Knarrholmen

Knarrholmen is a small private island in the Gothenburg Archipelago featuring 57 luxury houses and studios, a fine dining restaurant, sandy and rocky beaches, and a padel court. The island sits near the main harbor and offers multiple recreational facilities.

The island was given to workers of the Götaverken shipyard, who built summer homes there and transformed it into a recreational destination. This origin shaped what the island remains today.

The restaurant serves Swedish dishes made from ingredients sourced from nearby forests and waters, featuring fresh crabs and lobsters caught in the surrounding area. The kitchen reflects a direct connection to the island's natural surroundings.

The island is reachable by regular ferry services from Saltholmen terminal, making it accessible for day trips or longer stays. Checking ferry schedules is a good idea before planning your visit.

The island features a wood-fired hot tub and sauna facilities positioned along its natural coastline. These amenities offer a distinctive experience within the archipelago.
