Glamping in Hanøyvika, Hadsel municipality. Nearest in this guide: Svolvær

Lofoten Aurora Dome is a luxury tent, 28 m² inside, at ground level with a patio and terrace facing the sea. It is more equipped than the word tent suggests: air conditioning, a fan and heating, a mosquito net, a flat-screen TV, a wardrobe and a seating area, all in a non-smoking, allergy-free space.

There is a kitchenette with a fridge and stovetop, plus access to a shared kitchen, and the bathroom is private, with a hairdryer and free toiletries. Guests can also order a continental breakfast, with fruit, and have it brought to the dome. Outside there is a barbecue, an outdoor dining area, a garden and a picnic area.

The dome is at Finnskarveien, about 1.3 km from the hamlet of Hanøyvika, on Hinnøya east of Raftsundet. That puts it outside the Lofoten islands, although Booking.com lists it under Lofoten; Svolvær, the nearest destination this guide covers, is about 35 km away in a straight line. The name nods to the northern lights, but seeing them depends on darkness, clear skies and solar activity.

Why stay here
