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.

About Norway
Norway is a fascinating destination for a luxury, tailor-made holiday. The land and the culture of Norway lend themselves to a diverse and rich array of holiday experiences and a choice of mode of transport. At first glance, Norway offers magnificent, dramatic, severe and wild natural surroundings in its glaciers, Arctic snow and ice, majestic fjords, crashing waterfalls and mystical natural phenomena such as the Aurora Borealis and Fata Morgana. However, Norway also offers cultural ties, a shared history dating from the days of the Vikings, a cosiness in its orchards and pastures, brightly-painted wooden houses, folk tales and mythology, world-class art, literature and music in the works of Munch, Ibsen and Grieg, to name but three, and international philanthropy as exemplified by the Nobel prize. Many towns have superb museums, ancient wooden stave churches are well-preserved, the heritage of the Vikings is visible not just in major centres such as Oslo but all around, and seemingly small places are rich with music and drama festivals. Whilst the length of Norway with is 2518 km poses a challenge to the visitor, this also means that it makes sense to use a variety of transport modes to travel around; scenic trains, sleeper trains, boat rides, coastal cruises and car-hire can all be incorporated. The landscape lends itself well to hiking and cycling and there are many national parks that offer a variety of conditions depending on your ability. Norway’s cities are vibrant and manage to blend modernity with tradition. The iconic Oslo Opera House sits a short distance from the Akershus fortress, the Old Town Hall dating from 1641 is a stroll away from the Akrobaten pedestrian bridge, a near-futuristic construction of steel and glass.
Highlights of Norway
The numerous fjords: Eidfjord – branch of the Hardangerfjord, Geirangerfjord – precipitous, one of Norway’s signature images, Hardangerfjord – rolling hills and pretty villages, Jossingfjord – vertiginous fjord in the flatlands of the south, Lysefjord – plunging cliffs, cruises and look out points, Naeroyfjord – narrow and very pretty, Sognefjord – Norway’s longest and one of the most beautiful, Trollfjord – very steep fjord on Lofoten, Vestfjord – sheltered bays and pretty villages separating Lofoten from the mainland. The Hurtigruten ferry that covers over 2500 km from Bergen to Kirkenes with over 30 stops. The Midnight Sun and the Northern Lights. Stave churches, beautifully preserved in wood, dating from Viking times, for example at Borgund, Lom, Ringebu and Urnes. Viking ships and artefacts, burial mounds and trinkets in museums throughout the country. The red, wooden houses perched stilts over the sea on the Lofoten Islands. The modern architecture of Oslo. Picking wild blueberries, sampling aquavit made from potatoes and caraway, and tasting reindeer steak with cranberries. The charm of Oslofjorden with its pretty, arty village and towns, harbours with sailing boats, islands offshore and beaches. Hike over the Jotunheimen and relish the natural landscape of this stunning National Park.
Cultural highlights of Norway
The architecture of stave churches dating from the Viking era and Viking treasure in museums around the country. The literature of Henrik Ibsen and Knut Hamsun. Folk tales and mythology. The music of Edvard Grieg and the art of Edvard Munch. Contemporary jazz and folk music.
Gastronomy of Norway
Norway’s gastronomy is a clear reflection of its land and sea. From the land come reindeer, venison, lamb, cured meats and potatoes of all types: boiled, roasted and fried. From the freshwater lakes and streams come salmon served grilled and smoked, and freshwater fish. Sea fish is a vast array of cod, haddock, shrimps, mackerel, fish soup, fish balls, salt cod. From the orchards particularly around the Hardangerfjord come apples, cherries and plums as well as berries of all sorts including blueberries, cranberries, bilberries and, a great delicacy, cloudberries. Cheeses include Jarlsberg and brown cheese. Coffee is almost certainly the national drink, followed by beer, of which there are all sorts of craft beers brewed locally, and Aquavit is the national spirit made from potatoes and caraway.
