Holmen Lofoten is a remote community of traditional fisherman’s cabins on the coast of the Lofoten Islands. Recent renovations have transformed the cabins into comfortable accommodations while retaining all of their original magic. There are also some new rooms/accommodations, but combining traditional & modern methods and materials, to offer all the comforts a guest might need, in classic Scandinavian style. A different kind of luxury, working in harmony with nature & the landscape.

During the harsh winters, mirroring the journey of Arctic cod, masses of fishermen migrated to the Lofoten Islands. Fishermen’s cabins, known as rorbuer in Norwegian (rorbu in the singular), were the simple structures that housed boat crews who worked, ate, rested and lived together during the fishing season. Holmen Lofoten has undergone a meticulous restoration process, with an emphasis on preserving the original structures and historic design.
