Ribersborgs open-air bath

As a Mediterranean this was one of my best life experiences. The sea view from the sauna cabins is breathtaking while hot atmosfere calms my body and mind. While I was enjoying this sweet warmth, I didn't think I could bear to dive into the truly freezing sea right after. I was there on 20 of February this year and as It had snowed heavily in the previous days, the sea surface was covered by a thin layer of ice, for at least 100 meters from the coast. I decided to dare, inspired by the local women who did it. First shock, the cold that enveloped my naked body as I stepped out onto the wooden veranda outside the building. The nudity of all of us was liberating and made me feel the pleasure of the cold. The staircase leading down to the sea was covered in ice. First I put my feet in up to my mid-calf and my bones froze. I couldn't stand it. I turned to leave when I saw that on the opposite side of the ocean, the situation was much better, as the wind was dying down. I decided to try again. I went down the steps and plunged into the icy water. The feeling was unique! I didn't even need a towel when I got out of the water. My skin, like everyone else's, was red. Upon entering, I took a cool shower (it felt like it was hot) and repeated the process from the beginning. I returned home by bike through a snowy landscape and the memory of this day will remain unforgettable to me.

What an incredible experience! I’m so glad I visited. I love saunas, but being able to combine them with cold therapy directly in the ocean made it even better. The setup is fantastic — with private areas, easy access in and out of the water, and relaxing hot tubs. It was such a refreshing and memorable visit — truly a highlight of my time in Malmö!

great place for tourists and if you just want to sauna, swim and have a coffee, but the prizes for food and drinks are very high and the men's locker room could use a makeover. some nicely colored tiles and plants doesn't cost that much and would make it much nicer. it's not like the owners can't afford it lmao. they are also bad at answering the phone and there is no wifi.

Love this place for the bathing & the vibe. It’s so special! But I was at a friend’s birthday party tonight & while the food and service were great (kudos!), the sound system kept glitching. I was in charge of the music and the equipment (cables, mics, etc.) was quite disorganized. There wasn’t anyone on staff who knew how to do damage control when connections went bad, or the screen got glitchy while my friend’s partner was trying to show a video he’d put together for her. If you’re going to charge a lot of money to hold an event, you should have staff to make sure the A/V equipment works, and that the guests/customers have what they need. It felt like we were running something at a community center rather than a high-profile, iconic Malmö establishment. We muscled through, though, with help from a bunch of friends, and had a great time anyway. 😊

Lovely place. Always refreshing taking a sauna and getting my pee wee out in front of other guys. Had a lovely time and staff are excellent. Definitely would recommend to people in general that like doing the above.

If you’re in Malmo, this is a must! Don’t be afraid of having to go nude. It’s not weird at all and it all ends up being a really relaxing, chill environment. The locals were really friendly and happy to help as well. Highly recommend!

Beautiful view especially for sunset and very relaxing. Don’t forget to bring a lock for your valuables. I had to buy one at the front desk as it wasn’t possible to rent one. Would definitely recommend.

Was a very cool skinny dip experience with both mix gendered wet and dry sauna and separate women and men in the bathroom. Best experience in Malmo.

Traditional swedish sauna house with one department for women and one for men. Open all year around. wonderfull architecture. The function might not be for me though....
