While Styrsö is a fantastic destination in itself, it also serves as the perfect home base for exploring the wider wonders of the southern Gothenburg archipelago. With a convenient and efficient ferry system, you can easily embark on a day of island hopping, discovering the unique character of Styrsö’s neighbors.
Using your public transport pass, which covers the ferries, you can treat the archipelago like a floating transit system. The ferries run regularly, connecting the various inhabited islands and making it easy to plan a multi-stop adventure. Check the timetable, pack a lunch, and set off for a day of exploration.
From Styrsö, you could take a short trip to the islands of Asperö or Köpstadsö, each with its own distinct charm and walking paths. Further south lies the larger island of Vrångö, known for its beautiful nature reserve and sandy beaches. Each island offers a new perspective on archipelago life.
This style of travel offers ultimate freedom and flexibility. You can spend an hour on one island and half a day on another, depending on what you find. It’s a low-cost, low-impact way to see a huge amount of the region, all while enjoying the scenic beauty of the boat journeys themselves.
After a full day of island hopping, the return to the comfort and tranquility of Styrsö and its new hotel feels like coming home. Using Styrsö as your base allows you to combine the thrill of exploration with the deep relaxation of a dedicated wellness retreat, giving you the best of both worlds.
