Ystad Saltsjöbad Named Sweden’s Leading Resort
Ystad Saltsjöbad has once again solidified its position at the forefront of Sweden’s hospitality industry by being awarded Sweden’s Leading Resort 2025 at the prestigious World Travel Awards. Often referred to as the “Oscars of the travel industry,” this accolade recognizes the very best performers within global hospitality and tourism.
This year’s ceremony took place on October 22, 2025, in Sardinia, Italy, where Ystad Saltsjöbad was honored in front of an international audience of industry leaders, travel experts, and hospitality professionals.
Established in 1993, the World Travel Awards celebrate excellence in innovation, quality, and service across the global travel sector.

Nestled along Skåne’s most breathtaking coastline, near the idyllic region of Österlen, you’ll find Ystad and the iconic Ystad Saltsjöbad – Scandinavia’s premier resort since 1897. This timeless seaside retreat blends classic charm with a refined nautical Newport style, thoughtfully woven into every detail.
Unwind by the beach, take part in curated activities, dip into warm pools and indulge in long, leisurely breakfasts and unforgettable dinners — all set against a stunning coastal backdrop. Best of all? It’s just an hour from vibrant Copenhagen and only 50 minutes from Malmö.
