A Swedish Surprise – Mauritzberg Resort, Sweden

245

Tucked away in the picturesque Scandinavian region of Ostergotland lies a Mauritzberg Resort, a place to relax and unwind amongst stunning countryside landscapes.The idyllic location is framed by the sea, which is dotted with smooth rocks and inviting islands. The archipelago is popular with boaters and after a day’s sailing nothing could be easier than to glide into the manor’s guest harbour and tie up the boat for a night or two. Those who venture ashore can enjoy all that the resort has to offer. There are two piers that are located very close to the manor and they have berths for 30 boats.

Visitors to Mauritzberg will be greeted by majestic oak woods and rolling Swedish countryside, but your breath will be taken away at the sight of the 400-year-old manor house as it comes into view on the horizon. The imposing hotel building, which nestles on a hill by the glimmering waters of Braviken bay, is the jewel in the crown of this resort area. The rooms are stylishly decorated with a view of either the sea or the manor’s park. Visitors simply won’t be able to escape their charm. The resort has also added to its accommodation, with a new lodge that looks out onto Mauritzberg’s beautiful golf course.

Golfers are also very well catered for. A round of golf on the famous golf course will lead you along meandering fairways that are guarded by bright white bunkers and an alluring sea view. The 18-hole course is not short of challenges, even for the more experienced golfer. If you feel in need of a break, then the atmospheric clubhouse is the perfect place to revive yourself with an enjoyable lunch.
Popular with weddings, groups and conferences, the hotel has captured the hearts of all those who have visited. If it is tranquillity that you are seeking, you will be sure to find it here amidst the countryside, simply relaxing in the sauna or enjoying a culinary experience in the restaurant.

For the more energetic traveller, there are a number of activities that you can do such as rowing boat out onto the clear waters of Braviken Bay, playing tennis in the manor’s park, cycling, horse riding or participating in wine tasting events.
For those who visit, Mauritzberg really will be a “Swedish Surprise”.
