Just back from an intense weekend, most of which was spent working on the island of Orust where I shot interiors, exteriors and four SPA models at coastal hotel Nösund Havshotell. The beautiful Mia above was the first model and she was clearly enjoying the spectacular seaside surroundings during Friday’s shoot. Just as the Christianssons, Richard, Malin and Ida did on Saturday.

Nösund Havshotell itself encompasses everything that I think make this coastal region so wonderfully special and visit-worthy. In addition to the main building where the restaurant and stage is – the hotel attracts some the country’s finest musical acts during the summer months – there’s also a half dozen or so beautiful wooden houses and cottages, rickety piers and cute bathhouses scattered along the picturesque bay. Nösund is like the retreat you don’t want to leave. The vibe is laidback, the food and service is superb and the staff make certain you feel right at home from the get-go. And the there’s the spa…where a triplet of hot tubs, saunas and a generous deck overlooking the ocean – and where a few ladders allow you to sink into it – ensure you’ll be fully relaxed before checking out.
