Ocean Hotel, Falkenberg, Sweden

• Coastal cool: Ocean Hotel is modern and beautifully designed: the boutique lodgings feature 37 rooms, all fantastically spacious and light in a palette of muted coastal colours, and many have captivating views out to sea. It’s a magically restful place that encourages all guests to slip their shoes off, put their toes in the sand and relax.
  
  
• Beachfront dining: The hotel’s restaurant also overlooks the beach, with panoramic views over the sand and out to sea. Menus change with the seasons and wines are selected by the sommelier – there’s always something to pair with the traditional Swedish dishes. The hotel’s pub shows sports games and hosts quizzes, and there’s a wine bar with tastings and bistro-style food.
  
  
• Entertainment for all: If the sea views and delectable dining aren’t enough to hold your attention, or the weather’s not playing ball, head to the hotel’s very own cinema to catch up on classic films. Falkenberg’s famous for its many nature reserves, all with fabulous walking trails, and the hotel’s sauna is the place to unwind after a bracing coastal stroll.
