Mediterranean moods, in the heart of Malmö.

Summer at MJ’S in Malmö

MJ’S life to live

Picture this:
A sunny morning at the patio, a cappuccino, today’s paper and soft music in the background. That’s a MJ’S start of the day for you, by the picturesque Mäster Johans street.

After that?
Hustle that muscle or sweat out some of those cocktails – our pink gym is ready with barbells, a treadmill, a rowing machine, yada, yada. Why not finish it all with lunch in the lobby bar?

Back up… did someone say cocktails?
Order an Avis de Saltu — our take on the classic Jungle Bird — and let the rest of the day unfold from there. Maybe it turns into a dinner in our lush courtyard restaurant, where the food is built around what’s fresh from The Culinary Farm just outside Malmö. Together, we shape the menu by the season, keeping it thoughtful, flavorful and always worth gathering around. And if the evening calls for something play, grab a game from the reception and make sure to kick your friends in Tic Tac Toe.

The Dinner Affair

Foodie alert! This package includes a fluffy bed, Mediterranean dinner and breakfast. Trust us, it’s too good to miss.
