Sandhamn

An island where you can experience the remarkable maritime terrain of the outer archipelago. Sandhamn is the key meeting place for sailors and yachters, with a vibrant party scene during summer. The idyllic village, a historical sea pilot station, has an inn, hotels, the classic Royal Swedish Yacht Club, and numerous restaurants and bars. There are also many activities on the island like kayak paddling and bicycle renting. Sandhamn is also worth a visit off-season when the archipelago has returned to its peaceful natural state. Fans of Nordic Noir might recognize Sandhamn as the island where Mikael Blomkvist takes refuge in the Millenium series and as the primary setting of Viveca Sten's The Sandhamn Murders book series.
