Åhus Seaside

Skåne


You can't go past the waterfront position of this old-school seaside resort, which at the time of writing was in the process of transforming itself into a new-school seaside resort. Check out the website to see where it's at – you'll likely nab a retro beachfront bargain if progress comes slowly. The property has two wings...it's the waterfront one that you're after.
