The Joy of Six

Gather up your crew and get as close to nature as you can at this swoon-worthy lodge tucked away with the green wilds of Zealand and just 400 metres from the beach.

With its distinctive hexagon layout and sharp design focus, you can tell an architect has been working their magic here. In one hexagon pod, you'll find a light-flooded living space bringing all the Scandi vibes – think wood-burning fire, sofas feathered by the softest sheep skins, and a cosy reading nook beneath a double-height atrium. Things keep getting better over in the interlinking pod, housing a private spa-like pool and bubbly Jacuzzi. And wait until you see the naturally landscaped garden with a trampoline for the kids (and big kids). It's a magical spot to spend an evening with alfresco evening barbecues and stargazing beside the firepit.

Nestled within lofty pine trees, you could feel a million miles from anywhere here. But when the sea comes calling, you're just 400 metres from the vast shores for swimming, kite-flying and picnicking, or journey through the verdant forests bound for Arresø, Denmark's largest lake for watersports action. After a dose of high-style city living? Blaze a trail into Copenhagen for the day – its history-rich, bustling streets and harbour are closer than you think.
