A new hotel has been created on Sweden’s remote Hamneskar island, which is home to the famous Pater Noster lighthouse and has open sea views.

Swedish design agency Stylt converted a 19th-century lighthouse master’s home on the rocky isle into a hotel, which brings together Swedish nautical charm and wild surroundings.

Windswept Hamneskar island on the west coast of Sweden was once a small community built around the Pater Noster lighthouse (meaning ‘Lord’s Prayer’). The red iron-constructed lighthouse was built in 1868 and lit up the horizon off Marstrand to help guide sailors through its dangerous waters.

Inside the Swedish hotel, Stylt has incorporated original rustic details with vintage maritime details and introduced a richness through warm metallics, traditional furniture and dark hues inspired by its surrounding waters.

Guests arrive by rib boat from Marstrand or Gothenburg and are offered back-to-nature pursuits such as deep-sea fishing (and cooking their catch), sailing, kayaking, scuba diving, cookery lessons and meditation in the lighthouse itself.
