Safety & Etiquette

Sankt Jorgen Park Safety Tips

Sankt Jorgen Park is a fully managed resort with staff on site during all operating hours. The Pool Club outdoor hot bath is maintained at over 30 degrees Celsius year-round; limit continuous soaking sessions to 20-30 minutes in the warm outdoor pool and cool down in the indoor pool or relaxation area between rounds. In cold Swedish weather, the transition between the warm outdoor pool and the cooler outdoor air is a significant temperature change; dress quickly with a robe between pool and changing areas to avoid prolonged cold exposure. Bathrobe and slippers are provided and should be used for all pool-to-facility transitions.

The Ritual Spa is a separate, quieter zone accessed by a different booking; it has saunas, ice-cold showers, and waterfall showers. Follow standard sauna practice in the sauna area: shower before entry, limit sessions to 10-15 minutes, and cool down fully with the ice or waterfall showers before re-entering. The Pool Club and the Ritual Spa are separate areas with separate bookings; confirm which you have access to at check-in. Age 18 applies to the Pool Club independently; guests aged 13-17 may enter only with a guardian.

Book spa and Pool Club sessions directly at sanktjorgenpark.se to ensure Pool Club access is included. Golf tee times, tennis courts, and group fitness classes all require advance booking. The resort closes the spa quarterly for cleaning; check the specific dates at sanktjorgenpark.se before planning a visit. The Grimbo Bus Stop is 200 metres from the hotel; the last bus back to central Gothenburg runs in the evening so confirm return times if using public transport.
