Our story

Strandhugget BnB is a passion project for Tea and Henry Johansson. Henry has his roots on the island, and over the years Tea has fallen in love with Sottunga and its people. “We think that Sottunga is something that you just need to experience for yourself. Words are not enough to explain how special it is.” Strandhugget has been closed down for few years. It will be re-opened for summer 2024 to give an opportunity for visitors to stay over and enjoy our beautiful island.
