Accommodation

Magerøya is a compact Arctic island shaped by dramatic weather, rugged coastline, and wide-open landscapes. Places to stay are clustered in a handful of small harbour communities, where the sea is always nearby and the scenery shifts with every season. Because distances are short and the island is easy to navigate, your accommodation becomes a natural base for exploring viewpoints, walking paths, fishing villages, and the North Cape plateau.

Accommodation options range from modern hotels and traditional guesthouses to cosy fishing-camp style cabins. Many places are run locally, reflecting the island’s long heritage of fishing, coastal culture, and everyday life in the north. Rooms are simple, warm and comfortable, offering a peaceful retreat after a day spent outdoors—whether you’ve been hiking, meeting wildlife, or travelling to the northernmost point of Europe.

Staying on Magerøya means being close to the elements. The shifting Arctic light, the rhythm of the tides, and the mix of mountains and sea create an atmosphere that is both calm and energising.
