As summer fills us with life, fall takes over. Strengthened by rest and lazy days, it is time to rediscover our relationships. The landscape shifts to a warmer scale, leaves cover the ground and the smell of apples and mushrooms fills the air. We harvest, store and cook everything nature provides, serving slow cookery and apple pie with salty caramel sauce.
We light lanterns and candles, play board games by the fire and crochet the scarf several times before going out for an autumn walk. The reeds are blooming with purple shoots. When the reeds bloom, it's fall.
You choose how comfortable you want to be. Do you want to stay at our hotel with sea view and live all inclusive, or stay in one of our beautiful Archipelago houses or villas with self-catering? Or why not combine the best of both worlds - treat yourself in your own Archipelago house and indulge yourself occasionally. Because that's how it is here on Marholmen - you shape your stay just the way you want it. Life is simple on our island.
Winter baths, hot drinks, fire. Snow, hoarfrost, sparkling morning after cold night. Frost-soaked cheeks and hot chocolate with whipped cream. Sofas, blankets, armchairs. The wispy lashes of the reeds remain all winter.
Buds burst, sprout, wake up. Light filters between newly emerged leaves. Feelings of spring, a word that tingles the body.
Spring rush, spring bathing as an awakening, fresh.
The reeds are bright green.
Summer makes us wild and beautiful. Swimming in smooth and soft seas, sun-dried on the dock wrapped in terry cloth. Strawberries, flowers, bright warm evenings. We serve ice cream with strawberries. The reeds are straw yellow.
