Maryhill Estate x Rox Resort: Your Ultimate Nordic Cultural Escape this Spring
Maryhill Estate is a restored early 20th-century castle rising above the coastline of Skåne. Surrounded by rolling parkland and forest paths that open toward the strait, the estate is deeply grounded in Scandinavian heritage.
Why visit this spring:
- Tomorrow’s Masters Art Exhibition, 18-21 April: Maryhill Estate transforms into a living gallery as the Mankovsky Gallery exhibition unfolds across its historic halls and gardens, for the second year running. The exhibition presents emerging and internationally recognised artists shaping the visual language of tomorrow. Works by Kyte Tatt, Miles Jaffe, Anna Brandt, Maximus Dörje, David Horgan, Pablo Frisk, Mia Alajasko, Julia Staflund, Niall Campbell Strachan, and many more, including photographers and editioned works by Pamela Hanné, Simon Lohmeyer, Oscar Munar, Vassilis Pitoulis, Daniel Featherstone, and others, will be on display.
- Outdoor Living: The Estate truly comes alive in spring, with tennis and padel courts, three pools, 126 chic sunbeds and sun-drenched spaces perfect for indoor-outdoor swimming and lounging, nearby coastal walking trails and three top-tier golf courses located just 15 minutes away.
- Nordic Fine & Alfresco Dining: The opening of Ålabodarnas Harbour Restaurant serving the region’s freshest seafood signals the start of alfresco dining season, nestled right on the waterfront. Guests can also choose between the lively, social atmosphere of Sugar Club, with Greek and Southern Italian flavours, or the calm, elegant luxury of Hill House, rooted in classic French dining with 1920s New York flair.
- Local Wine Tastings: Maryhill Estate presents wines from its own castle vineyard, including Solaris, and signature sparkling wines. Its Book of Wine contains over 600 labels, including legendary Burgundy, Loire, and Bordeaux vintages. Curated by head sommelier Erik Sundstén and his team, each bottle is stored under optimal conditions, ensuring exceptional maturity and a world-class tasting experience.
