Sitting close to the coastline on one of the approximately 24,000 islands in the Stockholm Archipelago, this address benefits from not only a private dock, but also a motor boat you can borrow to explore your surroundings a little further. Alternatively, if you're more than content to sit and admire it from afar, there are alfresco tables in the pretty garden from which to dine and gaze out at peaceful waters.

This being Scandinavia, there are certain points in the year in which you'll simply want to coop up inside and it's more than possible to get toasty and warm here. Not only are there wood-burning fireplaces dotted about the communal spaces, but there's also one in the spa-style bathroom, complete with a tub and relaxation area. We're also particularly fond of the homely design throughout, from the rustic kitchens and bright living spaces to the soft rugs underfoot.

Part of the beauty of this address is its sense of isolation and privacy, although this does mean you'll have to hop in the car and potentially on a ferry for restaurants and attractions. That being said, the host can arrange for a private chef to visit the home, which makes life easier somewhat.

Set in the leafy suburbs of Stockholm, this home offers perfect peace while still being within easy reach of the city. Open the door of this handsome wooden house and you'll find yourself in a bright space that's bursting with that quintessentially Scandi style. Despite its minimalism, there are still plenty of cosy touches, from the movie room, ideal for snuggling up with a blockbuster, to the wood-burning stove which provides a warming atmosphere as you share a meal at the long dining table. Outside, there's plenty of space to enjoy alfresco feasts cooked on the grill, and even your very own swimming pool – take a refreshing dip, or simply laze in the sun as you watch the kids splash about. There's also a tennis court and golf course close by, and a five-minute walk will bring you down to the nearby lake. This corner of paradise might make you forget that you're so close to the bright lights of Stockholm but, should you want to visit the cobbled streets of the old town, you can drive there in around fifteen minutes.

Surrounded by a fragrant garden and blessed with an uninterrupted view over the sea, this spectacular escape is tailor-made for magical stays when seemingly endless summer days span almost eighteen hours.

Built back in 1902 and painted in that iconic red hue that epitomises rural Sweden, this spacious and sprawling holiday home has maintained many of its original features over the proceeding century. When combined with its secluded island location, one of some 30,000 that make up the Stockholm archipelago, it's perfect for those seeking that all-too-rare feeling of disconnection from the frenetic pace of modern life.

Despite its remoteness, the house is just a few minutes by car or boat from the vibrant archipelago town of Vaxholm, with its tempting bakeries, fishmongers selling fresh seafood, a surprisingly international array of restaurants, plus supermarkets for stocking up on essentials. However, it's easy enough to maintain your island idyll should you want to.

With a private beach, a stunning sauna that looks out over the water, a private dock for jumping off afterwards, plus an expansive lawn for picnic lunches and outdoor games, why would you want to leave?

The Cuckoo's Nest

Sauna / Steam Room

This charming home offers the quintessential log cabin experience. Blanketed in snow for much of the year, it’s in a peaceful location, surrounded by ancient, evergreen forest. Sitting out on the deck you might spot woodpeckers and squirrels. Inside, you’ll find timbered walls, a welcoming living space centred around the wood burner and a traditional Finnish sauna that we could happily hunker down in for days. 

When you’re ready to explore, there’s plenty to enjoy outside too. You’re just 500m from Pyhä-Luosto National Park, with the main Luosto ski slopes 8km away; when conditions are good, the nearest ski track begins just 50m from the house. Spend your days carving up the powder, before coming back to your cosy cabin for a sauna or a hot chocolate by the roaring fire.

This cosy Finnish apartment would suit anyone looking for a true escape into nature. On the edge of the Hitis archipelago, there's much for sporty travellers to enjoy here, whether you want to discover the hiking trails or take a boat ride to the nearby islands. This recent build is full of contemporary Finnish style, from the EcoFurn furniture on the terrace to the cosy throws and rugs, and there's plenty of space to unwind in the living space after a day of exploring. You'll find all you need in the kitchen to prepare meals, while the dishwasher makes cleaning up a breeze. Venture down to the communal lakeside sauna to unwind, or just relax in the private sauna in your home. As the sun sets, settle down on the terrace with a cup of hot chocolate and your favourite album on the Bluetooth speaker – or, strike up a conversation with fellow adventurers at the communal barbecue area. 

Secluded Peninsula

This lakeside log cabin is surrounded by slender pines and feels wonderfully remote and private. The home itself is sturdily built to withstand the northern winters, while plenty of expansive windows let light flood in from between the trees. Geothermal heating keeps this home snug whatever the season, and there’s an indoor sauna for turning up the heat even more. Outside you’re within a stone’s throw of the vast Lake Livojärvi with its silver waters and soft sandy beaches. The lake makes this home ideal for a summer holiday with children, as it is both shallow and safe. There’s even a house rowboat for adventures across the water. Winter visitors can enjoy snowmobile trails, winter hiking and skiing at Kiri, around a twenty-minute drive away. A true winter wonderland.

