Sea house with rorbuer in Hamnøy

Why stay here

Skagen was home to a fish factory that hauled cod up the hillside to drying racks, and before the E10 was built it was a local ferry point to Reine. Accommodation ranges from studio apartments to sea houses with floor-to-ceiling windows onto the fjord. Two seaside saunas and two hot tubs on hillside terraces overlook Reinefjorden.

Who it’s for

  • Northern lights

The villa is marketed to families, groups of friends, photo groups and retreats. The Vindstad fishermen's cabins have step-free entry and are listed as wheelchair accessible, and one cabin (Festhælen) accepts pets.
