Urnatur – Swedish Getaway

Urnatur, which basically translates to “out of nature,” is a Swedish forest getaway, where visitors can stay in cabins and spend time re-connecting with nature. But it’s also a design firm that believes in the beauty and simplicity of nature and crafts incredible pieces that capture the pure essence of the natural world.

Self-described as a “poem of Swedish nature” the Urnatur compound has all kinds of living spaces from a moss cabin to a treehouse, complete with a wood fired sauna. You certainly won’t find any traces of stress in this eco-getaway; the handcrafted cottages and treehouse are without electricity, ensuring a stay focused on simplicity. The team at Urnatur also makes their best efforts to bring its surroundings into the kitchen, whether it it’s fresh lamb from their flocks or a delicious dessert topped off by wild berries picked from the local forests.

You can also spend your time learning more about nature by taking part in Urnatur’s various activities, which include learning how to make a fire with nothing but sticks or even a forest spa. And after a long stay, you’ll want to pass through Urnatur’s store, where you can take some nature inspired design, from interior textiles to lanterns, with you home.
