In 2015, the very first Strøm Magazine was published, born out of a deep desire to extend Strøm Nordic Spa’s mission: to contribute to the balance of people and their communities. While the thermal experience is central to our offer, our vision of well-being extends much further. We believe in a holistic approach to health, where every aspect of daily life contributes to balance.
The magazine has thus become a natural extension of our commitment, a publication in which we share practical tools and in-depth reflections to help our readers achieve a harmonious lifestyle.
More than just a collection of articles, Strøm Magazine is a resource—a gift that our customers can take home, leave on a table to be displayed like a beautiful book, and leaf through as they wish to learn, be inspired, and refocus. Each edition is an invitation to slow down, explore new ideas, and adopt habits that sustainably nurture well-being.
Since its inception, the magazine has been adorned with inspiring images and words written by contributors who are experts in their fields. Together, we’ve explored the notion of balance in all its forms, deciphered wellness trends, and lifted the veil on practices that are sometimes overlooked or controversial. Echoing a fast-growing industry, we have been supporting a population that is increasingly aware of the importance of well-being and looking for solutions that fit their lifestyle.
The magazine also plays a key role in Strøm’s history. With each page and issue, it bears witness to our evolution: the opening of new spas and the development of innovative services and products designed to extend the experience at home. It also provides a behind-the-scenes look at the design of Strøm establishments, telling the story of the places that inspire our architecture and explaining the choices that give each spa its unique identity. It allows our community to follow our evolution and share this wonderful adventure with us.
We are proud to produce a magazine on this scale with our talented teams, thanks to the skill and passion of our loyal contributors, who have become an integral part of the large Strøm family. We are grateful to our partners, who share our values and our commitment to well-being.
While the magazine has evolved over the past 10 years, its mission remains unchanged: to inspire, inform, and guide our community towards a healthier, more balanced lifestyle. This anniversary issue is an opportunity to look back, celebrate the highlights of our journey, and look forward to the future.
Enjoy this retrospective and happy reading!
