The Well Spa & Hotel

The Well is truly a class of its own. The digital detox experience lets you fully appreciate every part of this place — from the excellent food and delightful drinks to the unforgettable sessions in the Well area. Every detail is thoughtfully designed, and the rooms are warm and inviting. A unique and relaxing destination. I’ve stayed there several times, and it never disappoints.

The Well is a beautiful place, setting in a quiet forest south of Oslo. It's very easily accessible via public transportation. The pools, saunas & spas are bright, clean and relaxing. The staff of the spa, snack bar & reception wonderful. Do make plans to have a meal at the Brassiere restaurant. It's upstairs from the spa/pool area and you can dine in your robe! Evening pass is discounted and starts at 5pm to closing. A great escape from the city while visiting!

Coming by bus for the first time, it was easy and well deserved. The spa is amazing as always and the rituals are so nice. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. The brasserie serve delicious food in a cozy restaurant. The bedroom are spacious, well decorated and the bed 🤩, perfect place to sleep like a baby. Breakfast, there again 100% amazing between the quality of the food, the choices and the welcoming staff. Always a pleasure to have a break at The Well. 🥰

I visited Oslo for a long weekend and had been recommended The Well by other tourists. I visited The Well spa as a day guest on my last day in Oslo (30min by train from Oslo central station) and it was the highlight of my trip so am planning to return as a hotel guest. The woodland setting was stunning with the autumn foliage, the facilities are first class and the staff were all super helpful and friendly. I went on a Sunday in September, and it was pretty busy (I estimate around 150+ guests), but with so many saunas, steam rooms, pools and showers to choose from it was not an issue. The only issue was remembering which robe, towel and slippers are yours, but apart from that, the whole naturist spa experience and the sauna rituals were truly sensational. I cannot wait to visit again!

I had an amazing stay at The Well Hotel near Oslo! The pools were beautiful and incredibly relaxing, and the massages were some of the best I’ve ever had. The spa rules felt a bit unusual to me as a foreigner, but they added to the unique experience once I got used to them. I especially loved the phone detox, which really helped me unwind and be present. The food was fantastic all day long, with two excellent restaurants right in the building. The beds were super comfy, making it easy to get a perfect night’s sleep.

Spa only review. Things we appreciated: - Tesla charger in the parking lot - Smooth check in process - Cell phone-free environment - Large diversity of pools and saunas. We particularly enjoyed the 1930s art deco room. Frustrations have been well documented by other reviewers: - 100 NOK for parking feels like a poke in the eye - they won’t give you a cup for the water dispensers and instead try to force you to buy a water bottle We stayed about 2 hours on a Wednesday night. We had most saunas to ourself or shared with 1-3 people. We found the experience to be unique, memorable, and romantic. Recommend with enthusiasm.

Incredible experience, and I mean it. It was everything I wanted and more. Spotless facilities, a jaw-dropping number of pools, saunas, and hot tubs. Incredibly kind staff behind the counter, from those who served the immaculate food (I had the salmon and it was to die for) to everyone taking care of the place. You get the hang of everything after about a half-hour. I’m not shy when it comes to nudity, and neither were most other people, which made me even more comfortable, especially as someone of color. I wasn’t sure if I’d be stared at or made to feel out of place or anything like that—and I wasn’t at all. Lean into the phone detox, too. It’s a challenge but I am glad that it’s a rule. I visited the Biblioteket bar and I had the most amazing time. My servers were so kind. I’m going to try and visit again before my trip is over.

Highlight of the visit was Nelia’s sound meditation sessions, she is such a great professional, her intense spirit fits perfectly with the energy of the sauna, and she does absolute wonders. A truly magical experience. Thank you Nelia & The Well!

The Well is by far the best spa experience I have ever had. We ended up spending about 5 hours there. Multiple sauna rooms. I did 2 sauna rituals, that were really amazing. The first one was performed by a Russian girl and the second one by a Finnish lady. The music was very upbeat and they both did sort of a dance with a towel. I truly enjoyed it and highly recommend it to anyone that visits Oslo. Definitely the highlight of my trip. I also had a juice that hit the spot. Carrots and ginger.

First I'd like to say, thank you for the availability and the opportunity to stay at your establishment. I had the please to stay for 5 nights and my only regret, I didn't stay longer. Next time, I'm staying for a few weeks. This place is nothing but apart of heaven. The staff were extremely helpful and amazing. Even the other guest guests were very polite and fun to be around. It was a very pleasant experience and well needed. I'd recommend this establishment to everyone. I look forward to rebooking again in the future.

I have been to heaven, it's called The Well! During my 60+ years on this planet, my wife and I have visited numerous spas throughout the US and Europe, receiving hundreds of spa treatments. This spa trumps them all! It's a very special place. No spa or wellness clinic world wide can compare to the sophistication, beauty, professionalism and expertise by the staff and the entire resort. The Well has set the bar so high, I am uncertain it can be topped by any other spa or resort. It's super clean, beautiful and the spa treatments, sauna's, steam baths and hot tubs make you feel like you are experiencing either an out of body experience or in a dream. We spent two weeks traveling from the north cape, all along the coast of Norway, and our visit to The Well was our best experience and made our trip worthwhile. We had two full days of sightseeing in Oslo and choose to trash those plans and spend the entire time at The Well. Our room was clean and queen size bed was very comfortable. Shower was better than any hotel we visited along our two week trip. We dined at the Brasserie restaurant and food/service was the best we experienced along our two week trip. The food and dishes at the Brasserie were better than most Michelin five star restaurants we have ever dined. Even the bar tenders were awesome, drinks were delicious and unique and they were knowledgeable about everything Norwegian. We were their two day and spent every single minute from 8am to 22pm in the spa. Approximately 75-80% of the people there we in Well Swim wear and the other 25-10% were natural. If we lived in Norway, we would be regulars! In my opinion, The Well should be designated a Norwegian national treasure. If I could rate them 100 stars, I certainly would.

This spa does not disappoint. Hands down the best spa that I have ever visited. Multiple steam rooms, saunas, hot tubs, pools, massage jets , out door pools and bar and my favorite was the waterfall cave. I can not describe how gorgeous, relaxing and spectacular this place is. 3 levels of everything you could ever want. Be prepared to stay the entire day as I only was there 3 hours and wished I would have stayed longer. Pay the extra and do the day delux package. You can take the free bus from city center . Amazing, amazing amazing!
