Rorbu in Leknes

Why stay here

Ure was one of Lofoten's larger fishing villages before the Second World War, and the lodge lets eight of its rorbuer at the water's edge. The cabins were refitted with new bathrooms, kitchens and beds. The same owners run a restaurant built around locally farmed salmon, RIB and fishing trips, kayak rental and a salmon-farming visitor centre on site.

Who it’s for

  • Families
  • Luxury

Couples and families who want a quieter village base with food and activities on site. The URE brand positions its hotel rooms as a luxury stay.

Highlights

  • Eight renovated rorbuer by the water
  • Restaurant focused on seafood and locally raised salmon
  • Floating sauna and open-air jacuzzi in the harbour
  • RIB trips, sea fishing and kayak rental

Things to consider

Leknes airport is 12 km (about 16 minutes) away and the Stamsund Hurtigruten quay 18 km, so a car is the practical option. The floating sauna is presented as a summer facility, and the hotel rooms and spa have been announced in phases, so check what is open for your dates.

The accommodation

Eight rorbuer with kitchens and living areas, renovated with new bathrooms and beds. URE also announces boutique hotel rooms in a restored 19th-century fishermen's lodge: seven rooms and two suites.
