Our story begins with a voyage from sunny Spain to the enchanting Stockholm archipelago.

The year was 2008 when Daniel Arlycke, alongside his father Lars and sister Caroline, decided to return to their roots – Sweden. Before departing Marbella, we had the privilege of running three thriving restaurants, one of which, nestled in the Puerto Banús harbour, bore the name PRAVDA, renowned for its distinctive ambiance and exquisite cuisine.

However, it was a dreamy Midsummer celebration in the Stockholm archipelago that altered everything. During a balmy summer night, Daniel’s eyes were opened to a place that held the potential to become something truly extraordinary – a place where they could craft the most delightful, delectable, and unparalleled conference experiences, events, and wedding arrangements. And this, in an environment where you always have the entire venue exclusively, yet with service that’s ever-present when desired.

With a vision ignited and a passion for hospitality burning bright, we embarked on our endeavour. In 2010, Villa Soludden finally stood complete – our own little pearl by the water, a testament to our dreams and diligent work.

Since then, Villa Soludden has been much more than merely a venue for conferences and weddings. It has become a sanctuary where people gather to create lifelong memories, where ideas take flight, and where love is celebrated. It has woven itself into our family’s heritage and a place we are proud to share with the world.

Welcome to Villa Soludden – where every step of our history has sculpted the haven that now stands ready to welcome you to an unforgettable experience.

Since our inception in 2010, our pursuit of evolution has been a cornerstone of our journey. Today, three years on, we have not only continued to refine Villa Soludden into an unrivalled destination but have also expanded our horizons by creating and opening two new captivating concepts that complement our vision of hospitality and unique experiences.

Nestled just a 10-minute drive from Villa Soludden, or a picturesque 30-minute boat ride away, you’ll find our two new waterfront gems – restaurants Kattholmen and Orangeriet in Gustavsberg harbour.

Restaurant and, brasserie Kattholmen is housed within a unique Gustavian building from 1905, once the old power plant of the Gustavsberg Porcelain Factory. Here, you can anticipate a fusion of classic elegance and contemporary gastronomy, where each dish is a tribute to local flavours and history.

Orangeriet, which we opened just two years ago, transports us back to the Spanish chiringuitos where tapas, holiday vibes, and sangria go hand in hand. With an atmosphere brimming with life, and joy, Orangeriet is the perfect place to unwind and savour good food and good company.

At Villa Soludden and its sister restaurants, Kattholmen and Orangeriet, we always strive to offer our guests an experience beyond the ordinary. Welcome to explore our world of flavours, ambiance, and hospitality – where every meal becomes a journey and every moment a cherished memory.

Best wishes,

Daniel Arlycke
