About the Island
This island retreat has been meticulously designed to honor both the stunning landscape and the island’s unique character. The architecture follows the natural contours of the land, ensuring that nature’s beauty remains at the forefront of the experience. With a focus on creating emotional, memorable moments rather than just offering a physical destination, the island presents a true sanctuary, where every visit offers a chance to reconnect with the Earth.
The island spans 2 hectares (5 acres) and stretches gracefully with three arms towards the north. The island’s main structures, beach, and jetty are located in the northeastern corner, but the entire island is easily navigable with duckboards and thoughtfully placed steps, ensuring ease of access to every corner.
Facilities
Though remote, the island offers every comfort of modern living, combining self-sufficiency with luxury. Here, you’ll find everything you need—and more.
Master Bedroom: Enjoy panoramic sea views from two directions, with a high ceiling, air conditioning, and blackout curtains that ensure a peaceful and restful sleep.
Master Cabin Loft: With skylights above, you can gaze at the stars or watch the clouds drift by from your peaceful nest above the water.
Workshop Extra Bed: Perfect for those seeking a unique sleep experience, this space in the workshop offers total privacy, air conditioning, and a water faucet for added convenience.
Workshop Loft: A cozy retreat with a reading lamp, offering a quiet and comfortable space above the workshop.
Outdoor Kitchen: Positioned between the covered outdoor area, the house, and the sauna, this kitchen is ideal for BBQs, pizza-making, or smoking fish. A dining table for four completes this outdoor cooking paradise.
Pavilion: Serving as the island’s restaurant space, the pavilion features a professional-grade kitchen designed for social cooking. With seating for 12, it's perfect for enjoying communal meals with a view.
Campfires: Scattered throughout the island, several campfire spots allow for open-fire cooking, so you can enjoy peaceful moments with the right ambiance, no matter the wind direction.
Dining
On the island, dining is a flexible, enjoyable experience, free from the constraints of a fixed menu. Whether you crave wild delicacies, vegan dishes, or Neapolitan pizza, you have the freedom to bring your own provisions and cook however you choose. Explore open-fire barbecuing or delight in the rich flavors of smoked fish. Alternatively, let the island’s talented chefs pamper you with locally sourced cuisine, rich in the clean flavors of the Archipelago.
Our culinary experts have established close relationships with local suppliers, ensuring that every ingredient is as fresh and local as possible. Foraged ingredients and traditional preservation methods, like fermentation and smoking, capture the very essence of the Archipelago’s short but glorious summer.
Should you desire a change of scene, there are exquisite restaurants nearby, and we can arrange transportation for you to experience more of the region's culinary offerings.
Activities
While your primary task on the island is to disconnect from the world, there are ample ways to reconnect with nature—and with yourself.
The Beach: This secluded sandy beach is framed by dramatic rocks, creating a calm atmosphere perfect for unwinding. The shallow waters provide a safe space for children to play.
Boating & Kayaking: Explore the nearby canals and islands with a rowing boat or kayak. For those wishing to venture further, we can arrange a rental boat with a skipper to guide you on a longer journey.
Island Hopping: Let our expert partners curate unforgettable boat excursions around the archipelago. Visit notable destinations such as Bengtskär, the tallest lighthouse in the Nordics, and Örö, a former military island now a welcoming guest harbor. Discover Aspö, a picturesque village where you can buy fresh seafood directly from local fishermen. These excursions are perfect for day trips or overnight stays.
Handcrafts: The island’s workshop is equipped with an array of hand and power tools, as well as materials for your creative endeavors. We can even arrange for a local artisan to guide you in crafting your own souvenir.
Hot Tub, Sauna & The Sea: A day on the island isn’t complete without a visit to the hot tub and sauna. Alternating between these rejuvenating experiences and the refreshing sea offers an unparalleled sense of relaxation. Feel free to indulge as often as you desire, embracing the soothing rhythm of nature.
