Stay: Pater Noster Private Island
An exclusive island, anchored by a lighthouse off the Swedish Coast.
Kattegat Bay (Gothenburg), Sweden
Private Island for 18 guests, 9 rooms, from 1600 eur per couple
The creator of Pater Noster asked himself "What is luxury?" The answer was unanimously supported by everyone who helped him build this now semi-famous islet: "an isolated island far away from everything in raw nature." Indeed, just 8km off the coast of Sweden, as the waters linger out toward the North Sea, and about an hour's boat ride from the city of Gothenburg, is this little rock with cottages and a lighthouse. The rooms are Scandi-modern with unexpected color and texture, there are saunas, hot tubs, and even a vegetable garden. Guests are served full board meals, including a multi-course seafood dinner noted for the local lobster. And every guest is encouraged to learn more about the oceans before they leave. It's just the sort of place you dream of escaping for a summer's weekend.
