These cabins and lodges are grouped with Leknes because Leknes is the nearest of this guide's destinations in a straight line, not because they stand in the town. Check the address on each listing before booking.

Where they sit

The listing includes cabins at Unstad, Haukland and Eggum on the north coast and at Nappstraumen, within reach of the beaches at Unstad and Haukland rather than near the shops.

What a cabin means here

Visit Lofoten describes rental cabins and apartments in Lofoten as modern, equipped with a kitchen, shower and bathroom, usually in scenic areas a short distance from a beach or a mountain walk, and suited to a family or a group of friends. Facilities show on a card only where a source states them, so a blank means unknown rather than absent.

Getting there

Leknes Airport lies about 2 km north of the town, roughly 1.6 km by road, and is served by Widerøe. The E10 runs through Leknes and the Lofotekspressen bus (route 300) stops there. Check dates on Booking.com.

Questions

Are there cabins in Leknes town?
Cabins are grouped with Leknes because it is the nearest destination in this guide, not because they stand in the town, so check the address on each listing. Leknes is a service town rather than a fishing village, and cabins around it sit in the farmland and along the coast.
How far is Leknes Airport from Leknes?
Leknes Airport is about 2 km north of the town, around 1.6 km by road, and is served by Widerøe. The cabins out at Eggum or Unstad are a longer drive.
Do cabins near Leknes have a kitchen?
Visit Lofoten describes rental cabins and apartments in Lofoten as equipped with a kitchen, shower and bathroom. Each listing here shows a kitchen only where a source we cite records one; elsewhere the facility is unrecorded, so check the listing before booking.
What is the difference between a cabin and a rorbu?
A rorbu is a cabin in a fishing village, built at the shore to house fishermen during the seasonal fishery and often standing on wooden posts above the water. A rental cabin is a modern holiday cabin that can be anywhere. Some places on this page are also recorded as rorbuer.
Can you reach the Vestvågøy beaches from a cabin near Leknes?
The listing includes cabins at Unstad, Haukland and Eggum on the north coast. Visit Lofoten's Vestvågøy pages describe hiking, surfing and paragliding in the area around Leknes, and the hospital, supermarkets and pharmacies are in Leknes and neighbouring Gravdal.
