This is not just a place to stay.
This is a place to slow down, breathe and truly reset.
Welcome to Villa Tree of Life at Lake Skagern in Finnerödja — a peaceful lakeview retreat surrounded by nature, silence and space. Wake up with a stunning view over the lake, walk down to the water, and end your day in warmth and stillness.
Whether you come to rest, reconnect or simply escape the noise of daily life — this place invites you to come back to yourself.
Life slows down here.
Start your morning with tea overlooking the lake, take a refreshing swim, go for a walk through the forest or simply enjoy the silence around you. During the day, there are endless possibilities for outdoor activities, while the evenings invite you to unwind and deeply relax.
On the large terrace you can enjoy the sunset, share meals and prepare food on the BBQ.
A unique feature of Tree of Life is the newly created outdoor wellness area.
Enjoy the wood-fired hot tub and the barrel sauna, both overlooking the lake — a place where warmth, nature and stillness come together.
