Best hotels lofoten islands sleep svinoya rorbuer

Dernière modification le

Finding a place to stay in the Lofoten Islands is both simple and not so simple (I know, I’m not making it easy for you… for now!). It’s simple because there really are a lot of accommodation options. It’s rare to find yourself high and dry; there will always be places available, you’ll just end up with the most expensive options if you book at the last minute in the middle of summer.
And not so simple because the challenge is knowing where to stay because the Lofoten Islands are very large, so you’ll need to know where to find your base camps. But luckily, I’ll explain all that just below to clear things up for you.
Above all, I really recommend booking early for two reasons:

  • whatever the season, the best accommodations go the fastest, even if there are always good options left a few days before, but you’ll pay more. So, it’s a good idea to book a few weeks in advance (and a few months for peak tourist seasons like mid-summer)
  • I forgot the 2nd reason. Well done me. But I think it was to tell you that prices increase over time. The closer you get to the date, the more they go up.
Eliassen Rorbuer, Hamnøy — Lofoten Islands

Where to stay: Best towns in the Lofoten Islands

It’s not an easy question!
First of all, it will depend on how much time you have to spend in the Lofoten. 3 days, a week? All of this will determine one thing first:
How many towns should you stay in?
Here are my tips. Obviously, it depends on each person, but personally, I try to optimize accommodation based on the things to see and avoid driving too much every day. I should mention that almost everything to see is located between Svolvaer and Å; north of Svolvaer, there are fewer iconic sights, although it is still superb.

  • 3/4 days: stay in a central location if you want to visit everything. Like Leknes or Ballstad. You are 1h15 away from everything (Å, Svolvaer, the beaches), so it’s really convenient.
  • One week, there are 3 possibilities:
    • the 50/50. 3/4 days around Svolvaer + 3/4 days around Reine. Meaning half in the north, the other half in the south. This allows you to properly separate the places and activities to see.
    • everything in a central location, Ballstad ou Leknes. It’s practical because it really allows you to juggle things according to the weather. You drive more, but you are more flexible. I did this during my last stay—one week in Ballstad—whereas before I always did the half-and-half. And honestly, it’s a really great option!
    • hopping from place to place. 1 or 2 nights in each spot and then moving on. In this case, you stay 1 night in Svolvaer, 2 nights in Ballstad/Leknes, 2 nights in Ramberg/Nusfjord, and 2 nights in Reine. This way, you are close to everything every day. But it means moving regularly; some people like it, others less (like me, I don’t like repacking my bags :D).

The best rorbuer in the Lofoten Islands

A rorbu is a traditional Norwegian fisherman’s cabin, found in abundance throughout the Lofoten Islands, an archipelago historically rooted in the fishing industry. These highly photogenic cabins are built on stilts, usually red (sometimes yellow), and have now been converted into accommodations—much to our delight.
Here is a curated selection of the most beautiful rorbuer in the Lofoten Islands! I’ve included prices and ratings so you can compare them at your own pace. Some are run as hotels, while others are apartments of various sizes.

Where to stay in the Lofoten Islands with your family

Great news: the Lofoten Islands are a dream playground for families! Norway is one of the safest countries in the world, traffic is minimal, and children love the “great outdoors” spirit of the archipelago: turquoise beaches for running around and building sandcastles (Haukland, Uttakleiv, Skagsanden), easy hikes accessible to everyone, colorful fishing ports, and even the chance to see the Northern Lights in winter or enjoy the midnight sun in summer.
When it comes to accommodation, it’s just as practical: the vast majority of places offer fully equipped kitchens (ideal for preparing meals for the little ones and saving money on restaurants, which are expensive in Norway), many have multiple bedrooms or “entire home” layouts, and the distances between the main points of interest are very reasonable.
Here is my selection of 4 top accommodations for families, across all price ranges (from budget-friendly options to premium villas with a jacuzzi for large groups).

Where to stay in Svolvaer

Why stay in Svolvaer? Honestly, there are several reasons. I regularly stay there when I visit the Lofoten; I like the town, and it’s convenient when you split your stay between two locations. Keep in mind it’s still a bit too far from the south for daily round trips. But here is the breakdown:

  • it’s a pretty little town, very pleasant with its charming harbor
  • it’s the perfect first stop for your trip
  • you can explore the surrounding area and the northern part of the Lofoten for a few days before heading south
  • it’s not too expensive

Staying in Ballstad: a charming option

During my last trip to the Lofoten, I stayed in Ballstad for the first time. Since it didn’t seem very practical, I used to avoid it. What a mistake! 🙂
Ballstad is a little haven of peace, a tiny town somewhere between a fishing port and a family village, surrounded by mountains.
It’s not far from Leknes and the main road, so you don’t lose much driving time by staying here. And that’s a good thing, because there are some really great places to stay. Since it’s centrally located, you can stay for a week to explore both towards Svolvaer and towards Reine or Å.

Staying in Leknes: a practical option

Let’s be honest, the town of Leknes itself isn’t the prettiest. But it’s super central—you’re close to everything, or rather, far from nothing. You can easily explore everywhere between Å and Svolvaer from here without any trouble.
Plus, as soon as you get just a little bit outside (which takes all of 5 minutes given the town’s size), it gets much nicer. So, I’m going to show you some accommodations here that are practical, and some located just outside Leknes in stunning surroundings.

I’ve put together a map of the best accommodations in the Lofoten Islands for you. But that’s not all—it includes everything you might need:

  • the most beautiful spots
  • beaches
  • restaurants
  • essential info…

And, of course, stays across the islands. I’ve included prices, ratings, and photos so you can easily get a feel for each place and see which great spots are nearby, making it easy to plan your trip 🙂

In conclusion

And there you have it—I think I’ve covered everything! It’s obviously impossible to list every single accommodation in the Lofoten Islands; there are just too many, and let’s be honest, they’re not all created equal. My goal was to suggest some great stays and budget-friendly options, specifically organized by the classic base camps like Reine, Hamnøy, Leknes, Ballstad, and Svolvaer.

My golden rule is to always choose your lodging based on what you actually want to see, so you don’t spend too much time on the road each day—even if it means switching between 2 or 3 different spots across the archipelago. But honestly, there are so many charming places here that the best strategy is often just to follow your heart!
