Great Northern spa and golf resort
Kerteminde, Denmark

Great Northern Spa is located between two fjords on the outskirts of Kerteminde, forming part of the wider Great Northern destination. Commissioned by Thomas Kirk Kristiansen, the 4,500 m² spa is designed as a calm retreat shaped by nature, light, and stillness. The architecture supports rest and restoration through a palette of stone, wood, and metal, echoing the surrounding landscape. Full-height windows draw in the changing Nordic light, while every surface and transition is crafted to slow the pace. Warm pools, quiet lounges, and contemplative spaces form a cohesive sequence grounded in materiality, rhythm, and a quiet sense of care.
