Where the Danes holiday
We love Skagen! Slow sunsets over creamy yellow cottages. A light that’s inspired artists throughout the centuries. And most uniquely of all, the seaside town of Skagen is one of the only places in the world where you can physically see two seas collide. That being said, you don't get more Danish than a seaside or beach hotel. Authentic, cosy and always in the most beautiful locations.
