About

Copenhagen's new public water culture house on Papirøen (Paper Island), designed by Kengo Kuma & Associates. Ten pools across three levels, including a 25-metre fitness pool, an outdoor Valley Pool between the brick towers and a heated onsen overlooking the harbour. The first-floor wellness area has three saunas, a steam bath, a therapy pool, a hot pool and a cold plunge. Entry is priced like Copenhagen's other city-run swimming halls (expected under 100 DKK). Children under 7 swim free on the ground floor with a paying adult. No food or drink is sold on site; cafes are nearby on the island. The harbour bathing zones on the timber quay open in early 2027.
