About Tjärö

There are 137 beds distributed over 52 rooms in 13 different houses. In addition to lodging, there is conference activity, a restaurant, café, and a marina with over 70 boat slips. The island can be reached by boat from Järnavik, Karlshamn, or Matvik.

About Tjärö's restaurant

The restaurant at Tjärö is open for breakfast, lunch, à la carte, events, and theme nights every day of the week. The restaurant has a capacity of about 100 guests in the dining room, 40 guests on the veranda, and a large outdoor terrace overlooking the marina. During the low season, the conference activities increase the workload in the kitchen, while during the high season and weekends, there is a greater focus on day guests, overnight guests, and boat guests.
