Lankanholmen

Perched on a scenic headland in the heart of Andenes Harbour on the wild Vesterålen coast, Lankanholmen offers an unforgettable Arctic experience in modern, spacious sea cabins. Situated between the historic Andenes Lighthouse and the world-famous Whale Center (just 500m away), these 13 waterfront cabins deliver panoramic ocean views, direct access to the harbour and a truly Nordic sense of place. This is authentic northern Norway — dramatic seascapes, midnight sun in summer, and the northern lights above the Arctic Circle in winter.

Each spacious cottage features 2 double bedrooms, a modern kitchen, a large living area, a full bathroom and a private terrace facing the harbour — perfect for morning coffee with a view or barbecuing under the midnight sun. The interior design draws inspiration from the colours of the sea, blending Scandinavian minimalism with cosy warmth. Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels are included, and there’s a 24-hour front desk plus an outdoor fireplace for chilly evenings.

Beyond your doorstep lies the Vesterålen adventure playground: world-leading whale safaris, sea eagle spotting, hiking to Bleik Beach (voted one of Norway’s most beautiful), midnight sun kayaking, and the powerful natural amphitheatre of the Norwegian Sea. Andenes Airport (Andøya) is just 20 minutes away, connecting you to Oslo and Tromsø. For travellers seeking Arctic Norway at its most raw and beautiful, Lankanholmen is unforgettable.
