"The wind, the sea, the possibility of being part of a totally different kind of reality for a week - all this is really attractive," said Enroth,
She will be keeping a daily video diary that will appear on the festival's website.
The festival's CEO Mirja Wester said: "It feels particularly right to be able to give this unique experience to one of the many heroes of the healthcare system who are all working so hard against COVID-19."
