Klobben – at the edge of the sea
Our modern fishing camp is situated on the island of Klobben (Swedish pronunciation Klåbben) in the outer archipelago of Saltvik. Here we offer you a different kind of experience – stay in one of the ten huts where the sea is your closest neighbour.
In the old times the fishermen of Åland built camps with small huts in the ouskirts of the archipleago, used for shelter and overnight stay during the strenuous season of Baltic herring fishing. The modest huts at Klobben are a built after the same model, you can stay here comfortably and well tucked in, as close to nature as can be. No matter the weather or wind, your stay on Klobben will be unforgettable.
It doesn't get closer to nature than this
The timber the sheds are built of comes from 500 year old pines in the forests of Saltvik. With time the colour of the timber changes to a beautiful shade of grey. In total there are 32 beds, but Klobben has the capacity to house up to 40 guests. The main house of the island Saltarboden (salt shed) is a natural gathering point for meetings and meals. Meals that have the authentic taste of archipelago are shipped in from Silverskär!
Naturally there is a sauna on Klobben. It is built into a cliff crevice with the sauna bench adjusted to match the shape of the rock.
The atmosphere of Klobben is difficult to describe, you have to experience it. When waves are breaking the cliffs and the wind is whining, the silence from the city and the sense of stillness are still astonishing. Even the view from the islands outhouse will take your breath away!
A truly amazing experience!
" Although we had seen some pictures of the place beforehand it looked even more idyllic and beautiful in real life, we all were in awe when we first arrived with the boat. The cottages where clean, luxurious and comfortable while still feeling like authentic archipelago cottages and the inside of the wood burning sauna was like a piece of art. For dinner time the chef arrived to the island and served some great tasting food made from locally sourced ingredients, he then did the same in the morning with a breakfast buffet that would beat any luxury hotel’s. The eye for details from the owners combined with their dedication to cater for all our special needs, truly made our stay at Klobben an experience we will never forget.”
