About Us

Villa Pauli is an international family members' club located by the water in Djursholm – a place where gastronomy, community, and cross-generational meetings are at the center.

In May 2026, a major expansion of 1,600 sqm will be completed. The investment includes a new bar and restaurant concept, a pool area with a rooftop terrace, a tennis court, new hotel suites, and the Villa Pauli Wellness Club with a spa and gym.

We strive to deliver world-class dining experiences. Our team is passionate about high-quality ingredients, creativity, and exceptional service.

We are now looking for a Senior Sous Chef who wants to be a key part of our kitchen team and help raise the level even further. In connection with our expansion and renovation, there will also be opportunities for development within the business.

The gastronomic profile is strongly rooted in Nordic ingredients, traditions, and approaches, but with inspiration from the delightful food culture of the Mediterranean and cooking techniques from around the world. Good, flavorful food cooked from scratch!

Villa Pauli, which once was the family home of Anna and Albert Pauli, is now a gathering place where families connect across generations. Whether for work, relaxation, or socializing, it combines the elegance of a members' club with the feeling of a home.

Villa Pauli is part of A Family Club – www.afamily.club
