Svartsö Logi is a small canvas tent lodge on the island of Svartsö, right in the heart of the Stockholm archipelago. In our comfortable furnished canvas tents we offer our guests a relaxed over night experience with unique closeness to the beautiful archipelago nature, just a stone’s throw from the shoreline. Our ambition is to provide you with the same comfort as in a hotel, but in a little more rustic and natural way.

At Svartsö Logi you stay with full board included – Enjoy a five course dinner at the restaurant Svartsö Krog, fall asleep to the calming sounds of the nature and the sea, then wake up to a lovely breakfast served in a basket and delivered to your tent the following morning.

the tents

Our lodge consists of canvas tents mounted on wooden deckings, each with a small furnished private terrace in front facing the sea.

The tents are all personally furnished with rugs and sheepskins on the floor, real beds with warm down duvets and pillows, electric heating, lanterns and a lot of atmosphere.

We have five tents, and they each hold different amount of beds. So please read this before you book! These are our single tents, all are suitable as double room tents, and two of them have additional beds if you are more than two or are traveling with kids:
