    Very cool experience if you know what you're doing! Pay in the restaurant before entering the bathing/sauna area. We visited in April and most of the women's side was empty. After walking through the door, stay to your left and walk nearly the whole way down the boardwalk (past many individual changing rooms) to access a big changing room with small lockers on your left just before the building with the saunas. The view from the saunas was very cool and you can swim in the sound or in little protected pools closer to land.

    Great place to relax and unwind. I always bring visitors to Malmö here to enjoy the food and the sauna experience. The friendly staff is an added bonus to the experience. If it's your first time, note that the male and female sections are separate. Genders are mixed once a month and when the mixed middle sauna is open. Bring your own towels to save some cash.

    I just loved this place. I was doing some pictures to the bridge and luckily I found this sauna. The experience of swimming in the ocean and mix that with a sauna is just celestial. You will appreciate the view and the sunset from here, while being relaxed and renewed. I would give it 5 stars, but I missed the chance to get food inside the place, maybe being able to order some fresh juice, a sandwich, and also beside the rules written on the wall, some suggestions, like if you want a massage, or you need something, what to do or who you can contact. But again, if you are in town, you must visit this place. You can rent a towel here and also get a lock. slippers/ flip flops are not provided neither offered for renting, mind that when you come. Enjoy!

    The best open air bath I have been to. Lovely sunbathing decks, safe access to water, nice cafe where you can get your drinks that you can take to the bathing decks. Saunas are big enough for everyone and they have picture windows looking out over Oresund towards Denmark. It was a really great experience!

    Amazing location. Very refreshing experience. The idea of being fully naked was confronting. But it felt so natural as we walked in. Plus only the wet sauna is mixed, the dry saunas and other areas are separate for males/females. I totally suggest visiting this place.

    Nice and relaxed atmosphere. There's queer days, where you can freely pick either ladies or gents locker room, aimed at trans/non-binary ppl.

    It cost 80 SEK. There are 2 common/mixed gender saunas(the wet one and the salt/infrared) and 2 dry saunas(one quiet/one free) and 1 big cauldron of hot water that's outside, kinda jacuzzi style. You can dip in the ocean or just wait in the wind if you want the cold part. Bring 2 towels, one for showering and a small one to sit on. Shower gel is not provided. If you're a foreigner, make sure you're cool with nudity

    Push yourself out of your comfort zone and do this. It was exceptional, clean and completely different from United States societal views on nudity. I loved it here. Also, you get to keep your lock at the end. Tips: -bring body wash and toiletries to shower after -bring sandals - no swimwear allowed IN the saunas, seriously. - swimwear is allowed outside but no one is really wearing anything. - bring a book or some headphones to read and/or listen to music while you sunbathe on the decks - there is a men’s side and women’s side. However, they have a coed sauna as well (still no swimwear)

    I found this place by accident. I was visiting Malmö for a few hours while staying in Copenhagen and decided to just go and see the beach. It was a cold and windy day and I didn‘t have anymore plans, so I thought I‘d just give it a go. I didn‘t have a towel with me, or a lock, or anything, but luckily these things are available for rent / purchase when entering the place. What a great and relaxing experience it was. The sauna was fantastic, and the swim in the cold sea afterwards was just great. I envy everyone who gets to do this every day.

    My favorite place in Malmö during the summer and weekdays, great place to relax, enjoy the sun and the sea without the hustle of dealing with the sand

    Great atmosphere. Beautiful bathouse with several saunas, very friendly and helpful staff. Also everything was kept very clean and safe.

    I generally love the place. But two times in a row I book a massage and it's cancelled in the last moment - on the same day. Considering you have to book well in advance and if you cancel in less than 24h before you still have to pay, I find it very rude and unpleasant that my bookings have been cancelled without any explanation or apology two times in a row.

    The evening we visited, a private event was going on so we couldn’t experience the full facility. But it was still beautiful to swim in the Baltic and warm up in sauna which has an incredible view. Go on a weeknight and it will be less crowded. Kind of confusing about what is expected. Most people were swimming nude. Don’t be like us and wear your swimsuit in the sauna—people were upset and then we saw the rule against it posted on the wall.

    It was a sunny autumn Saturday. All the saunas were completely full. You had to wait outside in line to then squeeze your bum among other naked people. Nothing against nakedness, but a bit more distance would be preferable. Must be I'm a nordic person, but I like my space. At least the sea was not crowded, many choosing not to go for that refreshing dip. Also, the sauna facilities are so outdated. Incomparable to the modern saunas, for example, in Helsingborg.

    A visit to this bath house provides the epitome of relaxation. Laying on the dock, one feels the warmth of the sun, the smell of the sea, and the sound of the waves. There are a variety of saunas. My favorite part, however, was being able to swim in the sea. There is a floating platform maybe 50 meters from the dock where you can sit or jump from. Being here gave me a deep sense of calm. I left feeling light and refreshed. If you are considering visiting here, I highly suggest you do.

