Coolcation

While the rest of Europe searches for shade, fans and air-conditioning, the Swedish archipelago offers something entirely different: a naturally cool, refreshing and restorative escape. A coolcation is about travelling away from the heat and instead finding energy in mild temperatures, sea breezes and long Nordic summer evenings.

We are not alone in this shift. A recent European travel study shows that 28 percent of travellers now actively look for destinations with milder weather and a lower risk of extreme heat. Coolcation is no longer a niche trend but a new way of travelling in a changing climate.

At Sandhamn, you experience the best of both worlds. During June, July and August, the average temperature usually stays between 19 and 21 degrees. In winter, during December and January, the average temperature is typically around 0 to 2 degrees. The fresh sea air, the long-lasting evening light and the natural rhythm of the archipelago, where the sea, the cliffs and the landscape set the pace, create an atmosphere that helps you unwind completely.

Here, summer is less about crowds and heat and more about freedom, space and the ability to truly enjoy every moment.
