Luxury bespoke hotel holidays to Malangen Resort, Norway
The Malangen Resort in Mestervik is a resort-style hotel located on the edge of the sea, about one hour south of Trømso. Its main building contains 10 very spacious hotel rooms, each one simply-furnished with wooden décor and large, comfortable beds. The centrepiece of the rooms is the stunning view of the sea and mountains, which can be appreciated from the rooms’ large windows. For a more authentic Norwegian experience, choose to stay in one of the 3-bedroom wooden cabins. These are located along two rows, with the front row sitting right on the water’s edge and the back row slightly raised to still give sea views. They feature fully-equipped kitchens, three bedrooms and two balconies, one from the master bedroom which looks out on the sea. Waterfront apartments contain two bedrooms and a kitchenette, and are a suitable alternative for young families. The hotel’s restaurant serves all meals, and guests can choose to eat either inside or outside on the large decking. Local ingredients are used and seafood is a common feature, with the easy access to the sea offering fresh produce every day. During your time here, we recommend taking part in some of the classic Arctic activities that the hotel has on offer. The hotel’s Camp Nikka is strategically-located behind the resort in a location that experiences less cloud activity, and as such is an excellent location for spotting the mystical Northern Lights. Enjoy an evening relaxing around the fire in the cosy lavvu whilst you keep watch for them. During the winter days, you can experience the Arctic landscape by husky-sledding and snowmobiling, or choose to visit a local Sami family and feed the reindeer. The hotel also offers snowshoeing and cross-country skiing through the forests. During the summer you can take part in water sports and make the most of the beautiful hiking routes around the area. At the end of a day’s activity, unwind in the outdoor Jacuzzi or the traditional sauna which also looks out onto the sea.
