a practical base for discovering northern Lolland, including coastal walks, open farmland and nearby cultural sights.From royal inn to contemporary coastal retreat
The property began life as a royally privileged inn serving travelers linked to the nearby Knuthenborg estate, before being elevated to hotel status in the late 19th century. Over the decades, it evolved into a traditional badehotel, a place where urban Danes came for salt‑air cures, sea bathing and quiet summers far from the city. A comprehensive renovation of the main building in the early 2020s preserved period details while upgrading rooms and common areas to modern standards. Today, the hotel offers around forty individually styled rooms spread across several historic structures, such as the former royal stables, an old glassworks building, a small manor house and the original main house. Each wing has its own character, from garden‑facing terraces to sea‑view rooms that catch the first light over the water.Rooms with character across several charming wings
Accommodation ranges from compact doubles to larger suites suitable for longer, more indulgent stays. Interiors balance heritage and contemporary design: think classic paneling and soft, muted palettes combined with modern beds, good mattresses and updated bathrooms. Many rooms look out over lawns, courtyards or the harbor; some have small private outdoor spaces such as patios or gardens. Because the buildings are historic, layouts can vary, and each room feels slightly different. Some are tucked under sloping eaves, others open directly onto the grounds. This variety adds to the sense of staying in a characterful seaside residence rather than a standard chain hotel, and it helps the property appeal both to couples on a romantic break and to travelers stopping overnight en route to or from mainland Europe.Nordic spa, sea air and slow coastal living
Behind the main house, a compact Nordic spa area brings the sea atmosphere into the wellness experience. A pair of heated wilderness baths and a barrel sauna sit outdoors with views toward the Småland Sea, inviting year‑round use, whether under a pale Scandinavian summer sky or wrapped in cold‑weather mist. Occasional guided sauna sessions add a ritual element to the bathing culture. The harborfront setting makes it easy to step from the hotel toward the sandy shore for a bracing dip, a stroll along the pier or a quiet moment watching small boats move in and out. The surrounding coastline offers gentle walking, cycling routes and big skies rather than dramatic cliffs, with fields and hedgerows meeting the water. For many guests, the simple pleasures of fresh air, long conversations in the lounge and unhurried mornings over breakfast are central to the experience.Seasonal gastronomy rooted in local Lolland produce
Dining is a highlight, with two on‑site restaurants typically offering different expressions of the kitchen. One leans toward a more refined, multi‑course gastronomic experience, while the brasserie focuses on relaxed yet carefully prepared dishes. Both draw heavily on Lolland‑Falster’s agricultural richness and local producers, using seasonal vegetables, quality dairy, meat and seafood from the surrounding region. Breakfast follows the same philosophy, with a spread that often includes freshly baked bread, local cheeses and charcuterie, fruit and classic hot options. In the evenings, the lounge and bar provide a cozy setting for cocktails or a glass of wine, with soft lighting, comfortable seating and glimpses of the harbor beyond the windows.Gateway to Lolland’s landscapes and quiet attractions
Bandholm Badehotel sits within easy reach of several of Lolland’s understated attractions. A short drive inland brings you to one of Denmark’s best‑known safari parks, while farther along the coast unusual sculpture installations, small churches and manor landscapes dot the countryside. The hotel itself also serves as a venue for small meetings, retreats and intimate celebrations, using its mix of historic rooms, modern facilities and sea views. Whether you are pausing here for a single night on a longer journey, planning a weekend of spa and gastronomy, or using Bandholm as a base to explore, the hotel encapsulates a slower, more reflective side of Denmark’s islands, defined by soft horizons, maritime light and the steady rhythm of the Småland Sea.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
