We've built an even better Marholmen!

In early May, we kicked off a planned renovation and expansion of our main building here on Marholmen. The main reason we decided to do this was, first, that our existing kitchen was simply worn out and not designed to handle the large number of guests we welcome here on the island every year. Additionally, our ventilation system needed to be replaced with a more modern and sustainable version. And while we were at it, we took the opportunity to make a whole host of other improvements to further enhance the experience for you as our guest.

 

Construction will take place in two phases:

Stage 1 – Done. Restaurant Hermans is open every day ✅

Phase 2 – Complete. Our new lobby area is now ready ✅

Phase 3 – The new Marholmen opens on July 31


What do we do?

  • Main Entrance (complete). We’ve moved the main entrance to the center of what is currently the terrace to create a more welcoming atmosphere and a better first impression for visitors to Marholmen.
  • Reception & Lobby (complete). We’ve enclosed what is currently a courtyard and created an entirely new reception area directly adjacent to the hotel rooms, featuring a larger lobby lounge, cozy seating areas, a lobby bar, and a large fireplace. From here, we’re also creating a new entrance to Marholmen —no more shuffling down long hallways in a bathrobe :)
  • The Kitchen (complete). The entire kitchen has been renovated to a state-of-the-art standard tailored to the needs of our employees, so that we can create culinary experiences across the entire island in an efficient and sustainable way.
  • Restaurant & Bar (completed). It has been renovated and expanded to create a better guest experience and atmosphere for both individual guests and larger groups. The new restaurant opened in January 2026.
  • Building Services Engineering (completed). Ventilation and other building services systems are being replaced to ensure better and more sustainable building operations.
  • Marholmen . The entire spa is being renovated and updated with new features to create an optimal spa experience. The spa will open on July 31, 2026.

 

Construction is taking place in phases

  • The first phase is now complete, and our new restaurant, Hermans, has moved into the main building.
  • The second phase—our new lobby area—is complete.
  • Marholmen new Marholmen opens on July 31.

The New Marholmen Takes Shape

Marholmen’s new spa is now taking shape, with a planned opening on July 31 (reservations open on July 10).

During the renovation, we are building on Marholmen’s interior design philosophy, which is rooted in the four elements of nature. Earth, fire, air, and water are also incorporated into the spa, creating a holistic experience of depth, warmth, flow, and tranquility.

In addition to renovating to improve the flow for our spa guests, the biggest news is that we are building a new infinity pool overlooking the water on what is currently the spa terrace.

The steam room, dry sauna, light therapy room, treatment rooms, and small hot tub will remain, and will be complemented by new spa experiences such as foot baths and infrared chairs.

How does this affect you as a guest?

Not at all! In this final phase of the renovation, our guests will not be disturbed at all by the ongoing construction work. On the contrary, you can now enjoy an even better Marholmen!

  • Food & Drink. Hermans Restaurant is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Hermans Bar serves drinks and a bar menu featuring light meals.
  • Accommodations. If you have booked a cabin, one of the villas, a campsite, or are staying in a glamping tent or at Villa Berg not Villa Berg by the renovation at all.
  • Hotel Rooms. Guests staying in the hotel rooms in the main building will not be disturbed either, as the remaining construction work on our spa is being carried out in a way that minimizes disruption to our guests.
  • Marholmen . While Marholmen is closed for renovations, the unparalleled natural bathing experience at 7° Bath Bastu is taking over. Here, too, you can book select spa treatments.

A word from CEO Fredrik Utheim

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've set a very ambitious plan stretching to 2027 for how we'll get there, and now it's time to take the biggest and most challenging step – rebuilding and expanding the main building.

Now it's up to us to make sure that you, as our guest, are disturbed as little as possible (and ideally not at all) during the construction period, and I and all the staff here at Marholmen will do everything to make that happen. And I can already promise you, it will be worth it! Once we're through this period, Marholmen will offer an even better guest experience than ever before, while you, as a returning visitor, will still recognize 'your Marholmen'.

Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or feedback you'd like to share along the way.

 

Best regards,

Fredrik Utheim, CEO
