Please note
Eriksberg Hotel and Nature Reserve is a 1,348-hectare estate with several lodgings, one of which is The Ark, so you’ll cross paths with the resort’s other guests in the communal areas, such as the restaurants, bars and sauna.
At the hotel
Indoor and outdoor gyms; sauna; farm shop; herb garden; seasonal walking trail, and free WiFi throughout. In rooms: TV with Chromecast, climate control, Nespresso coffee machine, tea-making kit, minibar, free bottled water, bathrobes, slippers and bespoke bath products.
Our favourite rooms
It’s smooth sailing on board The Ark at Eriksberg, where each balcony-toting room overlooks the savannah, which changes throughout the seasons — in winter, the sea flows into the bay; grazing animals dot the dry land in summer. And your green-minded hosts have brought nature indoors, too: an earthy palette, floor-to-ceiling windows and local-wood furnishings decorate the Double Rooms. The three individually styled Suites each reference a natural element: Himmel nods to the sky with its atmospheric blue details and cloud-like rugs; monochrome Urberg is a canvas of local stone, and Skog is a forest fantasy with a tree-trunk-framed bed and mossy textures.
Poolside
You’ll find the petite pool on the terrace outside the relaxation area. It’s open from 8am until 10pm for heated dips that overlook the nature reserve, and there are dedicated hours for families.
Packing tips
There’s no need for binoculars or telescopes: you’ll find both in your room. Leave the wildlife books behind too — Eriksberg has its own app, which you can download for audio guides and maps of the reserve.
Also
If hiking trails and walking safaris don’t scratch your fitness itch, there are two gyms: one is decked out with Technogym machines; the second is outdoors and has wooden kit.
Pet‐friendly
Pooches are welcome in some Double Rooms for SEK350 each a stay, or one of the Suites for SEK1,050 each a stay. See more pet-friendly hotels in Blekinge.
Children
Welcome. Double Rooms take an extra bed, and up to two children can stay on a double sofa-bed in a Suite. There’s a playground and safari park, plus little Smiths aged four to 15 are welcome in the pool from 9am–11am and 2pm–4pm.
Sustainability efforts
The Ark at Eriksberg spotlights local materials, including the wood used in its boat-like design and for room furnishings. Bedrooms are heated by a geothermal system; external corridors help to conserve energy; and the sedum roof collects rainwater. The surrounding nature reserve runs rewilding projects, and the hotel’s seasonal restaurants source meat and other produce from the estate. Its name is apt, too: the suspended structure doubles as a shelter for animals, which you can admire from the glass floor-panel in your room.
