Tailor-Made Island Seclusion at the Edge of the Sea
Pater Noster Lighthouse

@ 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

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!

We – the whole family – loved the whole journey!!

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
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
Amy was a great help with planning this trip. Our trip turned out amazing. I also was very grateful for Off the Map’s Front Desk service, which promptly handled an on the spot issue we had.
Karen
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.

Well-organized trip to Norway and Svalbard with great accommodations and activities. Gwen was communicative and responsive to requests. Highly recommend!
Russell Snook
We have loved it so much here that we have extended our stay and will come back to Bjornfjell and stay in one of their cabins until Jan 3 then we are staying in the igloo hotel the night of the 3rd. 😊We added a few excursions this week – we did the whale trip on the RIB boat (wow!), toured the igloo hotel (which is why we decided to book the last night!) and did the reindeer sleigh at Sorrisniva. You were so right, the bonfire excursion was incredible!!It has been an absolutely amazing trip!
Kristen
We really enjoyed our Norwegian adventure despite the -22 days! Unfortunately no real experience of viewing the Lights but we did capture a couple of images on our last night – too much cloud otherwise so lots of snow. We really enjoyed the husky lodge – not at all what we had tentatively imagined. Thanks for your assistance, maybe next time we will see the Lights in all their glory.
Andrew
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
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!
Jim & Kris
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.
