Villa Soludden is a lakeside villa in the Stockholm archipelago, in Värmdö, that hosts one group at a time for conferences, kickoffs, company parties and weddings. It has 17 bedrooms with up to 34 beds, an orangery for up to 140 guests and a minimum booking of 12 people. It stands at Ekviks Gårds väg 60, close to Stockholm.
Seminars and company events
The villa is exclusive to one group at a time, which is the main selling point for organizers: no other guests share the building. The conference room has the technical equipment a workshop or board decision needs, including screens, projectors and wi-fi that the team tests in advance. Beyond the meeting day, the offer covers kickoffs with water activities and spa, retreats with wellness experts and Christmas parties. Company parties and kickoff evenings are held in the orangery, which seats up to 140 guests, with a roof that can be closed at the push of a button. Afterward the party moves to the jetty lounge with fireplaces and torches, then to a dance floor upstairs with DJ, sound and light.
The minimum booking is 12 people, and the website lists corporate clients such as Klarna, EQT and NCC among the groups it has served.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings can include a ceremony on the jetty in summer. Each couple is invited to a two-hour tasting session in which the whole weekend is reviewed and dishes from the menu are tried. The villa also arranges weekends for bachelor and bachelorette groups.
Rooms and capacities
The orangery holds up to 140 guests by the water. The villa also has a conference room, a jetty lounge, a spa with sauna and jacuzzi, and a table tennis area. The 27 corners of the house, drawn in 1990 by the Finnish architect Reijo Hillberg, mix wood, soapstone and glass.
Accommodation
There are 17 rooms: 10 doubles, whose beds can be separated, and 7 singles, which can take extra beds. Up to 34 beds are available, and the website says the number can be extended to 40 depending on the request. In summer, three double cabins on a 65-foot sailboat are also available. Breakfast is included, and check-out is at 11:00 for overnight guests.
Catering
The kitchen uses local produce and works with the seasons. For weddings it offers a three-course dinner with a French touch or a family-style sharing dinner.
History and setting
The current operators took over in 2009 and turned the former Ekvik Konferens into Villa Soludden. The house has a west-facing waterfront plot with open views over the bay.
Getting there
The address is Ekviks Gårds väg 60, 139 40 Värmdö. The website describes the villa as close to Stockholm yet far from the city, and does not list transport details, so ask about transfers when you request a quote.
