Gotland
in Sweden

Gotland, Sweden’s limestone outpost in the Baltic, feels like a medieval fever dream (with scattered patches of WiFi). In Visby, rose-draped ruins and Hanseatic warehouses draw summer crowds, then fall back to wind and sheep. Raukar sea stacks rise like stone trolls along stark shores. It’s equal parts Viking memory, indie escape, and eccentric Nordic rebellion. Bring a bike, or commandeer a horse.

Sibbjäns

Burgsvik

checked in

Born of a shared creative departure from Stockholm life, Sibbjäns is the collaborative work of Pontus and Sanna Rönn, Jonas Nordlander and Kina Zeidler, realised with heritage specialist Erik Larsson and architect Maja Berg. The former horse ranch (now working farmstead) sits among orchards and pasture, where Mangalitza pigs and grazing sheep shape the rhythm of days. Interiors lean into Gotland’s palette – worn woods, sheepskins, collected pieces – while outside, life plays out between vegetable rows, courtyard mornings and salt-sharp Baltic plunges.
