Nusfjord Arctic Resort is an amazing resort / lodge located in the historic fishing village of Nusfjord, located in the Lofoten Islands of Norway. Nusfjord is one of the best preserved traditional wooden villages in Norway. When you picture traditional Lofoten, you'll find Nusfjord is just that. This place is full of character, history and charm. If you stay here you'll feel like you've gone back in time. Fishing boats come and go from the harbor, sea eagles fly overhead and seabirds nest on the cliffs surrounding the village.

Nusfjord Arctic Resort offers a range of accommodation options, including an amazing pair of wood fired hot tubs, a great sauna overlooking the sea, traditional red fishermen's cabins, or "rorbuer," which are renovated and modernized to provide comfortable lodging for guests. The cabins are typically equipped with amenities such as private bathrooms, kitchens, and living areas, while still retaining their historic charm and character.

The resort also offers a variety of facilities and services for guests, including a reception area, a Restaurant Karoline serving super good locally-inspired cuisine, Oriana Tavern where you can get a local beer and hand made pizza (which is SO good), a cafe with great coffee, snacks and food for lunch and a shop with locally made gifts and clothes like sweaters and slippers. There are also outdoor seating areas and waterfront views that allow guests to enjoy the stunning scenery of Nusfjord and its surroundings.

In addition to accommodation and dining options, Nusfjord Arctic Resort offers various activities and experiences for guests to explore the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the Lofoten Islands. This may include guided fishing trips aboard the Elltor, RIB tours, wildlife watching tours, hiking, kayaking, and more. The resort also hosts workshops and has a fantastic art gallery featuring a collection of art made by Norway's Queen Sonja.

Nusfjord itself is a well-preserved historic fishing village that has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. It offers a unique glimpse into the traditional Norwegian fishing village lifestyle, with its characteristic red-painted fishermen's cabins, cobblestone streets, and scenic waterfront. The village is a popular destination for tourists and photographers, as it provides ample opportunities for capturing the stunning beauty of the Lofoten Islands.

If you come to Lofoten, this is definitely a place you can't miss! It's one of our favorite places on Earth and when you get here you'll quickly see why!
