The Manshausen Resort in Norway’s Arctic Circle, off of the Lofoten Islands, is part 2 of our Norway’s best hotels & Airbnb series. You’ll see why this is Norway’s best luxury hotel, and foodies are in for a real treat. This tiny 14 acre island is part of the Steigen Archipelago. The Manshausen Hotel, owned by Norway's most prolific polar explorer, Borge Osland, is a masterclass in blending luxury, nature, and minimalist Scandi architecture and panoramic views, that had me drooling from the minute I stepped off the private boat that whisks you across the water to this secluded retreat. Almost every cabin is strategically perched over the water, with floor-to-ceiling windows that invite the outside in. The interiors, a chic, Scandinavian mix of functionality and comfort, provide a cozy retreat after a day of exploring the wilderness.

Any respectable foodie will love the hotel’s dining experience. Embracing a 'farm-to-table' ethos, the menu is a mix of food grown on the property, local produce, and an emphasis on fresh seafood and seasonal ingredients. The restaurant, a sleek yet inviting space, isn’t just a meal, but a journey through Norway's rich culinary heritage. The chefs are as innovative as they are friendly, eager to tell you about the origins of each dish, adding that rare personal touch.
Adventure-seekers and tranquility hunters alike will find something here. From kayaking through clear Arctic waters to some seriously challenging hiking in the mountains around the resort, there’s tons for outdoor enthusiasts to choose from. If you want to relax, no problem… maybe the resort’s wood-fired hot tub (pro tip: book a time before you arrive, it’s popular), or take a dip in the sea and sprint to the resort’s sauna to shake off that ice cube feeling. Manshausen is not just a hotel; it’s a destination where luxury, adventure, and the magic of the Arctic converge, creating one of my all time favorite resort experiences.
Enjoy my Norway vlog.
Why should you trust us?
The Swank Guide is supported by you. Our recommendations are 100% unbiased; we choose what we think is best. We’ve partnered with Booking.com because that ensures we can get you the lowest price. In most cases, you also have ample time to cancel.
Our goal is to save you time by finding the best hotels and experiences for you, and eliminate the stress of paying for something before you understand if it’s right for you. We work with total editorial independence. That means nothing appears in our videos as a recommendation unless we’ve tried it and loved it. These are the hotels and activities we choose for ourselves and recommend to our family and friends.
We strive to be the most trusted, the most transparent, boutique hotel recommendation service…. ever. If you choose to use our link to book a hotel, you are supporting our work. You can go around us – it won’t save you any money. This hotel commission fee supports us as we travel the world looking for the best places. Running a business costs money, and this is how we cover most of our expenses.
We curate unusual, independent, and sustainable boutique hotel experiences. We’re a small team of 3.5 people – for now. Our founder Don is an American who’s lived about half his life overseas and has traveled to over 60 countries – always looking for that perfect hotel, and often being disappointed. Before starting Swank, Don worked as an entrepreneur in the clean energy space, and then sustainable housing – one of the reasons sustainability is in our DNA.
