Varanger Lodge
LUXURY FISHING ESCAPE
Rugged nature and sustainable luxury meet at Varanger Lodge, in Nesseby, a fishing village next to Varanger fjord in northeastern Norway. Run by renowned local fisherman Edgar Olsen, these unique lodgings allow guests to truly experience the beauty of a life at sea.
Sleep Well
Guests choose from two ensuite eco-lodges on the water's edge, both with a kitchen and window walls that offer panoramic views over the fjord. The lodges are built entirely from natural materials and are inspired by the gamme, an ancient Sami dwelling with a sod roof.
Eat Well
Enjoy a Skipper's Breakfast every morning, and experience the incomparable taste of freshly caught king crab, cod, pollock, red fish, catfish, halibut, salmon, and trout, straight from Olsen's fishing boat and the mighty Varanger fjord.
Play Well
Join Olsen on a king crab or deep sea fishing safari on the fishing boat he built himself, the Vesterelvjenta. Local partners offer nature excursions in the region's surrounding wilderness — look out for reindeer, Arctic foxes, and snowy owls, as the green aurora dances above.
Be Well
Relax in the lodge's spacious sauna, featuring a traditional wood-burning oven and expansive view over the Varanger fjord. With no TVs or Wi-Fi on site, escape into the soothing views and sounds of the fjord and the sea right outside your window.
