After conquering the Seven Summits, renowned adventurer Randi Skaug bought the small island of Naustholmen and transformed it into a hub for outdoor adventure. It now accommodates groups and individual travellers during the summer season. People flock here to unwind, disconnect from the digital world, engage in activities like kayaking and hiking, and, most importantly, reconnect with nature and each other. “Friendly fellowship” and “strong nature experiences” is the fundamental values here.
We offer accommodation for up to 18 guests and dinner for up to 40. The guests are looked after, and the food is local and made with love. We are primarily aimed at companies, groups of friends and our own events, but in the summer season we also offer accommodation and experiences for many. The minimum stay is two nights.
“It’s important for me to stay small and reconstruct the old buildings rather than building something new. This helps preserve the island’s unique character and intimate atmosphere,” says Randi, who has also penned a cookbook featuring treats from the island.
“Our cuisine is simple and unpretentious, using local ingredients like fish, moose, deer, and whale, often with a dash of Asian flavour. It’s always delicious and colourful,” she adds.
You can also relax in a hot sauna, get a massage in the newly built boathouse by the sea, or chase the northern lights or enjoy the midnight sun.
The unique place has even been featured on Ben Fogle’s popular BBC series New Lives in the Wild.
