Borgholm Castle, a stunning silhouette against the Öland sky, stands as a testament to Sweden's rich tapestry of history.

Three luxury hotels — Rosewood Le Guanahani, Le Sereno, and Le Barthélemy — line the shore, with waterfront dining and chaise lounge rentals. Two watersports operators offer equipment for windsurfing, kiteboarding and jet skiing.

Solliden is the summer residence of the Swedish royal family, which they visit several times a year. Commissioned by Queen Victoria, on the advice of her doctor Axel Munthe, and with Mediterranean influences, the palace was completed in 1906. Munthe was of the opinion that Öland’s abundant sunshine and oxygen-rich air would improve her health, and to this day the royals are happy to enjoy Öland’s sun! Solliden Palace is open to visitors throughout the summer months. Visitors have free access to most of the parks. Café, shop and a pavilion with exhibitions.
