Uto Vardshus

Uto is one of the largest islands in Stockholm’s southern archipelago, and its ambience and scenery could be no further from that of the capital. It is an landscape of small hamlets, shingle beaches, rocky promontories, woodland and farmland. This island is a natural playground and also the summer destination of choice for many Stockholmers. You can kayak, walk, cycle and swim here.

In spring and autumn, Uto is calm and uncrowded yet even in the height of summer, using the allemansratten (right to roam), you can find a picturesque spot all of your own.

Owner-managed by Anders Malm and his team, Uto Värdshus is situated 450m from Gruvbyn harbour. At the heart of the guesthouse is a courtyard, bar, nightclub and panoramic restaurant where guests meet and unwind. The cabins are fully equipped and are located apart from the communal areas allowing guests to be as independent as they desire.
