We are building an even better Marholmen!

At the beginning of May, the start of a planned remodeling and extension of our main building here on Marholmen. The reason we are doing this is partly because our existing kitchen is simply worn out and not dimensioned to take care of as many guests as we receive every year here on the island. Secondly, our ventilation system needs to be replaced with a more modern and sustainable version. And while we're at it, we're taking the opportunity to do a whole bunch of other things that will further enhance the experience for you as our guest. Construction is expected to be completed in spring 2026.

What are we going to do?

  • The main entrance. We are moving the main entrance to the middle of what is today the terrace for a more welcoming feeling and first impression for those who visit Marholmen.
  • Reception & lobby. We build in what is currently a courtyard and create a new reception area with larger lobby areas with cozy seating areas and a large fireplace directly adjacent to the hotel rooms. From here we also create a new entrance to Mareld Spa - no more pawing in bathrobe in long corridors :)
  • The kitchen. The entire kitchen is being rebuilt to a state-of-the-art standard that is tailored to the needs of our employees so that we can efficiently and sustainably create dining experiences across the island.
  • Restaurant & Bar. Being remodeled to create a better guest experience and feel for both individual guests and larger groups.
  • Mareld Spa. The entire spa is being renovated and updated with new content to create an optimal spa experience.
  • Building services engineering. Ventilation and other building technologies are being replaced for better and more sustainable building operation.

Construction is expected to be completed in spring 2026.

How will this affect you as a guest?

Not at all or even better than today, is our ambition and hope! The construction will, as far as possible, take place behind the scenes and we will do everything to ensure that you as a guest with us during the period will not be disturbed at all by the ongoing construction work.

  • Food & drink. All food & beverages for both residents and visitors will be served at the beautiful, historic Grosshandlartorget during the construction period. An experience in itself!
  • Accommodation. If you have booked a Cabin, one of the villas, a pitch, or are staying in a glamping tent or in Villa Berg, you will not be affected by the rebuilding at all.
  • Hotel rooms. Those staying in the hotel rooms in the main building will also not be disturbed as the work is adapted to not disturb resident guests, i.e. no loud noises during early mornings or late evenings.
  • Mareld Spa. When the Mareld Spa closes on June 1, the incomparable natural bath experience 7° Bath & Sauna will take over. Here too, you will be able to book for selected spa treatments.
  • Conference. We will receive conference groups of up to 70 people for meetings, conferences and kick-offs as usual during the construction period and also offer alternative solutions ex Festival Conference for groups up to 140 people.

In the meantime, we are open as (un)usual!

During the construction period, our restaurant & bar will open on Grosshandlartorget (the area around Grosshandlargården and Strandpaviljongen), which will give the dining experience a new and extra dimension in the historic buildings.

From May 5, our restaurant will move to Grosshandlartorget and serve the following:

  • Breakfast buffet. Served here during our regular opening hours >>
  • Lunch of the day. Served daily from 11.30-14
  • Bistro menu. Served daily from 14-17
  • Evening menu. Served from 17-21.30
  • Wholesale Dinner. Replaces the Marholm dinner during the period and is served for those who have booked a hotel or conference package that includes dinner daily from 17-21.30

Dogs are of course welcome here, as usual. Please note that we can only accept a limited number of dogs, so please let us know in advance.

News! We open the Summer Restaurant from June 18. Read more below.

We're finally opening a summer restaurant!

It may not look very exciting here in the picture, but under the surface it is bubbling with plans! On June 13, it will be the premiere of our new Summer Restaurant here at Marholmen. The summer restaurant (as yet unnamed) will serve food, drinks, coffee & ice cream from morning to late evening at Grosshandlartorget.

At last, many say! We know that many of our guests have longed for this. On June 18, it will be a long-awaited gathering point for the whole of Roslagen. We promise that it will be popular, festive - and hopefully - crowded. Help us spread the word!

 

Dates: June 18 - August 17, 2025
Opening hours: every day from 10:30 to late


Sommarkrogen replaces the former Sommarkafét. Boats, canoes, rackets, balls, golf clubs etc will continue to be available for hire as usual.

It was 1917 when Selma Blomberg, a widow and single mother, came ashore here on Marholmen. She had worked hard all her life, but here awaited something that was unique at the time: two weeks of rest, free of charge, thanks to wholesaler Nils Berg and his wife Hanna donating part of Marholmen to the Swedish Trade Union Confederation LO in 1913, under the condition that they would create a place where working women could come to recover. Today, on International Women's Day, we offer an extra warm thought of gratitude to all those who have gone before us and fought for everything we take for granted today, such as statutory holidays and the right to vote. marholmen #roslagen #international women's day #women's history

CEO Fredrik Utheim has the floor

Developing Marholmen into our vision - to become Sweden's best archipelago destination - all year round, is both an incredibly fun and incredibly challenging task for all of us who work here at Marholmen. We have set a very ambitious plan that extends to 2027 for how we will get there, and now the time has come to take the biggest and most challenging step - to rebuild and expand the main building.

Now it's up to us to make sure that you as a guest are disturbed as little as possible (and preferably not at all) during the construction period and I and all the employees here at Marholmen will do everything to make it so. And I can already promise that it will be worth it! When we are through this period, Marholmen will offer a better guest experience than ever before, while you who are a returning visitor to us will recognize "your Marholmen".

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments you would like to share along the way.

 

Yours sincerely

Fredrik Utheim, CEO
