"FOR THE LOVE OF BRIGHT SUMMER NIGHTS"

SUMMERTIME WITH LOUISE AND KENNETH TOFT-HANSEN

To Louise and Kenneth Toft-Hansen, owners of the celebrated Svinkløv Badehotel in northern Jutland, summer is a season that fully awakens the senses. "When you live in nature as we do, all seasons are very distinct and noticeable both visually and sensorially," explains Louise. "But what's especially unique here are the long, bright, beautiful nights. It almost feels as though night never truly falls."

“I LOVE THE DAYS WHEN I’M THE FIRST TO WAKE UP, AND I SNEAK DOWN TO MAKE A CUP OF COFFEE AND SIT ON OUR SELANDIA BENCH ON THE TERRACE.”

For the Toft-Hansen’s, curating these intentional outdoor living spaces is key to experiencing summer's fleeting splendour to the fullest. As Louise muses, describing her perfect summer day, "Breakfast on the terrace, a walk to the beach, enjoying delicious homemade koldskål, the children playing at the forest's edge as we savour the most beautiful sunset over the North Sea. The perfect day."
