At Sørvær you will find The Arctic Hideaway. An architectural gem, in the middle of the windswept ocean gap. The concept, which was an idea by the local jazz musician and composer Håvard Lund, was designed by the Norwegian architectural firms TYIN Tegnestue and Rintala Eggersson. The incredible place is a cluster of eye-catching eco-cabins, which was originally supposed to be a workspace where musicians, artists and other creative souls can stay for shorter or longer periods.
At Fleinvær there are no shops. No cars. No stress. Not dangerous animals either. Only the sound of sea urchins and birds chirping in the distance, and views of the infinity of the horizon. As soon as you arrive here, you get it. The feeling of just existing. And all thoughts of a stressful everyday life disappear.
Originally, the place was made for people who needed a place to concentrate and focus without any distractions. First and foremost, it is an inspiring workplace, but it is also made for those who just want to immerse themselves in good friendships or in their soulmate.
The facility is built to provide inspiration and tranquility in a wild and beautiful coastal nature. It consists of ten buildings: five dormitories, a kitchen, an “outdoor food” house, a bathhouse with toilets, a sauna, and a sky and sea observatory.
