You can stay in one of Lofoten’s oldest fishing villages, where the old rorbuer have been restored as boutique hotel cabins.
The protected rorbuer around the harbour date from the late 1800s.
Before that the village was only reachable by boat.
What makes staying here different is that there isn’t really a separation between hotel and village. The rooms are spread through the old fishing settlement.
There’s even the village’s old bakery, dating back to 1877.
They still bake the delicious cardamom & cinnamon buns, bread and more, using the restored stone oven from 1877. It’s so big, you can bake up to 100 breads at once.
Inside the bakery, and throughout the village you’ll see objects and small details that have been kept, making it genuinely old rather than recreated.
Fishing is still part of the experience. You can head out on this traditional fishing boat with a local captain, catch your own fish and have it prepared back in the village.
Loftet Lounge is one of the quieter places to disappear for an hour: old timber, a glass of w**e and a view straight across the bay.
Landhandleriet is the old village general store. It opened in 1907 and much of the original interior is still here.
Now, most of the cabins are refurbished and equipped with all the modern luxuries.
No two rorbuer feel quite the same. Some sit directly on the harbour, others in the village, with different layouts and views.
Right outside from the cabin porch the landscape takes over almost immediately: sea, wildlife and mountains in every direction.
This is the Cabin Suite Seaview (2 Bedroom), one of the more modern takes on the rorbuer. It has a living area, kitchen and sea views.
The changing weather is something to enjoy, the quiet and the remoteness of the village makes the pulse drop.
The view can change several times before lunch. Sun, rain, wind and clear sky can all pass through Nusfjord in the same day.
There’s a waterfront Arctic spa with a sauna, wood-fired hot tubs and an outdoor shower.
A small gym with TechnoGym equipment.
Restaurant Karoline is the fine dining and breakfast spot, with Nordic cooking with a focus on hyperlocal ingredients.
