Ekholmen Anchorage

Ekholmen is a small island anchorage tucked into the Stockholm archipelago out in Värmdö, where you drop the hook among thousands of islands and let the scenery do the talking. The setting is classic Swedish skärgård — rocky shores, pine trees, and the kind of quiet that's hard to find this close to a capital city. Värmdö's waters are endlessly explorable, so use this as a base to poke around the surrounding islands at your own pace.
