Tailor-Made Island Seclusion at the Edge of the Sea – Designed Around You
Pater Noster Lighthouse
Off Sweden’s rugged west coast, on a wind-whipped skerry once ruled by lighthouse keepers, lies Pater Noster: a design-forward haven for those who seek isolation, inspiration, and the call of the wild sea. Accessible only by boat or helicopter, this is where the horizon becomes your closest companion.
Why Stay at Pater Noster?
Steeped in maritime legacy and reinvented with Nordic elegance, Pater Noster offers unmatched remoteness with soulful comfort. Here, you wake to the rhythm of waves, dine on the catch of the day, and rediscover what it means to be present—with just the sea, the sky, and your senses.
Expect:
- Chic, coastal-inspired rooms inside the former lighthouse master’s home
- Intimate communal spaces with panoramic views of the open sea
- Fresh, seasonal meals served in the lantern room or cliffside dining spots
- Wood-fired sauna and sea-dip rituals to reset and revive
- No crowds—just weather, wonder, and total disconnection
The Archipelago, Your Way
Want to stargaze from the lighthouse tower or forage the shoreline with a local chef? At Pater Noster, nothing is ordinary—and everything is designed around your wild-hearted vision.
Tailor-made experiences might include:
- Guided sea kayaking through the surrounding islets
- Boat transfers with storytelling skippers steeped in island history
- Chef-hosted seafood dinners using ocean-fresh ingredients
- Lighthouse meditation sessions or solo sunrise yoga on the rocks
- Digital detox itineraries focused on connection, reflection, and nature

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.

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.

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.
Alex
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!

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’.

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.

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!
Tori
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!
