🏝️ Sweden is "giving away" 5 islands (but not to billionaires)

🌊 The 5 islands you can “win”

Here are the stars of this Scandinavian adventure:

Marsten

Rock, sea, wind, and pure freedom. If the idea is to live a moment out of time, this could be yours.

✨ What does it mean to “win” an island?

Spoiler: you won’t become the owner. Instead, you’ll become the official caretaker for one year (with a diploma) and you’ll be able to:

- Camp

- Swim

- Invite friends

- Enjoy the island as your personal retreat

- But you’ll need to respect the local nature and wildlife.

In Sweden, there’s the Allemansrätten, the right of public access: this means others may still visit or cross the island.

Translation: luxury, yes—but shared and responsible.

🎥 How to participate

To apply, you need to:

- Submit a video of up to 60 seconds

- Explain why you deserve your Swedish island

- Share it with the hashtag #YourSwedishIsland

📅 Deadline: April 17, 2026

🏆 Winners will be announced in May

The prize also includes a round-trip for two to Sweden.

It does not include transport to the island itself (kayak, SUP, or boat—arrange your own Nordic-style adventure).

🚫 Who cannot participate?

The contest is open to everyone over 18… except billionaires. Because Visit Sweden’s idea is clear: true luxury isn’t material excess, but simplicity, silence, and freedom in nature. Honestly? Brilliant.
