Three unusual holiday accommodations by the sea on Sweden's High Coast

A great starting point for exploring the Höga Kusten World Heritage Site are these three vacation rentals: a comfortable dock house, a cozy boathouse, and a completely furnished apartment overlooking the sea, all of which face the marina in Docksta.

Docksta is a friendly community with a strong tourist vocation. Easily accessible by car or public transportation (plus, the village is crossed by Stage 5 of the Höga Kusten Leden), it's ideally located for seeing the well-known archipelago along Sweden's coast, and especially the amazing Skuleskogen National Park.

From here, you can even take the daily ferry to the island of Ulvön, which is accessible throughout the summer. In particular, some of the most well-liked locations for nature hikers may be discovered on foot or by bicycle, allowing you to temporarily forget about using your car.

All the "ingredients" that contribute to a holiday being special and unforgettable—like the trails leading to the summit of Skuleberget, the stimulating views from Getvedjeberget, Fäberget, or Vårdkallberget—are therefore all within a few regenerating hours' walk in the Nature.

Starting from a base by the sea affords you an envied view, even if you don't have a boat: this is where the coast pulls, drawing a landscape that isn't entirely marine or mountainous but instead delivers the finest of these kinds of locations, making it somewhat "strange" and exclusively Scandinavian.

 
 

Make the most of your trip to the High Coast by renting one of these incredibly distinctive vacation accommodations.

 
 

Staying in a traditional Nordic boathouse is a much-loved experience, especially for hikers and travellers. It features a minimal but charming room with one or two beds, preserving the extraordinary building’s connection with the water, which was built to accommodate fishing boats.

You can rent this hiker-friendly, tiny room for one night or more, alone or in a couple. For last-minute reservations and flexible check-in, contact the host via Airbnb for availability.

 

Have you ever considered sleeping just above the sea, but not in a boat? An ex-darsena who has been converted to spend the night claims to be able to see the sea up close during the summer.

It's a glamorous spot that blends indoor and outdoor spaces, is ideal for couples looking to spend special time by the sea.

 

This superbly furnished apartment is perfect for a family or couple's vacation and features stunning views of the sea. It is baricentric relative to everything you would like to see while on vacation on the High Coast.

There's a great view of the fjord from the loft bed area. The living area's expansive terrace and wall of windows look out onto the marina and its piers.

 

These holiday rentals are available for reservations on AIRBNB
