Welcome to Öckerö

Öckerö - Were the Land and Sea Dances Together

Just outside Gotheburg on Sweden’s west coast, where the sky stretches wide and the wind carries stories from across the ocean, lies Öckerö – a pearl in the Gothenburg´s archipelago. Here, land and sea dance together in timeless rhythm, and every breeze feels like a whisper from nature itself.

Öckerö is one of ten inhabited islands in the Öckerö Municipality, a place where fishing traditions meet modern life, and where the horizon seems to promise both peace and possibility. With just over 3,000 inhabitants, the island offers a warm and intimate setting, wrapped in raw natural beauty and the calming scent of saltwater.

As you walk along the rocky shores or gaze out from a windswept cliff, you’ll discover why people here have always lived with a deep connection to the sea. The harbors are still alive with boats and stories, and the sunsets linger longer than you expect, painting the sky in colors that speak straight to the heart.

Whether you're here to reflect, to lead, or to be inspired – Öckerö welcomes you with open skies, grounded wisdom, and a silence that listens.
