Welcome to our paradise - Villa Lofoten. We work with ecotourism, art, and culture in the northern part of Norway. We want to share this beautiful place with others who appreciate the beauty of nature and culture. Welcome to us!

The Fisherman's cabin is a gem of vernacular architecture, situated by the quay in the fishing village of Kvalnes. Here you can stay exclusively, quiet and have many experiences. The house is centrally located in Lofoten near the main road E10, and in the middle between Leknes and Svolvær. The Fisherman's cabin was the living quarters for the fishermen during the intense fishing season for cod. In the mid-80s the owners demolished the two end parts of the building, but these have now been rebuilt. This is where the fishing teams stored their equipment during the season. In The Fisherman's cabin you enter an open room with a kitchen, dining space, fireplace and a big window. Further in you will find the bath. The original part of the cottage from the 1860’s is made of timber and has an authentic interior. Here you'll find two rooms with bunk beds, two worktables, original wood burning stoves and a modern bed (120cm) in each room.

Towards the turn of the century, Kvalnes was affected by a decline in population. Houses were sold and new people moved in. Kvalnes is one of the six inhabited places in Vestvågøy with midnight sun. People who like Kvalnes are often people looking for presence, closeness to nature, and self-expression. Here you can be yourself. Let the day go by, just observing sun and light, tide and wind, bird life and seaweed, northern lights and stars, snow and ice. That's why you're as likely to meet an astrophysicist from Belgium as a birdwatcher from Canada, an Indian photographer or an Australian surfer here. This was not always the case. Until the 1980s most people who lived at Kvalnes were what we call fisher-farmers. They survived through a combination of farming and fishing.
