The Salt of the Earth

With stunning sea views, a vast private deck and a home sauna, this contemporary pad is equipped with everything you'll need for a memorable stay on Denmark's south coast. There's a strong sense of openness in this house and its verdant surroundings – the flat landscape means the blue skies are particularly special. Spend lazy mornings chatting over breakfast on the sun-drenched deck. If you'd rather dine in the shade, there's a parasol for your comfort. Winter visitors will likely spend more time indoors, where a fireplace and comfortable corner sofa create a cosy ambience. Floor-to-ceiling windows let the outside in, whatever the weather. Pack your beach towel and sunglasses, because Drejet Strand is just a six-minute walk away. This peaceful stretch of smooth pebbles is perfect for paddling. Ten minutes further, you'll find a selection of cafés and shops clustered around Spodsbjerg marina – make the short trip in and pick up some pastries to enjoy back home on the terrace.
