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. We started off in 2014 with just one canvas tent, to have an option for our restaurant guests at Svartsö Krog who wanted to stay on the island after dinner. Since the ferry traffic is limited and doesn’t allow late night traveling, we took the matter in our own hands. The tent quickly became fully booked and since then we slowly have grown into what we are today: a small seasonal permanent canvas tent lodge with only five tents, in our meaning the perfect size as we still want to keep it small & personal! A large part of the experience with us is the 5 course seasonal dinner at Svartsö Krog.
At Svartsö Logi you stay with our full lodging package included – you 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 delivered to your tent the following morning.
the tents
Our lodge consists of five 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, lanterns and a lot of atmosphere. For colder nights there are small electric heaters that you can switch on.
We have five tents, and they each hold different amount of beds. So please read this before you book! These are our double room tents:
-Skogsgläntan ”the forest glade” – 1 double queen size bed (160 cm)
-Mittentältet ”the middle tent” – 1 double queen size bed (160 cm)
-Trädkojan ”the tree house tent” – 1 double queen size bed (160 cm) + 2 single beds (80 cm)
Our last two tents are for larger groups of 4-8 persons and as they stand side by side, they are only booked together:
-Sandstrandstälten ”the beach tents” – are two separate tents side by side, each with 1 double queen size bed (160 cm) + 2 single beds (80 cm). Minimum of persons to book the beach tents are 4 adults. They are automatically booked together!

Kids prices:
First: By experience we think that as an adult, you will enjoy what with we offer best leaving smaller kids at home with a babysitter, and wait to bring them until they are a bit older and appreciate a long nice dinner! But of course you decide what is best for you, and kids are welcome! Good to know is that Svartsö Krog do not offer a separate ”kids menu”, but that most courses can be adjusted to a kids size. Dinner is never included in kids prices.
-Babies/toddlers who can share the double bed with their adults are welcome to do so, at no extra cost (no dinner/breakfast included), please note we do not have any cots/cribs.) Breakfast + bath towel not included, but can be added at a cost of 200 kr/child in the booking process.
-Older kids who sleep in own made bed cost 950 kr/child. Breakfast + bath towel included in price. Dinner ordered and paid on location at the restaurant Svartsö Krog. Please note that you can only book the number of kids own beds that are available in the tent – this alternative is therefore only possible in: ”the tree house tent” if you are minimum 2 adults and max 2 kids (as total amount of beds there are 4), and in ”the beach tents” if you are minimum of 4 adults and max 4 kids (as total amount of beds there are 8.)
