Å Rorbuer
Fishermen's cabins in Å at the southern tip of Moskenesøya, run by Classic Norway Hotels, with Å Restaurant, a lobby bar and bistro, and hotel rooms in former fish-processing buildings on the same site.
Why stay here
Most of the cabins date from the early 1900s, when fishermen used them during the fishing seasons, and some stand on stilts over the sea. Å is often described as the best-preserved fishing village in Lofoten. Cabins range from 30 m² one-bedroom units to large three-bedroom cabins for eight, and the Moskenes ferry to Bodø is 5.3 km away.
Who it’s for
- Families
The operator describes its two-bedroom and large three-bedroom cabins as suited to families and groups of friends. The Å Rooms, with a washbasin in the room and shared bathrooms in the hallway, are pitched as the simpler, lower-cost option.
Highlights
- Most cabins date from the early 1900s

- Free Wi-Fi and parking
- 5.3 km from the Moskenes ferry
Things to consider
Cabins differ, and not all have sea or mountain views, so ask when booking if the view matters. The operator lists a kitchenette as 'not available in all' cabins, although each cabin type described on its rooms page includes a kitchen. The 11 Å Rooms share four bathrooms. Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out by 11:00.
The accommodation
Fishermen's cabins: one-bedroom (30 m², two guests, small kitchen), two-bedroom (50 m², four guests), three-bedroom (six guests, twin beds) and large three-bedroom (eight guests, single and bunk beds); some of the larger cabins have a dishwasher. The resort's home page gives both 20 and 22 cabins. Å Hotell, in the former Salteriet fish-salting building, has nine newly built rooms with private bathrooms (standard doubles and six superior rooms, new for summer 2026), although the ahotell.no page description says 14 new rooms and the older rooms page still describes Salteriet rooms with shared bathrooms. The 11 Å Rooms above the reception share bathrooms.
