Nusfjord Arctic Resort

Your stay:

The enchanting and peaceful fishing village of Nusfjord is a unique destination in the Lofoten archipelago. 

This village boasts a long and rich history where ancestors established a way of life dominated by nature’s rules. Today, their legacy and spirit continue to thrive in the village.

As travelers journey through the majestic mountain passes of Flakstad, a salty sea breeze awakens the senses, heralding the start of an authentic Lofoten Islands adventure. Guests can imagine waking up in a traditional rorbu in Nusfjord, surrounded by the charm of historic fishing cabins. A stroll along the centuries-old wharf allows immersion in the daily life of fishermen from a century ago, with the echoes of their stories resonating in the air.

Nusfjord offers guests unforgettable and authentic experiences, including adrenaline-filled excursions and a taste of the unique cultural life in the valley, in collaboration with local partners. The village prioritizes expanding its societal participation by using exquisite, fresh, and natural ingredients in its culinary offerings, with a special focus on "locavore" (locally produced food). This approach allows guests to savor the special Arctic flavors.

Nusfjord is synonymous with authentic experiences and genuine Norwegian traditions. The community takes pride in preserving nature, culture, and the environment in its hometown. Continuous efforts are made to reduce food waste, develop menus in close collaboration with local producers and suppliers, utilize geothermal energy and ocean heat, and provide guests with environmentally friendly experiences.

Did You Know?

The rorbu cabins are located in the village and around the peaceful harbour, surrounded by beautiful nature and the wild sea. The size of the rooms reflects the fishermen’s need for an intimate and compact residence in the weather-beaten arctic environment, but they are carefully furnished to be comfortable and meet the needs of a modern lifestyle.

The cabins were originally divided into two parts, where up to twelve fishermen slept side by side. Their fishing gear, net and hooks were stored on the other side. Here the fishermen also prepared their nets with bait, which explains the holes in the timber walls, which are still visible today.

The rorbu cabins of Nusfjord are open all year round and invite you to experience the glowing midnight sun in summer and the spectacular northern lights in winter. All the cabins are located within a short walking distance of the village center and the eateries Restaurant Karoline, Loftet Lounge, Oriana Tavern, Aurora Foodbar and Landhandleriet Café.
