In the Åland archipelago lies an oasis of calm: three private islands, perfect for conferences, celebrations and peaceful getaways. With personalised service and a discreet, attentive staff, Silverskär has, for over 30 years, created a destination to which guests return year after year.

Silverskär, Sviskär, and Klobben are just a half-hour’s drive from Mariehamn’s harbour and airport. Perched on smooth red granite cliffs, dotted with wildflower meadows and traditional red wooden buildings, each island hosts only one group at a time, making this the ultimate private luxury.

The main island, Silverskär, is ideal for larger gatherings or conferences, with sea views, saunas and a selection of houses and cottages, each with its own style and character. The island of Klobben, recognised as one of Finland’s top 100 hidden gems, can accommodate up to 40 guests and blends rustic charm with comfort. Sviskär offers 28 hectares of electricity-free solitude, a log cottage and a wood-heated sauna; perfect for those wanting to truly disconnect from their busy everyday lives.

Food is at the heart of the island experience. Guests enjoy a full-service experience with a private chef, who prepares meals using high-quality local ingredients while highlighting the archipelago’s culinary traditions and seasonal flavours.

Activities are equally varied, from kayaking, fishing and boat trips to yoga and meditation. “The peacefulness of the islands is instantly tangible. The surrounding scenery and nature take centre-stage, whether it’s a family celebration, a corporate retreat or simply taking time to unwind,” says Kickan Sundblom, co-owner of Silverskär Islands.
