Resort For­dyp­nings­rommet Fleinvær

In the far north of Norway – on a small island in the Fleinvær Archi­pelago within the Arctic Circle – the com­poser and musician Håvard Lund has created a retreat for artists and vaca­tioners. The spec­ta­cular natural sur­roun­dings will inspire you and spur your crea­tivity!

This arctic hideaway is a small village con­sisting of ten mono­func­tional houses.The huts con­s­tructed of kebony wood rest on stilts and are fas­tened with steel cables to the craggy rock. There are four sleeping huts, a bath house, a house for cooking and dining, a lounge house (com­plete with an electric piano), a sauna and an outdoor kitchen. For­dyp­nings­rommet roughly trans­lates as a space for deep thoughts and this name’s promise is very much ful­filled by the hut perched at the very top of the slope, which will remind you of an over­sized bird house and puts the breath­taking view of the sea and the neigh­bouring islands centre stage. It’s the perfect place to watch the dancing nor­thern lights that appear in the sky from Sep­tember through to April.
