Step into your room and feel the stresses of everyday life begin to dissolve. Havhotellet offers a range of accommodation options, from cosy hotel rooms to spacious family apartments, all designed for comfort and restful nights. The interiors are bright and welcoming, with wooden floors and thoughtful touches that reflect the hotel’s connection to the sea and sky.
A Culinary Experience with a View
Dining at Havhotellet is about more than just eating; it is an opportunity to connect with place and flavour. The hotel’s à la carte restaurant serves delicious food and drinks with views out over the water, blending fresh ingredients with thoughtful preparation. Whether you are savouring freshly caught seafood, enjoying regional specialities or sipping a drink on the spacious covered terrace, every meal becomes part of your stay.
Start your day with breakfast that fuels your adventures, enjoy a leisurely lunch on the terrace or linger over dinner as the sunset colours the sky. The sea view and relaxed ambience make dining at Havhotellet a highlight of any visit.
Connect with Nature and the Elements
One of the greatest joys of staying at Havhotellet is the proximity to the great outdoors. Step outside your door and you are immediately beside the sea, with endless opportunities to explore. Walk the coastal paths, cycle along scenic routes, paddleboard or kayak through calm waters, or simply sit and watch fishing boats drift by on the horizon.
The hotel’s location invites you to embrace a slower pace, where the sound of waves and the fresh sea breeze become part of your daily rhythm. Nearby sandy beaches and rugged shoreline trails offer moments of discovery for guests of all ages.
The Lindesnes Lighthouse, one of Norway’s most historic landmarks, is easily accessible from the hotel and makes a memorable day trip. Guests of Havhotellet enjoy free admission to the lighthouse, a cultural highlight perched above sweeping ocean views.
After a day on the water or along the trails, there is every reason to unwind on site. Havhotellet’s facilities include a gym for staying active and equipment available for outdoor play like volleyball, bicycles and kayaks for guests to use.
In cooler seasons, the coastal climate takes on a different kind of beauty. A brisk walk along the shore, a moment of quiet with a hot drink indoors, or a cosy evening in the restaurant offer a restful and refreshing way to slow down and appreciate your surroundings.
Whether you arrive in summer seeking sun and sea, or in autumn and winter to enjoy solitude and quiet coastal spaces, Havhotellet invites you to savour the ever-changing seasons of Norway’s southernmost point.

We originally hired Off the Map Travel in 2020 to set up a trip to see the Northern Lights. That didn’t happen, thanks to COVID. But, we persisted and in March of 2023, we took a 16-day trip that included both Iceland and Norway. IT WAS MAGICAL! Off the Map took care of everything! We were pampered at every stage of our trip. The people they hired and the activities they planned added up to a trip that will set the standard for any we’ll ever take in the future. Alex and his team were fabulous! We recommend them without restraint!

Fantastic trip to Svalbard which delivered the true Arctic experience we were hoping for. The hotels were excellent and the activities – dog sledding and snowmobile expedition were lead by first class guides.
Top tip! The champagne tasting in the world’s most northerly wine cellar in the exceptional Funken Lodge is not to be missed!
Faith
The best travel experience ever on every level you can think of during a Lapland expedition (food, activities, timings, accommodation, transport, service, equipment…). I highly recommend Off The Map Travel for their outstanding level of professionalism and detail oriented mindset!
Sophie & Guy
I used OTMT to organise a holiday to see the Northern Lights for my partner’s 50th birthday. They took the time to understand my priorities, the kinds of places we like to stay and the things we like to do. They recommended a fabulous itinerary in Norway centred around the Lyngen Experience Lodge. The holiday itself lived up to expectations and I have no hesitation in recommending OTMT. They listened carefully during the planning and delivered the perfect present for my partner.

Amy planned a fantastic trip! Everything was very well-thought out. All transfers went smoothly, accommodations were amazing, great restaurant recommendations and the tours were once-in-a-lifetime, can’t book it yourself off the internet experiences. The guides were all fantastic. Communications were prompt and everything worked exactly the way it was supposed to. What a pleasure! Already working on our next trip.

Karen
I would thoroughly recommend this company. Their planning and advice was spot on. Alex responded to my calls and emails very promptly. I will definitely use them again for future trips.
Rosie
My family and I traveled to Sweden to see The Northern Lights in March of 2023. From the planning process to every detail of the trip, I could not have been more pleased with our experience. Alex was exceptional to work with. His guidance on the time of year, where to stay, activities to do and how to get to and from everything was spot on. I have never used a tour company before but thought a trip of this kind would be easier with some help. I am so glad that I did. The entire week was seamless and completely stress-free, allowing us to truly enjoy Sweden and our time together as a family. I will be recommending Off The Map travel to friends and family and will certainly be using them myself again in the future.

Exceptional service throughout the entire planning and booking process – travel agencies don’t get any better than this. A brilliant, seamless experience matched by the holiday experience itself. Would recommend ‘Off the Map Travel’ to anyone considering booking for a Nordic experience ‘par excellence’.

Off the Map Travel was great! Alex helped us plan the most amazing 10 day honeymoon to Iceland. He gave us great recommendations and was so patient with us during the planning process!
