The garden is no longer just a pathway between the home and the swimming pool. It is gradually becoming a genuine living space, designed as much for recharging as for entertaining. Driven by the growing enthusiasm for outdoor wellness, this transformation is currently benefiting equipment that is still relatively unknown to the French general public but already iconic among our Scandinavian neighbors: the Nordic bath.
Through its brand Holl’s, Poolstar Group has just launched a collection entirely dedicated to this experience, with the clear ambition of making it a cornerstone of outdoor spas and wellness.
The Nordic bath roots itself in a simple tradition. Immersing oneself in warm outdoor water, regardless of the season, brings back a moment of calm and conviviality. Long reserved for mountain chalets or trips to Finland, this ritual is now establishing a lasting presence in French gardens, driven by an increasing demand for accessible home relaxation experiences. Holl’s seized this trend by developing four models designed to meet different uses.
The Group thus enhances a wellness offering that already included saunas, spas, and ice baths, now delivering a comprehensive range capable of fulfilling every desire for relaxation.
A thoughtful design for lasting comfort
What distinguishes this new collection is the clear desire to bring the Nordic bath closer to spa standards. The structure and cladding made of heat-treated pine offer a natural aesthetic while guaranteeing excellent durability over time, even when exposed to harsh weather conditions. Inside, the reinforced fiberglass tub truly changes the experience. Smooth and comfortable, it incorporates ergonomic seats designed to provide a natural posture during long minutes of immersion.
Its resistance is equally impressive, as it withstands extreme temperatures ranging from minus fifty to plus seventy degrees. A pre-filter completes the setup to preserve water quality over repeated uses, while a five-color LED light allows for personalizing the ambiance according to the time of day.
Two ways to heat your bath according to your preferences
One of the strong points of this range lies in the freedom given to users to manage the temperature. The Poolex O’Spa Flow heat pump, with its integrated circulation pump, enables precise control of the pool, ranging from a hot bath up to forty degrees to a cold bath down to just two degrees. Conversely, the wood stove appeals through its authenticity and fast temperature rise, remaining closer to the original Nordic ritual.
Oskar and Hilda both share the possibility of combining these two technologies in a single bath, each in its own way. Oskar offers a modular system allowing users to freely choose between a wood stove, a heat pump, or a combination of both depending on the season or the desire of the moment. Hilda starts with an integrated wood stove, to which an optional heat pump can be added to enjoy the same freedom of use. This modularity thus makes it possible to favor either the precision of the heat pump or the charm of a wood fire.
Four models, four Nordic bath experiences
The strength of this collection also relies on its diversity. Oskar, with its round shape and six-person capacity, is aimed at households that enjoy entertaining. Its circular seating naturally encourages conversation, while its blower diffuses fine bubbles to enhance relaxation. Hilda adopts a square and contemporary silhouette, designed for four people and equipped with a blower for total immersion.
Olma focuses on simplicity and conviviality with its round shape, complete equipment including blower and chiller, as well as its semi-circular seating optimized for four people. Finally, Vali appeals to couples or those looking for a more intimate moment, thanks to its oval shape, two seats, and face-to-face seating arrangement.
Outdoor wellness as the new garden horizon
By expanding its offering to the Nordic bath, the Holl’s brand confirms a underlying trend: a garden designed as a true outdoor spa and wellness space, on par with a swimming pool or a landscaped terrace. This comprehensive approach by the Group, which now offers saunas, spas, ice baths, and Nordic baths, allows everyone to compose a tailored experience suited to their needs and pace of life.
For industry professionals, this new range also represents an interesting opportunity to integrate into their outdoor landscaping projects. The Holl’s Nordic bath collection has been available since August 2026, via the Poolstar pro portal for professionals and through industry retailers for individuals.
