STF Brantevik Råkulle Hostel

The fishing village of Brantevik is a gem on Österlen’s long coastline, with picturesque gardens and lovingly whitewashed houses. Stay right next to the sea, where the inviting rocky swimming spot beckons you for both a morning and an evening dip. Everything Österlen has to offer is close at hand, a paradise for anyone who loves nature and cultural experiences. Hike the Skåneleden trail or STF Signature Trail Österlen, run along the sea or cycle on winding country roads. Enjoy refreshing swims from the rocks and along long, sweeping beaches. Discover the local culture, with everything from performing arts and gardens to farm shops, cafés, galleries, exhibitions and flea markets.

Råkulle hostel is housed in an authentic Skåne farmstead. The farm dates back to the 18th century and has been in the same family for thirteen generations. It is traditionally built in an L-shape, with two wings around a shared, sheltered courtyard where a lush garden with apple trees, herbs, lavender and fragrant rose bushes awaits. On a warm summer’s day, the scents remind you that this is Sweden’s Provence, and there are plenty of pleasant spots to sit down for your own fika, dinner or simply a moment of relaxation.

Indoors you’ll find 15 cosy rooms with a total of 34 beds spread across the two wings, two spacious guest kitchens, shared facilities and a welcoming “living room” for lounging on the sofa, conversation and board games. There is also the lovely Gallery, a bright and airy space where breakfast is served during the summer. The Gallery is also perfect to rent for conferences, talks or parties, all year round.

A warm welcome to Österlen, Brantevik and Råkulle hostel!
