Discover Sweden

While Sweden has always topped lists for environmental stewardship, sustainability in Sweden goes far beyond cleaning up the natural landscape. As your expert in eco-conscious luxury travel, I'm spotlighting how Sweden has become a global leader in ethical tourism. From Stockholm to Swedish Lapland, environmentally sensitive and socially responsible travel experiences await.

Sweden encourages green accommodations with its annual Sustainable Hotel Awards. Winners showcase state-of-the-art geothermal heating, rooftop beekeeping, vertical gardens, and hyperlocal cuisine. Check into boutique hotel Ett Hem in Stockholm, a member of the Slow Hospitality movement focusing on cultural connection through art, music and food and on giving you a more personalized luxury experience than your average hotel stay. Or escape to Treehotel’s unique mirrorcube biosphere room, reflecting the pristine Harads forest. Wilderness need not mean roughing it, thanks to these and other ahead-of-their-time retreats.

New Nordic cuisine pioneers secure ingredients straight from the earth through ancient preservation methods and direct relationships with wildlife stewards, and foragers. Enjoy experiences like the one at Musselbaren, where you can not only eat the freshest mussels paired with locally sourced ingredients, you can also join them on a true food adventure, an expedition out to the fjord by boat, assisting with harvesting and preparing their most environmentally friendly delicacy, the blue mussel. In Stockholm, music and food lovers alike head to the legendary cultural venue, Nalen. Here you can eat traditional Swedish classics with a modern twist and all food is made from scratch, using seasonal ingredients. Not only does Nalen have organic certifications from both major Nordic organic associations, it is also one of Stockholm's most intimate and iconic concert venues.

Tap into Sweden’s spirit of sustainability while dog-sledding, snowmobiling, sailing, or paddling yourself through some of the planet’s purest terrain. Conscientious outfitters like Exodus Adventure Travels practice a “leave no trace” ethos across adventures to the Arctic Circle. Or stay in Stockholm and walk, bike or kayak emission-free exploring its 14 interconnected islands where around 30% of the area is parks and green spaces.

Sweden represents the future with ingenuity, vision and respect for its environs. Allow me to connect you to experiences balancing luxury with responsibility across this progressive country. Contact me today to start crafting your customized Sweden tour and come see sustainability at its finest!
