The prerequisites, conditions and drivers of multilocality, that is, leading an everyday life in multiple places, were transformed through the accelerated adoption of remote work triggered by the COVID‐19 pandemic. We bring new perspectives to the field of multilocality research by exploring and theorising multilocal practices through a post‐pandemic lens and in the geographical context of a northern pleasure periphery. We identify three dimensions of multilocal practices: temporal commitment , place relations and conduct of everyday life . Drawing on 18 interviews with multilocals in a case study of Åre, an outdoor tourism hotspot in sparsely populated northern Sweden, we develop a typology of four multilocal practices. The findings reveal substantial heterogeneity in the drivers and features of multilocal practices and expand the understanding of multilocality in hitherto under‐researched spatio‐temporal contexts. We discuss the results in relation to local policymaking in rural municipalities, notably in areas with large non‐permanent populations
