1. Følvika Northern Retreat
At Følvika Northern Retreat you can sleep in the "open air" inside a warm and cozy dome, perhaps with the northern lights as an evening show instead of whatever is on TV. You will find the place on Sandhornøya in Gildeskål, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Here you get peace and quiet at the same time as you get close to nature.
