When the question is “Where can I have holiday accommodation facing the sea”, the best answer is usually: “choose one of Helgeland’s many rorbu cabins”. There is something special and deeply soothing about staying right on the water and waking up to the salty scent of the sea and the sound of surf and seabirds.

Come and experience the rich cultural history, the fantastic festivals, the exciting art, concerts, and performances that Helgeland has to offer.
