Hattvika Lodge in Norway is offering UK travellers exclusive accommodation in restored fishermen’s cottages overlooking the harbour.
Also available are newly-built, freestanding hotel rooms set on the hillside with mountains towering behind.
The lodge is situated on the small island of Vestvågøya in Norway’s idyllic Lofoten archipelago and is privately owned by the same family for six generations.
The recent restoration and refurbishment of 13 original fishermen’s huts dating back to the 1880s, has resulted in a selection of luxurious accommodations in one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom cabins.
Modern upgrades include bathrooms with underfloor heating, fully-equipped kitchens, and contemporary artwork, with traditional features such as wood cladding from the original 150-year-old buildings.
High ceilings, clean lines, comfortable sofas, soft furnishings, log burners and clever lighting ideas, all add to the homely, yet exclusive ambience created by the owners, husband-and-wife duo, Guri and Kristian Boe.
The newly refurbished cabins include Seaside Suites for two, right by the waterfront, which include breakfast in the property’s new restaurant just a short walk across the quay, and use of a private hot tub, overlooking the harbour.
The Boes have also created Hattvika Hillside, ten newly built, modern freestanding hotel rooms, partly nestled into the rocky terrain, partly perched on impressive steel supports.
Numerous guided activities are possible, such as sea kayaking, hiking, trail running, mountain biking and stand-up paddle boarding.
Also available are ski touring in the winter and photography tours taking in the spectacular landscape and the Northern Lights between September and April.
Fishing trips, boat rentals, surfing, diving and RIB tours are also available through local operators, as well as the possibility of hiring a private chef.
A newly-opened bistro-style restaurant, Fangst, (meaning ‘catch’) provides guests a memorable dining experience with tasting menus based on sustainable ingredients sourced locally.
Prices per night for accommodation at Hattvika Lodge range from approximately £172 to £645 in a Fisherman’s Cottage, from £293 in a Hillside Cabin, from £516 in a Seaside Suite, and from £680 for the Lodge.
