The Sauna House at Selsøyvik

Stay right by the sea at beautiful Selsøyvik in modern, architect-designed studio apartments with a private swimming jetty and sauna. Enjoy long days in peaceful surroundings close to nature, just a short walk from one of Northern Norway’s oldest trading posts. The Aurora and Sinus studio apartments have been boldly yet sensitively designed to blend into the landscape. Sheltered among the rocky shoreline just beyond the historic trading post, they bring together old and new through the traditional boathouse-red colour, natural materials, and modern architecture with strong lines and well-designed spaces. The result is a place that simply feels good to be in, whether you want to slow down, recharge and find inspiration, or use it as a base for exploring the coast and surrounding islands. Read More

But 32 kilometers from the mainland, north of the Arctic Circle, there is a small community on a tiny island, where a handful of enthusiasts keep the lights on in the houses and the doors open. Myken is a small fishing village, located in the middle of the sea, far out on the Helgeland coast. It's 32 kilometers to the mainland, and almost 20 kilometers to the nearest inhabited island. In between lies a stretch of sea that can be so stormy at times that being weatherbound is part of daily life out here in the fall and winter. Yes, it's daily life out here. Read More
