The Well Spa & Hotel

The Well is an adults-only spa and hotel complex in Sofiemyr, about 20 minutes outside central Oslo. The 10,500-square-meter facility holds ten pools, a cold plunge, fifteen saunas, a steam bath, a Japanese bathhouse with an onsen, a Hamam and a Rhassoul room, along with a separate treatment department for massages and other bodywork.

Entry is limited to guests 18 and older, or 16 when accompanied by a guardian. The spa runs a day-by-day program: Mondays are built around personal wellness rituals, Tuesdays require swimwear throughout the saunas, steam rooms, pools and whirlpools, and Thursdays through the weekend bring themed sauna rituals and alternating hot-and-cold bathing sessions. Sauna and aufguss rituals are scheduled hourly across the week, and the calendar also includes theme weekends and occasional social events like a monthly pub quiz.

Day passes are available without booking a hotel room, alongside options such as Spa & Breakfast, a mid-day pass, an evening pass, and combined packages pairing the spa with dinner at the on-site restaurant Mori or the Brasserie. Hotel guests can layer on treatments or dining during an overnight stay, and the hotel also runs conference facilities with day packages that include lunch. In the 2026 World Luxury Awards, The Well received nine honors, including Best Luxury Spa Hotel – Global Winner and Best Luxury Spa Getaway – Global Winner.
