Swept Up by the Sea

This classic Danish cabin-style home has a glass front to make the most of its position on the Jutland coast. Just beyond the grassy wilderness, you’ve got a long stretch of sandy beach that goes on for miles, just a two-minute walk away. Head into the little town of Ålbæk, which has a shop for groceries, a couple of restaurants and a train station. It’s a three-minute drive or a twenty-five-minute walk.

The home itself is decked out with everything you need for a luxurious holiday. Beside the home, you’ve got a private indoor swimming pool with a separate hot tub and sauna for spa sessions. You can spend sunny days on the terrace outside, breathing in the sea air from a lounger or dining beneath a blue sky. Those travelling with kids will appreciate the sunken trampoline in the garden and wooden playpark.

Inside, you’ve got a dedicated games room with pool, foosball and a PS4 – the perfect teenage hangout spot – alongside a more formal living room with a wood-burning stove. The kitchen and dining room are open-plan and sunny courtesy of the walls of glass that let the outside in. A palette of lightwood and ink-black throughout keeps everything feeling Scandi-chic.

*The closest grocery shop is 2km away so having a car is recommended
