Luxury Apartments in Denmark
Harbourside apartments in Copenhagen, from the painted quays of Nyhavn to the beach at Amager Strand
As featured in
A small kingdom, seen best from a Copenhagen window
Denmark rewards anyone who comes for the details: a cyclist in a good coat at a red light, candles lit on a weekday afternoon, an open sandwich arranged as carefully as a still life. Copenhagen is where most of that comes together. It is a royal capital built around water, with canals, a working harbour clean enough to swim in, and the sea a short cycle from the centre.
Our Danish collection runs to 110+ homes, and almost all of them are in Copenhagen: apartments on the quays of Nyhavn and Gammel Strand, flats in the old streets of Indre By and Christianshavn, sea-view homes out by Amager Strand, and a few addresses in leafy Charlottenlund to the north.
Here is how the city divides, what lies beyond it and when to come.

Nyhavn and Indre By for the old city on your doorstep, Christianshavn and Islands Brygge for canals and harbour swimming, the Lakes and Vesterbro for neighbourhood life, and Amager Strand or Charlottenlund for the sea.
Coloured gables and royal corners
Nyhavn was dug in the seventeenth century to bring ships into the heart of the city. Today its quay of ochre, blue and rust-red townhouses is lined with old wooden boats and café tables, and Hans Christian Andersen lived in several houses along it.
Step back from the water and you are in Indre By, the medieval core. Amalienborg, where the guard changes at noon, is a few minutes' walk away, as are the Marble Church and the shopping street of Strøget. Kongens Have, the city's oldest royal garden, surrounds Rosenborg Castle and the crown jewels. Gammel Strand, the old fish market quay, is where many canal tours set off.

Canals, harbour baths and a city beach
Across the harbour, Christianshavn has houseboats, cobbled quays and the Church of Our Saviour, whose spire you can climb by an outside spiral staircase. Further along, Islands Brygge has one of the harbour baths where Copenhageners swim straight off the quay in summer.
To the west, the three Lakes form a long ribbon of water that locals jog and stroll around, with Vesterbro and its old Meatpacking District close by for dinner. Out towards the airport, Amager Strand is a long sandy beach on a man-made island, a quick Metro ride from the centre and a fine place for a morning swim.

Deer park, sea and Elsinore
Charlottenlund is an old villa suburb on the Øresund coast, with a palace garden and a seaside bath. Just beyond lies Dyrehaven, a royal deer park of ancient oaks where red and fallow deer roam freely. It is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its par force hunting landscape.
Follow the coast road north and you reach the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art at Humlebæk, with sculpture on the lawns above the sea, and then Kronborg Castle at Helsingør, Shakespeare's Elsinore and another UNESCO site. Both make easy day trips, and the train reaches Helsingør from central Copenhagen in under an hour.

Smørrebrød, summer light and Christmas candles
Copenhagen eats very well, from lunchtime smørrebrød with herring or roast pork to bakeries selling cinnamon snails and some of the most celebrated restaurants in Europe. The best tables book up weeks ahead.
Summer brings late sunsets, harbour swimming and the Copenhagen Jazz Festival in July, while midsummer is marked with bonfires on Sankt Hans Eve in June. Tivoli Gardens, open since 1843, reopens for Halloween and again for Christmas, when the city is at its cosiest. Our concierge can book restaurants, private guides, canal and harbour boats, and transfers.

The right house, not the nearest one
Copenhagen's apartments sit in very different neighbourhoods, from the busy quays of Nyhavn to quiet streets by the Lakes, and we know which suit a family, a couple or a stay by the sea. With 110+ properties in Denmark, we can usually find the house that suits you rather than the one that happens to be free. Search by size, pool, location and price, or tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a shortlist.
Book direct
You book with us directly, with no booking fees. Questions about access, parking, pool heating or how far it really is to the nearest beach go to people who can find out the answer.
A concierge who knows the territory
Restaurant reservations, private city guides, harbour and canal boat trips, bicycle hire, day trips to Louisiana and Kronborg, and airport transfers. Our concierge team arranges all of it, leaving you free to decide which terrace to sit on.
A house for every kind of party
Couples, families with small children, three generations together or a crowd of friends celebrating a birthday: we match the house to the group, down to the number of bathrooms and whether the pool is fenced.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the best place to stay in Copenhagen?
Nyhavn and Indre By put the old city, the palaces and the canals on your doorstep. Christianshavn is quieter and full of character, the Lakes and Vesterbro feel more local, and Amager Strand and Charlottenlund suit those who want the sea close by.
When is the best time to visit Denmark?
May to September brings long, light evenings, outdoor dining and harbour swimming. December is a fine alternative, with Christmas markets, Tivoli lit up for the season and candlelit cafés.
Can you swim in Copenhagen harbour?
Yes. The harbour has several designated swimming areas, including the harbour bath at Islands Brygge, which are busy on warm summer days. For a sandy beach, Amager Strand is a short Metro ride from the centre.
Can you arrange a private chef at a apartment in Denmark?
Yes. Our concierge can arrange a private chef for a single dinner or your whole stay, along with cookery lessons, guided visits, transfers and restaurant reservations.

Across our 110+ properties in Denmark, weekly rates typically range from £2,600 to £5,100, with the most affordable from around £2,200 a week and the largest estates well above.

These are guide prices based on current listings; each property page shows its own rates for your dates.
