Like its sister destination, Strana, Björholmen Hotel & Restaurant sits in the Bohuslän archipelago, on the neighbouring island of Tjörn. The hotel is a gem for tourists and locals, known for its welcoming atmosphere and close connections with entrepreneurs and businesses around the island. With a restaurant focusing on local delicacies and a wood-fired sauna overlooking the neighbouring sea, it is a perfect getaway for small and large parties alike.
Björholmen is an old fishing village in a secluded part of Tjörn, with deep roots within the fishing community – still a prominent feature of the area to this day. Its picture-perfect location right next to the sea and harbour, embedded into the rocks and cliffs, makes this a rare haven for visitors looking for a tranquil spot steeped in nature.

“Björholmen’s proximity to undisturbed nature is unique, and the business is rooted in our connection with the landscape and the people around us. Our primary focus is to provide a friendly, genuine service: to make our guests feel at home, whether it’s a small group or a conference,” says Ida Standar, area manager at Björholmens Marina.
The hotel has 24 rooms overlooking the sea and the Bohuslän cliffs, and can accommodate everything from small reservations to bookings of up to 100 people. The sauna, built on the cliffs by the sea, provides ideal conditions to relax and soak up the beauty. The restaurant focuses on seasonal dishes that are commonly found in the area: from freshly caught fish, mussels, seafood and vegetables, to meat, dairy and cheeses from nearby farms.
“We’re utilising local produce and craftsmanship as much as we can. Our location and collaboration with local entrepreneurs give us a rare flexibility to tailor the bookings completely to our guests’ demands, and we can provide experiences distinctive to this area,” says Standar. Think seal safaris, paintball on your own island, RIB boat tours, nature tours with a local guide, cooking classes with freshly caught seafood, lobster fishing – only the imagination sets the limit.
“Björholmen is a magical spot and as seasons change, our aim remains the same: to give our guests a lasting impression of hospitality, warmth and unforgettable memories,” Standar concludes.
