From Coast to Inland, Two Places to Stay
Our two places to stay let you experience Finnmark from two perspectives: the coast and the inland. In Vardø, you stay close to the fishing community and everyday life by the Barents Sea. In Tana, you stay close to Sámi culture, the tundra and the calm of the inland landscape.
Slottet, Vardø
A historic coastal stay shaped by stories, fishing traditions and life by the Barents Sea, in Slottet or “The castle”.
Historic Coastal Character
Stay in the former magistrate’s house from 1919, one of the few buildings in Vardø to survive the bombing of World War II, filled with history and local character
An Authentic Stay in Vardø
Ideal for guests who want a personal and genuine stay where local history, coastal culture and everyday life come together in a warm and memorable way
A Taste of the Catch
Here, meals are shaped by what comes fresh from the Barents Sea, and if you are lucky, you may even join the fishing boat and experience the journey from catch to table
Close to the Barents Sea
Spend your days among the coastal people of Finnmark, with the sea, the fishing boats and the changing Arctic weather as a natural part of the experience
Gargogeađgi,
the Sámi School, Tana
An authentic stay between the tundra and the vast Tanafjord
Authentic Sámi Heritage
Stay in the former coastal Sámi boarding school, a simple and genuine place shaped by local history, culture and life in the far north
Close to the Vast Tanafjord
Set by one of the world’s largest fjords by volume and width, where the landscape feels open, powerful and almost like the sea itself
A True Inland Experience
These are days spent on the tundra, close to Sámi culture, wide-open spaces and the quiet rhythms of the inland landscape
Personally Hosted, Never Impersonal
Here, guests are welcomed with warmth and care, and invited to experience something real, personal and deeply rooted in place
