Svinoya Rorbuer

Svinoya Rorbuer

Authentic Lofoten Islands Cabin

Situated in the largest village on the Lofoten Islands, Svolvaer, the Svinoya Rorbuer Resort is located on its own island connected to the main village by a bridge, with the open ocean on one side and the spectacular Lofoten mountains on the other. The selection of red-painted Rorbu cabins were once the refuge of fishermen and are now a modern retreat for guests.

 

Sleep Well

There is a choice of cabin type - the original cabins retain their old-world charm and include from one to three bedrooms, en suite bathroom, kitchen facility and living area. The more recently built Rorbu Suites are larger in size and enjoy harbour views, and some additional luxuries such as a sauna. There are also Historical Houses and Apartments and the modern Vestfjord Apartments located 300 metres from the main building.

 

Eat Well

A former quayside warehouse dating back to 1828 provides the unique backdrop to Svinoya’s restaurant, Borsen Spiseri, one of Lofoten’s most renowned restaurants. With an emphasis on maintaining the building's original features, providing a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy the exquisite dishes made from Lofoten’s unique and fresh local ingredients.

 

Play Well

A year round activity program available at Svinoya ensures that you’ll be immersed in the spectacular surroundings of the Lofoten Islands. There is a choice to pre-book, including a Trollfjord and Sea Eagle Safari, Sea Kayaking, Arctic Wildlife Safari and fishing trips in the summer season, and snowshoe hikes, ski touring and hunting for the aurora in the winter.