    This place is amazing, I will be back if I ever visit Malmö again :) There are separate sections for women and men and everyone is naked. There are several saunas and direct access to the sea. Everybody was nice and polite, a very relaxing and beautiful experience.

  • 4/5 Jo K. 5 months ago on Google
    Super nice old bath house with dry saunas (two same gender, one mixed) and a steambath (mixed). The small whirlpool is only open from Thursday to Sunday. Unfortunately there is no extra room for relaxation and a pause from sauna during the colder days, maybe for historical reasons. If you are into sauna I recommend a visit nonetheless.

  • 4/5 Teppo P. 5 months ago on Google
    Nice old fashioned sauna. It is a shame that you cannot pour water on the stones (-1 star). Only one sauna has automatic water pouring. The view is super nice from the 3 saunas. Nice swim. Food is ok.

  • 5/5 Peter 11 months ago on Google
    An unbelieveably relaxing experience. Luckily it was a sunny day when we visited, which really helped. I could only stay for a couple of hours, but would happily have stayed longer if I could.

  • 5/5 Zack 6 months ago on Google
    As a local, I come here to relax, especially during the summer season, to avoid the crowds on the beach, and for an opportunity to be naked, enjoy the saunas and a refreshing swim. Before I start, I usually begin with a lunch, which is a bit costly, but substantial leaving you satiated . Spending a couple hours or longer at the bathhouse through this your soul, and leave you refreshed with an urge come back for more .

    One of my best things in Malmö. I've been to many spa's and sauna's around the world and this is right up there. If I lived in Malmo I would frequent Ribersborg most days. Very relaxing.

  • 4/5 Carl G. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice setting but a bit tired with limited atmosphere (albeit probably not why people come here). We had a ‘dagens’, comprising of three lukewarm meatballs and potatoes, all a bit underwhelming yet reassuringly pricey as tends to be the way in Sweden! On balance would probably go back, but mostly for the views.

  • 4/5 Ingunn O. 1 year ago on Google
    Kallbadhuset is a wonderful and unique place for sea bathing and sauna. I love this place even though the restaurant leaves you a bit disappointed. Without this location I think it would barely manage. The personal is lovely an always ready to help or just have a friendly chat.

  • 5/5 mateeullah t. 1 year ago on Google
    The most amazing place for SPA. Sea view from multiple spas and cold dip directly in ocean. Very cheap to go in for such an experience. A MUST VISIT IN MALMO.

  • 5/5 D. P. 1 year ago on Google
    Entrance fee was roughly £7 Locker with key is £3 You are able to KEEP the key for yourself afterwards when I visited. Sauna was very nice, jumping into the salty baltic sea is fantastic for a cold plunge. After spending roughly 3 hours here I will 100% visit again. The cafe is nice too :)

  • 5/5 Talia M. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a cool place, highly highly recommend. Read the rules on their website first if you are not familiar with sauna protocol, it was helpful. Bring/get 2 towels 1 for sauna and 1 for shower. The Baltic sea is freezing in the winter but the experience was so worth it. My skin has never felt so soft and I had the best night's sleep afterwards.

  • 5/5 Bauke B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing sauna and outside swimming occasion. If the wind is not too hard, you can swim in the ocean, but they have a encapsulated section for when the wind is too much. There's thee saunas for each gender, of which 1 is shared (total of 5).

  • 5/5 Raul V. 1 year ago on Google
    Best sauna in Malmö. A great sanctuary for your body to recover.

  • 5/5 alex g. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little sauna. It's tiny, but very beautiful with a view to the ocean. It's separated for man and woman. Bring your own towels and a lock for your safety deposit box.

  • 5/5 Severin K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very beautiful place to take a bath or just relax with your eyes looking at the stunning sea & area surrounding Malmö.

  • 5/5 Julius J. 1 year ago on Google
    Really beautiful spot with nice saunas. However it was a little bit crowded, probably because we where there on a sunday afternoon!

  • 5/5 Mirja P. 2 years ago on Google
    A beautiful place, to recharge your soul. The sea ,the sauna, the tasty food and the peaceful envoironment, are all worthy to experience at Ribersborgs kallbadhuset in South Sweden

  • 2/5 GregB 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place, but way too crowded every time all the time - should expand the dry hottest sauna space (most popular).

  • 5/5 Ankkit M. 2 years ago on Google
    think of it as a public bath sauna that’s in the sea with good food

  • 5/5 Veronica R. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely this place is worth a stop, both for breakfast or lunch, since food is delicious, all cakes amazing and the atmosphere unique !

  • 5/5 Elieska 2 years ago on Google
    Perfect sauna! Back to basic/nature: a few sauna's, a beautiful view over the water and (on clear days) on Copenhagen, access to the Oresund for a refreshing dive between sauna sessions.

  • 4/5 Misa M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place to relax for a great price. Sauna has window with view of sea. You can choose quiet or speaking sauna. Unfortunately to many people were visiting bath too.
