Gåsskären Dining and Activities

DINING & ACTIVITIES

Feel free to bring your own ingredients and cook as you desire, whether over an open fire barbecue or while smoking fish. Alternatively, we can bring you a breakfast/lunch basket or drive you to nearby islands for dinner.

Activities span from water-based adventures to on-land experiences. Enjoy kayaking and island hopping, indulge in the  hot tub and take refreshing swims.

Your only job here might be to light the logs for the sauna, and to switch off from time. But when you’re done with that, the island offers plenty of ways to reconnect with the nature – and with yourself:

Restaurants nearby

Hop on a boat from the island in the Finnish Archipelago and discover local restaurants. The journey is part of the charm, making each dining experience a simple yet delightful adventure across the water. Enjoy fresh, local flavors accessible only by boat, adding a touch of magic to your island stay.

Breakfast and lunch

Breakfast and lunch will be prepared fresh every morning and delivered to the island for guests to enjoy.

Relax

Sandy beach is bordered from two sides by dramatic rocks that reflect the shimmering water, also making it calm with most winds. The shallow end is shallow enough for kids to play safely.

Island hopping

We can organise boat trips around the archipelago. There are countless amazing places around for day trips or even over-night. Better known destinations include Bengtskär (20 min), which is the tallest and the most beautiful lighthouse in the Nordics with an exciting history. Örö (10 min) is an ex-military island, nowadays hosting a guest harbour. It has a restaurant and other services plus an amazing nature. Aspö (60min) is a superbly idyllic little island with a tiny village where you can buy fish fresh from the sea.
