The villa accommodates conference rooms and two suites for overnight stays, named after Rudolf Abelin’s daughters Hild and Dagmar.Just behind Villa Abelin you will come across our beehives. Thousands of honeybees live there in finely crafted beehives gathered around a gazebo. The beehives are taken care of by Biföreningen Lilla Båstad, a beekeepers association, who assisted by the busy bees produce our own honey here at Norrviken. It can be bought in our store.
