About Us
Just 25 minutes from Stockholm City and 35 minutes from Arlanda, you will find Skåvsjöholm.
For this short journey, you get a wealth of archipelago scenery and natural experiences.
Close to the city yet nestled in the heart of the archipelago, nature, and the sea. Here, you’ll meet in modern conference rooms, sleep in cozy hotel rooms, enjoy fantastic meals in a beautiful restaurant, and unwind in our relaxation area, bar, and gym. All with stunning views of the water, surrounded by nature, and all under one roof. Our goal is to provide you with a flawless meeting experience where everything comes together: atmosphere, service, meals, technology, hotel rooms, and activities.
Our building was designed by Danish architect Carl R. Fredriksen in the early 1960s. The entrance and restaurant feature large panoramic windows and black slate floors, a typical 60s design. The clean, bright, and airy feel the architect aimed to convey is still present today, and we continue to embrace this spirit as we maintain and renovate Skåvsjöholm.
We offer 17 meeting rooms of various sizes and accommodate 107 overnight guests in 87 single rooms and 10 double rooms, all newly refurbished in 2020. Most rooms boast stunning water views.
Discover Skåvsjöholm, where modern amenities meet natural beauty, providing an ideal setting for meetings, relaxation, and memorable experiences.

Swedish Society for Nature Conservation
The Baltic Sea is Skåvsjöholm’s closest neighbor, but unfortunately, it’s not doing so well.

Our beautiful location in the inner archipelago of Stockholm, nestled in a bay of the Baltic Sea, constantly reminds us of how precious the sea is. The presence and view of the water are ever-present; from the restaurant, hotel rooms, to the meeting rooms. We want to contribute to improving the health of the sea and are very proud and happy to have the opportunity to help save it.
Since 2016, as a supporting company of the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation, we annually donate 100,000 SEK to their work for saving the water in our sea bays. And isn’t it fantastic with our seas? In fact, you could sail around the entire world from our beach.
Feel free to visit our Baltic Sea exhibition next time you’re at a conference or meeting with us!
Situation sthlm
We have supported Situation Sthlm and their important work for many years, but felt that we wanted to further increase the involvement in social contexts.
Social Engagement
We are a cheerful and dedicated team, and contributing to making the world a little better for our fellow humans is important to us! We have supported Situation Sthlm and their vital work for many years, but we felt the need to increase our social involvement further.
Thus, our charity project Skåvangåvan was born! Each month, a staff member selects a charitable cause close to their heart, and Skåvsjöholm donates 1,500 SEK to the chosen organization. Recently, Karin from our reception/booking and sales/marketing team chose to donate her Skåvangåva to Vid Din Sida, supporting their work to help elderly people in need in Sweden – a wonderful choice, we think!
Previous donations have been made to: Nattvandrarna Åkersberga, Ulla-Carin Lindquist’s foundation for ALS research, Suicide Zero, Hundar Utan Hem, Missing People, Norrtälje Katthem, Women’s & Girls’ Shelter in Vallentuna, Giving People, Solgläntans Katthem in Vallentuna, SPEC National Association for Suicide Prevention and Survivor Support, The Ocean Cleanup, The Brain Foundation’s Alzheimer’s Research, Djurens Rätt, The Narcolepsy Association, Doctors Without Borders, The Melanoma Association, Save the Children’s work in Ukraine, The Diabetes Fund, The Fibromyalgia Association, The Children’s Cancer Fund, Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders, The Celiac Association, The Alzheimer’s Foundation, The Youth Shelter Bellis, and The Stockholm City Mission, The Breast Cancer Association, and The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation.
