Arctic Ocean Lodge

We're excited to present an unparalleled opportunity for adventure and exploration in the heart of the Arctic, framed within our unwavering commitment to sustainability. At Arctic Ocean Lodge, located on the stunning Andøya in the Vesterålen archipelago of Northern Norway 300km north of the Arctic Circle where every 6 months the Northern Lights swap places with the Midnight Sun, we offer a unique blend of thrilling activities and serene getaways, all harmonized with an environmentally conscious approach.

Our offering

Traditional Accommodation with Modern Amenities

A former historical fishing and trading post right on the water, Arctic Ocean Lodge has been converted into a charming tourist village with all the modern amenities on site. Accommodation is available in 3 separate buildings with privacy or community for groups from 2 to 30 people. There are docking facilities on site for up to 10 boats with safe anchorage in all weather conditions as well as water and electric available. In addition to comfortable single, double and triple rooms and delicious home-cooked breakfasts and dinners, Arctic Ocean Lodge offers a waterfront sauna and wood burning hot tub with adjacent polar plunge beach, a restaurant with stone pizza oven and a full service bar on site. Our lodge, nestled in the stunning Andøya of the Vesterålen archipelago, balances comfort with environmental responsibility. We are part of a vulnerable island community and ecosystem, and we actively work to protect it.

Diverse Land and Water Activities in Summer and Winter

You can just rest at your new home and admire the stunning fjord views or you can start a mountain hike / ski tour right outside our door, take a kayak to the nearby fjords, go fishing with our motorboat, learn how to sail on our classic Norwegian sailing expedition vessel, try dog sledding / carting and meet the huskies at the adjacent farm, or do an yoga session in the dedicated loft. Each activity is designed to foster a deep connection with nature, while respecting and preserving the delicate Arctic ecosystem. Our approach includes slow travel to reduce our impact on the local environment and enhance engagement with the community.

Arctic Ocean Lodge is a short drive to Risoyhamn Hurtigruten Pier, Andøya Space Center, Bleik Puffin Colony, Andenes Airport and Sortland Bus Station. We can arrange transportation for group arrivals.

Continuing Commitment to Community Collaboration and Cultural Engagement

At Arctic Ocean Lodge, our ongoing journey involves a deep commitment to both community collaboration and cultural engagement. We are in the process of forging stronger connections with local communities, with a focus on supporting and partnering with local businesses. Our efforts are currently centered on implementing practices such as sourcing our food locally, hiring guides from within the community, and actively contributing to community-driven environmental initiatives. This evolving strategy not only aims to enhance the authenticity of our guest experiences but also supports the growth and sustainability of the local economy and environment, reflecting our belief in the importance of continuous improvement and engagement.

Practical Environmental Stewardship

At Arctic Ocean Lodge, our focus extends beyond just offering exceptional experiences. We are actively involved in practical environmental efforts and cultural preservation initiatives, aiming to make a real difference in the Vesterålen community. This includes modest but meaningful support for local businesses and participation in achievable local projects. Our goal is to contribute to the sustainable development of our region in a realistic and transparent manner.
