Björholmen Hotell & Restaurang

This waterfront hotel sits on the island of Tjörn, with sweeping views over the Stigfjorden archipelago and the fishing harbour of Björnholmen. Guests can step straight onto a sandy beach and unwind in rooms that each open onto their own balcony or patio.

Inside, the guest accommodations are bright and modern, featuring polished wooden floors and floor-to-ceiling windows that let in plenty of natural light. Every room provides free wired internet, and select options come with an extra seating area and a small kitchenette for added convenience.

During the warmer months, the on-site gourmet restaurant—recognised in the 2012 White Guide—serves up seasonal dishes with a focus on local flavours, particularly fresh fish and seafood. When the sun shines, guests can dine al fresco on a spacious terrace.

For those looking to explore, the friendly staff can organise a range of excursions, including seal-spotting boat trips and lobster-fishing adventures. Bicycles are available to rent right at the property, and free private parking plus complimentary Wi-Fi in shared spaces make getting around effortless.

The acclaimed Nordic Watercolour Museum lies roughly 15 km away, while Tjörn Golf Club is a short 15-minute drive from the hotel. Gothenburg’s city centre is about an hour’s drive west, making this a peaceful coastal escape with easy access to urban attractions.
