The Happy Lab

A brand-new wellness concept for companies! Let your employees play their way to better health and happiness together with Laminofly and Farris Bad…

Through joy of food, sleep, focus, movement, mindfulness, and community – all in an alcohol-free setting – we create experiences that feel like play, yet provide lasting benefits in everyday life. “Participants simply go home with more points in their happiness account.”

Farris Bad Spa Hotel

Spa

A large and comprehensive spa department of over 2500 sqm is the heart of Farris Bad. The hotel is the only one in the Nordic region that has established its spa on a real, mineral-rich source. Here you can experience genuine and pure spring water from 55 meters deep in our spring water cave - nutritious and health-promoting. The water takes 20 years on its journey from Bøkeskogen to Farris Bad.

Hotel

The building itself is an architectural masterpiece, with straight lines, high-quality materials, and exciting contrasts. With its 176 rooms and suites, the hotel stands solid and well-executed on pillars above the beach in Larvik.

Surrounded by weather and nature on all sides, Farris Bad is a gem, illuminated by the changing colors of the seasons. The building must be experienced!

Meeting and well-being

Conference at Farris Bad

The short distance from Oslo, Torp Airport, and immediate proximity to Larvik train station places us centrally in relation to conferences with participants from home and abroad. Far enough away for your participants to stay together, and close enough for efficient travel time.

"Recovery creates performance" we claim when meeting our conference guests. Here, both meetings and well-being await each participant.

We constitute a complete conference center and can offer meeting rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and boundless views of the Skagerrak. Good framework for future visions and high goals!

All seasons

A bath in the sea

SPA - Salus Per Aqua - health through water. A dip in the sea can have beneficial health effects all year round. But the key to health and well-being lies primarily in the cold bath.


A freezing cold bath does more than wake you up and improve circulation. The contrast between cold and hot contracts and expands your blood vessels, strengthening the immune system. 

Combine the bath with a visit to the sauna for maximum effect. The shift between cold and hot is one of the oldest and simplest forms of therapy in wellness.

At Farris Bad, we recommend a dip in the sea every single day - or as often as possible.
