Henningsvær is a village of 517 people on the small islands of Heimøya and Hellandsøya, 26 km from Svolvær by the Fv816. The apartments, holiday homes and guesthouses listed under it include places in the village and places well outside it, among them lodges at Lyngvær and Storøya and a holiday home at Bøstad on Vestvågøya. Check the address on each listing before booking.

What they are like

Each listing shows the bedrooms, guest numbers and facilities a source records, including a kitchen, parking, a sea view, a sauna or a hot tub. A blank means the facility is unrecorded rather than missing.

What to expect in the village

The village's cultural environment was protected by royal decree in 2022 for its cultural and historical value, over about 226 decares of Heimøya, Hellandsøya and the water between them. Visit Lofoten describes the road in from the E10 as narrow and packed in the summer season, says the narrow streets make parking difficult, and asks visitors to use the larger public car parks, walk rather than drive around the village, keep noise down and ask before photographing people or their homes. That matters more in a rented flat among people's houses than it does in a hotel.

Who it suits

Groups and families who want to cook, climbers heading for Festvågtinden and the walls around Vågakallen, and anyone who would rather be in a village than a town. Check dates on Booking.com.