Silver Lake Beach

What's better than a log cabin with its own lakeside terrace? A log cabin with its own lakeside sauna, of course. Luckily, this place has both so you can soak up those photogenic views wherever you choose to unwind. And unwind you will. Whether dining alfresco style, soaking in the hot tub, or exploring the calming waters of Saimaa Lake by rowing boat, we're sure this cabin will do wonders for your cortisol levels. It combines all the best bits of a cabin – instant cosiness factor, natural wood paneling, a reading nook with a working fireplace for finishing those holiday reads – while still feeling modern thanks to that enviable ceiling height and double-height windows, which frame those gorgeous views. Days not spent lounging about could consist of foraging among the beautiful flora that surrounds the house, seeking out the Salpa Line, or visiting nearby sites like Kerimäki, the largest wooden church in the world. With getaways like this on their doorstep, it's no wonder the Finns are consistently rated the happiest in the world.

Nice to haves

Nestled within the Stockholm skyline, with views over the city and harbour, this luxurious penthouse suite invites you to immerse yourself in Sweden’s bustling capital. 

Showcasing signature Scandi style with plenty of lavish details, this home perfectly balances understated glamour with homely touches. Panoramic, floor-to-ceiling windows frame the impressive city below, and bring plenty of natural light into the apartment. An open-plan living space allows for hosting dinner parties with family and friends, whilst the fully-equipped kitchen makes preparing food a breeze if you feel like flexing your culinary muscles. Of course, in the centre of Stockholm, cooking is optional, with an array of local eateries quite literally on your doorstep – your host can even make restaurant reservations for you.

When you’re not out and about exploring the Norrmalm neighbourhood, sit back and relax on your own private terrace, which offers uninterrupted views across the city. There’s no better way to start your day than stepping out of the French doors and onto the sun-drenched patio – views like these give the phrase “watching the world go by” a whole new meaning. 

If you’re visiting during colder months, spend your evenings relaxing in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine, after enjoying a soak in the free-standing bathtub.

Hot Tub

Where the lush evergreen forests roll down the hillside to meet the cold waters of Svortevika Bay, sits this unique and thoroughly modern home. In a secluded and remote spot, this angular house manages to combine the feel of a lakeside fishing lodge with a comfortable and truly twenty-first century home. As a certified fishing house, you can cast your lines from the private jetty, or take the motorboat out into the bay to fish in peace and quiet. Back home, everything is set up to ensure maximum comfort after a day of angling out in the chilled waters of Western Norway. The double-height ceiling in the living room gives the place a sense of openness and space, while the wood-burning stove reminds you that this is a cosy and warm place to relax. In the summer months, head out onto the balcony and enjoy sipping a glass of wine as you take in the view, or enjoying a fish supper, caught fresh and cooked on the electric barbecue or in the kitchen. Before bed, take time to unwind and relax with a soak in the warm waters of the jacuzzi jet bathtub. You’re several kilometers from the nearest town, so the sense of remoteness is palpable, making this the ideal destination to escape from the bustling modern world and embrace nature.

Forest Shore

There’s more to Finland than great skiing, but this log-built home near Ruka, surrounded by forest and near the Masto ski slopes, makes for a pretty perfect vacation spot. Inside, this modern home is cosy and comfortable, with a fireplace in the living area and a big wooden table for meals with the family. Curl up with a cocoa after a day on the slopes, or in the warmer months enjoy a barbecue on the deck with a view of the forest. There is a dedicated workspace if you need to check in with the office, but otherwise, do as the locals do and relax in your personal sauna. Come summertime, hiking trails, bike parks and long arctic days where the sun waits up till midnight make this home the ideal getaway. The cabin is walking distance from public transport and the nearest ski lift, and if you venture a bit further, you'll find plenty of wilderness and National parks. To enjoy the Northern Lights, just look up!

Sitting in the decorative district of Katajanokka, this apartment invites you to experience the charms of Helsinki with ease. From here, you'll be a short tram ride from the Art Museum Ateneum, Kiasma and Helsinki Cathedral, while you’ll have waterfront restaurants and shops at your fingertips. Located within an aparthotel, you can enjoy housekeeping services and access to the gym. And if work is on the agenda, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace. The interiors are modern and inviting, making for a lovely spot for glasses of wine after a day of sightseeing.

Katajanokka Bliss

Situated in the heart of Helsinki, this stylish studio is in a historical Jungmann building with an array of facilities. You'll have access to a communal gym and there are shops and restaurants downstairs to ensure you have everything you need, from the essentials to fantastic local cuisine. The room itself is cosy with a kitchenette – while you won't be cooking up large feasts, you'll be well-equipped to experiment with some Finnish recipes. We think this room makes a great base for working remotely or for simple city breaks, with Helsinki's cathedral and public transport within easy walking distance.
