Öland - Sweden's sunny island for your dream holiday

When you think of Sweden, red wooden houses, dense forests and glistening lakes probably spring to mind. But did you know that Sweden also has a real sunshine island? Welcome to Öland - the perfect place for your next holiday in Sweden!

Why Öland?

Öland is not only a popular holiday destination for the Swedish royal family, but also for anyone who loves nature, the beach and Scandinavian cosiness. The island has the most hours of sunshine in Sweden, long sandy beaches and a landscape so unique that it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

What you can experience on Öland

Endless beaches
Whether it's fine sand or secluded bays - you'll find dream beaches on Öland. Particularly popular is the Böda Sand in the north, which looks almost Caribbean with its fine white sand.

Historical treasures
The highlight for history fans? Clearly: the Borgholm Castle! It is one of the most impressive castle ruins in Sweden and offers a breathtaking view. Right next to it is the summer palace of the Swedish royal family - who knows, maybe you'll bump into Princess Victoria on your walk?

Unique nature
The Stora Alvaret is a huge limestone area with very special vegetation - it only exists here and almost nowhere else in the world. Perfect for a hike or a short road trip by bike.
