Summer is in full swing here on Vrångö, and we’re enjoying wonderful days together with our guests. Lazy afternoons on the jetty turn into dinners on the terrace, refreshing swims from the smooth granite rocks alternate with long hours on the beach, and as evening falls the harbour comes alive with laughter, boats and the unmistakable buzz of a Swedish summer.
Life on a small, car-free island at the very edge of Gothenburg’s southern archipelago really is something special.
But here’s a little secret…
If you missed the chance to visit Vrångö this summer – or if you’ve already been here and can’t wait to come back – we’d love to let you in on one of our favourite times of the year.
If summer is Vrångö’s busiest season, then autumn is undoubtedly its most beautiful.
The pace slows down. The air becomes crisp and crystal clear. The sea still holds onto the warmth of summer before gradually cooling, making a visit to our wood-fired sauna and hot tub even more enjoyable. Heather covers the landscape in shades of purple, bright red rowan berries stand out against the clear autumn sky, and the sun continues to warm the smooth granite rocks.
Autumn also brings some of our favourite experiences here at Kajkanten.
Our popular AUTUMN ESCAPE offer gives you two nights for the price of one, including exclusive access to our floating sauna with its wood-fired sauna and hot tub – the perfect way to embrace the slower season.
The first Monday after 20 September also marks the beginning of the lobster fishing season, one of the highlights of the year for the local island community. It’s almost a holiday in itself, and if you’ve never experienced lobster season in the Swedish archipelago, this is the perfect opportunity.
As October turns into November, autumn break offers a peaceful escape before we round off the season with one of our most cherished weekends. Together with Emma, we host an intimate yoga retreat where meditation, yoga and Yoga Nidra invite you to slow down, reconnect and simply enjoy being present.
Whether you visit us this summer, in the peaceful colours of autumn or at any other time of year, we hope to welcome you to beautiful Vrångö.
The seasons may change, but the feeling of island life, the sea and the tranquillity of the archipelago always remains.
We look forward to welcoming you.
