Nature-immersive retreat at the arctic hideaway

About this house

Welcome to an architectural wonder created by Sami Rintala, designed to enhance your connection with nature. All the functional rooms, from sleeping area to washroom, are located in different cabins, encouraging contact with the surroundings as you move between them. Even a night-time walk to the bathroom can be rewarded with a glimpse of the Northern Lights! Njalla, or the tower house, is a sheltered vantage point where you can observe the weather and the dance of the skies.

Inside, there's an emphasis on minimalism and large windows that shift the focus outwards, encouraging you to use the spaces creatively. Transform the shared studio house into anything from a yoga studio to a stage, depending on your mood and group dynamics. Minimalist interiors ensure that the stunning scenery always takes center stage.

Between these unique spaces is a large terrace perfect for summer lounging. Imagine stretching out on sheepskin or sinking into the chairs while enjoying the sun and sea views. The terrace acts as a bridge to nature, turning every moment at The Hideaway into a chance to completely relax.

The surrounding area offers more than just scenic beauty. A short hike up the hill in Sørvær offers stunning views that stretch all the way to Lofoten on clear days. Join the community at the island's waffle café, or relax by the artist-created plunge pool and fire pit. From the sauna dock, you can take a dip in the refreshing water or explore nearby bays and the lively local wildlife.
