My floating igloo adventure at Bullandö

My boyfriend and I took the train from Lund to Stockholm to sleep in a floating igloo. The rain came, but the calm at the marina was exactly what we needed.

Igloo

My boyfriend and I took the train from Lund to Stockholm, a journey of six hours in total. We packed the cameras and the drone, got ready and set off with one single goal: to create memories and share them visually.

Where we stayed

Our unique stay in a floating igloo

Our trip was memorable from beginning to end. The weather wasn't entirely on our side, but we made the most of every moment of sunshine that appeared and took full advantage of every opportunity to explore and capture the experience.

What made the stay truly special was how different it felt compared to a regular hotel. We always love stepping outside our comfort zone, and this unique place offered exactly that. Waking up surrounded by hundreds of boats, watching the marina slowly come to life each morning and feeling the calm rhythm of life on the water created an atmosphere that felt both refreshing and inspiring.

It wasn't just a place to sleep. It was an experience that let us slow down, appreciate our surroundings and enjoy a completely different side of travel.

What I loved most

A magical feeling of floating

What we loved most was the unique sensation of floating on the water. It created such a peaceful atmosphere that you simply can't find at a regular hotel. And even though it rained for most of the stay, it somehow made the whole experience even cosier.

Listening to the raindrops while being gently rocked by the marina's soft movements was incredibly relaxing. Waking up to a panoramic view straight from the bed was unforgettable: surrounded by nature, still water and hundreds of boats all at once.

A little more about the place

If you are planning a stay at Bullandö, here are a few experiences we really recommend.

Eat at Bullandö Krog: enjoy great food with a beautiful view of the marina and a relaxed coastal atmosphere. It's the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring.

Take a walk around Bullandö Marina: stroll along the jetties, admire the impressive boats and soak in the peaceful atmosphere of one of Stockholm's most charming marinas.

Recharge in the sauna: there's nothing better than warming up after a day outdoors. It's the perfect way to relax and embrace the Scandinavian way of life.

Explore Stockholm's archipelago: take a trip to nearby islands like Vaxholm, where you'll find picturesque streets, waterfront cafés, historic landmarks and stunning coastal nature.

Three things I would tell a friend

Pack a rain jacket or umbrella

The weather can change quickly, especially near the water, so it's always a good idea to come prepared. And even if it rains, the marina becomes incredibly cosy.

Bullandö is the perfect place to disconnect from the pace of everyday life. Wake up early, have a coffee by the water, watch the boats come and go and just soak in the calm.
