Sweden

Deep forest and long light, where a stay in the trees counts as a proper holiday, not a novelty.

Boreal forest covers most of the country, and Swedish design culture treats a well-built cabin in it as seriously as anything in a city — architect-designed tree rooms and primitive off-grid huts both count as destinations in their own right, not just a place to sleep between sights.
