Marholmen develops the guest experience with an extensive renovation and extension

In May 2025, the archipelago destination Marholmen in Roslagen, just outside Norrtälje, will begin a significant renovation and extension of its main building. This major investment aims to enhance the guest experience, improve the working environment for employees and strengthen Marholmen's position as a year-round destination. The work is expected to be completed in spring 2026.

"This investment will take Marholmen to new heights," says Fredrik Utheim, CEO of Marholmen. "Our goal is to offer all our guests an even better stay, while protecting our unique environment and history and preserving the island for future generations."

The planned redevelopment includes several key areas:

• New main entrance and lobby: The main entrance will be moved to create a more welcoming first impression. The new lobby will offer spacious areas with comfortable seating areas and a large fireplace to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
• Modern kitchen: The existing kitchen will be replaced with a state-of-the-art and sustainable facility, adapted to efficiently handle the increasing number of guests and ensure the highest quality of dining experiences.
• Refurbished restaurant and bar: These areas are being rebuilt to offer an improved guest experience and a customized working environment, focusing on both individual visitors and larger groups.
• Updated Spa: The spa is undergoing a complete renovation to create an optimal spa experience.
• Improved building technology: New ventilation systems and other technical equipment are being installed to ensure sustainable and energy-efficient operation.

The developmentis part of Marholmen's long-term strategy and vision to become Sweden's leading year-round archipelago destination and a food destination worth a detour. By upgrading the facilities and implementing modern technology, Marholmen aims to preserve the unique archipelago environment for future generations.

During the refurbishment period, disruption to guests will be minimized through careful planning of the construction work. Accommodation in cabin, villas, glamping tents, pitches or Villa Berg will not be affected at all, while disruption will be minimal for those staying in the main building's hotel rooms. All meals will be served at the historic Grosshandlartorget and a new summer restaurant will be launched in the summer as a natural gathering place. While the spa is being renovated, guests will be offered the 7° Bath & Sauna natural bath experience, where selected spa treatments will be available.

"These improvements will enable us to meet our guests' needs even better and work smarter on several levels. At the same time, we have a chance to review our entire offering and develop new and exciting experiences, not least in food and drink. We look forward to welcoming both new and returning guests to an even better Marholmen," Fredrik concludes.
