Ingmarsö

Why visit Ingmarsö by private boat

Ingmarsö is the antidote to the busy summer hotspots. The island has kept its local rhythm — a small year-round community, a couple of low-key places to eat, footpaths through the pine forest and the kind of quiet bays that feel discovered rather than visited.

Reached on a private boat charter from Stockholm, Ingmarsö pairs well with a relaxed lunch ashore and a swim stop on the way back. Combine with a detour past Grinda or Vaxholm for variety, or read our best archipelago islands guide for planning ideas.

Best for
