Knarrholmen, Private island in Gothenburg Archipelago, Sweden.

The small island features 57 luxury houses and studios, a fine dining restaurant, beaches, rocky areas, and a padel court near the main harbor.

The land was given to Götaverken shipyard workers, who established summer homes on the island, transforming it into a recreational destination.

The restaurant prepares Swedish dishes using ingredients from local forests and seas, including fresh crabs and lobsters caught near the island.

Visitors can reach the island through regular ferry services departing from Saltholmen terminal, making it accessible for both day trips and extended stays.

The island maintains an exclusive environment with a wood-fired hot tub, sauna facilities, and multiple swimming spots along its natural coastline.
