NUSFJORD ARCTIC RESORT
Nusfjord , Lofoten Islands
Nusfjord Arctic Resort is a unique destination composed of authentic fishermen ’ s cabins and houses in the traditional fishing village of Nusfjord in the south-west of the Lofoten islands . Nusfjord has been a fishing centre for centuries , and would be home to the fishermen that came each season for the cod fishing . The cabins and buildings of the village date from the late 19th and early 20th centuries . Nusfjord was one of three nominated locations in Norway for UNESCO ’ s 1975 traditional architecture preservation pilots . Today , the philosophy of the destination remains one of sustainability whilst sharing the environment with visitors . The resort is open all year round . In summer experience the Midnight Sun and in winter the Northern Lights . In the summer months we include a hire-car for you but in winter we recommend that the hotel organises to collect you from Svolvaer . There are twenty-three cabins that used to accommodate the fishmen and they are located in the village and on the harbourside , on wooden stilts . The exteriors of the cabins have retained their original timber walls whilst the interiors are fitted out with modern comforts and have a contemporary design that is nevertheless in keeping with the traditional style . The resort offers a choice of dining with the Restaurant Karoline , where the buffet breakfast is served as well as a fine , regional dining experience with local ingredients such as smoked salmon , Lofoten lamb , blue mussels and the famous local stockfish . For a more casual affair , there is the Oriana Tavern where Italian pizza is served . Gather here for an ‘ aftersea ’ experience in the candlelit cave or enjoy an aperitif soaking in the atmosphere of what used to be the food and whisky store . At the back of the old general store and the hotel reception , and right above the water ’ s edge , is the Landhandleriet Café . Sit here and relax with a view of the mountains and the harbour and enjoy a light meal , perhaps fish soup or stockfish . Nusfjord is not just an insight into a traditional and ancient way of life in the Arctic Lofoten Islands but it is also an excellent base for activities . Combine with a stay in Svolvaer to really experience the Lofoten Islands in depth .
