Eriksberg Hotel & Nature Reserve, Sweden

Property details

Experience nature and wellness at a fabulous hotel in the Eriksberg Wildlife Park in southern Sweden - includes breakfast, dinner and wellness access
  • Reconnect and relax: Find your way back to nature at Eriksberg Hotel & Nature Reserve, where protected red deer, European bison and wild boar roam the parkland, and the sea eagle soars across the sky. Take some time out from the hectic everyday to spend a quiet moment in the sauna or floating in the heated outdoor pool, or head out on a safari tour to experience the natural beauty of the wildlife park up close.

  • Local food delights: Dinner is an experience at Havsörnen Restaurant, a gourmet restaurant with a fantastic view over the savannah. At Visenten, which has been voted the best restaurant in Blekinge by the White Guide for several years in a row, à la carte is served with a focus on game in a relaxed and cosy atmosphere. The food is sustainable, regional and always prepared with love and care.

  • Rest on the reserve: There’s plenty to do and see in Eriksberg, and once you’ve worn yourself out, you’ll be pleased to return to your cosy room. Guest rooms have a luxurious country lodge feel to them, with dark woods, plush furnishings and leather details. Safarivillan rooms feature a veranda with a view across the reserve, from which you might spy the grazing animals. The individually-decorated Mahravillan rooms boast a terrace with a view over the dam, where the animals sometimes stop on their way to new pastures.

How to get there

The hotel is rurally located on Sweden’s southeast coast, about two hours’ drive northeast of Malmö. You can reach the hotel by car in less than two and a half hours from Copenhagen Airport. The nearest train stations are Bräkne-Hoby, about a 15-minute drive away, and Karlshamn, a 20-minute drive away; trains from Copenhagen take roughly two and three-quarter hours. You can also fly into Ronneby Airport, which receives direct flights from Stockholm airports daily and is just a 25-minute drive from the hotel.

Spanning across 900 hectares, Eriksberg Wildlife Park is one of the largest safari parks in northern Europe. You can explore the park and come up close with the fauna that inhabits it by booking a traditional guided safari, or if you want to be a bit more active, a bike or walking safari is another way to get around. You can even drive around the park with your own car during public open hours (seasonal - please check dates). Look out for the red and fallow deer, wild boar or the Père David's deer that were introduced in 2014. You can also set out on a special guided walking tour in search of the European bison, a species that has boomed from its numbers of less than 50 in the 1920s to over 6000 in the wild today.

Please note that the park is closed for winter.
