Marholmen has renovated its six villas, a perfect alternative to your own summer cottage. Rent one of the villas for a summer cottage experience with nature, sea bathing, spa and the opportunity to invite friends and family.
Many people dream of having their own cottage where they can spend time with family and friends, but fewer love taking care of a cottage all year round with all that entails. Fortunately, Marholmen offers six villas in different styles and sizes, all newly renovated until spring 2024 with high standards and retained charm. Here you can enjoy cottage life on your own terms; take care of yourself or book a hotel breakfast and meals at the island's restaurants.
All cottages are furnished for socializing with private plots and terraces in the best location. It is located in the middle of the island's beautiful nature with proximity to all the activities offered; from playgrounds, activities, outdoor gym, light trails, swimming piers and spa both indoors and outdoors. Perfect for a relaxing weekend or home holiday.
- We have noticed an increased demand for accommodation that feels like your own, where you can spend time with family and friends and choose the extent to which you use the island's facilities. Our newly renovated villas are just that, like your own summer cottage with everything but without any commitments," says Marholmen's CEO Fredrik Utheim .
Bedas flower bed - beautiful, sustainable and environmentally friendly
In the spring, Marholmen establishes its own flower gardens. This makes them self-sufficient in cut flowers for year-round decoration and allows them to offer activities such as flower binding and self-picking. The initiative is also really good for the environment; it increases biodiversity and Marholmen can stop buying imported cut flowers.
At the moment, Marholmen's local flower supplier Kärodlat is establishing the "Beda's flower meadow" on the island, as part of Marholmen's ongoing sustainability efforts. The new flower meadow means that Marholmen will be self-sufficient in cut flowers all year round and can completely stop buying imported flowers. The cultivation is of course without pesticides and artificial fertilizers.
The new initiative also means that Marholmen can offer activities based on the cultivation, such as courses in arranging flowers in vases and flower binding, as well as self-picking.
- Through our local cultivation, we can completely opt out of the global flower industry's use of chemicals, high water consumption and long transports. We can decorate the entire facility all year round with beautiful flowers that grow naturally here on Marholmen, while increasing biodiversity here on the island," says Marholmen's CEO Fredrik Utheim.
Flower decoration that follows the cycle of the year
When Sara creates Marholmen's flower decorations, she works with fresh flowers from the gardens from June to October, and the rest of the year with dried flowers, year-round greenery and things that can be found in nature.
- There are so many beautiful flowers that can be grown locally here in Sweden, and I don't see the point of importing. The season starts with tulips, daffodils and wild raspberry, wild honeysuckle, moonbeam, hazel and early perennials, and then it rolls on with ranunculus and anemones, the anuals such as larkspur, snapdragon, zinnia, summer mallow, asters, pansies, amaranths, rose hips and eternelles, etc. In early August, the garden's prima donna, the dahlia, arrives. Something we all look forward to!" says Sara Lewell, Kärodlat Roslagen.

Marholmen has been a place for meetings and recreation for over a hundred years. Today it is a modern conference facility that offers archipelago experiences all year round. This fall, "7° Bad & Bastu" opens. Gather the employees for an energizing moment with meetings, baths and team building activities.
Marholmen is an island in Roslagen near Norrtälje with a bridge connection to the mainland. The island is filled with exciting environments from different eras. One time you live and conference in a magnificent Jugendvilla from 1912, the next in the modern hotel or in the cozy cottages. During the warmer months of the year, there are glamping tents for the more adventurous guests.
"The purpose of the meeting determines what is most suitable. Regardless of how the guests stay, they are always close to the sea. Nature is a common thread in everything we do throughout the business," says Bibi Rydbacken, marketing and sales manager at Marholmen.
In recent years, an extensive development journey has begun. They are already well on their way.
"We are developing Marholmen into an archipelago destination where our guests create memories all year round, while carefully preserving the island's soul, nature and history," she says.
In the early 1900s, Marholmen was owned by wholesaler Nils Berg and his wife Hanna. The couple were committed to social issues and donated the island to the labor movement (LO) to build a rest home for factory-working women. In the 20s, a folk education center was also started on the island and that's how it is. - Today we are a meeting place that welcomes both conference and private guests for meetings, rest, swimming and relaxed socializing.
One of Marholmen's strengths is that groups of all sizes feel equally comfortable here. Smaller meetings can have their own villa at their disposal, of which Villa Berg is the largest with 14 rooms. The historic Strandpavilion can be hired for private dinners or Christmas parties for up to 90 people. The largest meeting room accommodates 180 people, while events and kick-offs with many participants can rent the entire island with accommodation for almost 400 people.
"The nature here on the island means that we have fantastic opportunities to customize different types of meetings. A great advantage is that we have our own professional activity team that creates unique arrangements based on each customer's purpose and needs", says Bibi Rydbacken.
New this fall is the outdoor bath "7° Bad & Bastu" where groups of up to 50 people can enjoy hot outdoor baths in tubs, saunas, cold dips in the sea and comfortable lounges. The idea is for guests to spend most of their time outdoors.
"The average temperature during the year here at Marholmen is seven degrees - hence the name. We believe in lots of wonderful brewing and sauna hangouts, all year round and in all weather", Bibi concludes.
