Winter on Sandhamn is something truly special. When snow settles on the cliffs and the sea shimmers in pale light, a silence appears – almost magical. It’s as if the island itself breathes more slowly, sharing its calm with everyone who arrives.
Here, there are no demands – only nature’s own rhythm. You walk along the beach, breathe in the crisp air, and feel the stress fade away. The sauna feels warmer, the fire crackles louder, and the conversations linger a little longer. For those seeking something extraordinary, our wood-fired floating saunas await – a moment under the stars with the sea right beside you.
Winter on Sandhamn isn’t cold – it’s clear, beautiful, and contemplative. A time for rest, reflection, and new perspectives.
In May, we open our Orangerie – a bright and green oasis on the west side of the hotel. Here you can sit among the plants and watch the sun set over the sea as the evening slowly unfolds. When the weather allows, we also open the bar on the terrace and front side, where you can sit for a while, feel the spring sun, and watch the island come to life.
Summer on Sandhamn is alive with energy. The harbor wakes early, boats dock, and sails fill the horizon. The air carries the scent of sun, seaweed, and freshly grilled food, while laughter, voices, and music blend with the sound of waves against the docks.
Days are long — people swim from the rocks, paddle between islands, play padel in the evening sun, and meet again over a drink in the harbor. The Orangerie and terrace buzz with conversation and archipelago light, and the aroma of the grill lingers long after the sun has set.
When night falls, the island keeps its rhythm. The bars fill, the sea breeze drifts in, and couples dance their way toward Fläskberget.
Summer on Sandhamn is about togetherness and joy — about sun-warmed days and nights that shimmer long after the music fades.
Autumn on Sandhamn is our favorite season. Summer has left behind a warmth that lingers — not only in memory, but in the very air. The sea, heated by months of sun, keeps the temperature here milder than in the city. It’s as if the island breathes more slowly now, letting everything take its time.
Life on Sandhamn becomes quieter, softer. Morning mist rests over the rocks, the forest smells of pine and rain, and the sky changes color with the wind. You stroll along the beach with a cup of coffee, linger over breakfast, maybe even take a dip — if you dare.
This is when you truly arrive — when calm takes over, conversations deepen, and silence starts to feel like home. Autumn on Sandhamn is recovery, in its purest form.
Our reception team knows everything worth knowing about the island and will gladly share tips on activities and excursions suited to the season. Don’t hesitate to reach out – we’re here to make your stay on Sandhamn even more memorable.
