Beautiful seaside villa in the heart of Lofoten with private dock and sauna

Welcome to our charming home in Lofoten, surrounded by dramatic mountains and ocean, with sweeping sea views in every direction. Designed for families and larger groups, the house offers 7 bedrooms, 3 brand-new bathrooms (2025), a spacious kitchen, two dining areas, two cosy living rooms, and a fireplace. Plenty of room to gather, and plenty of space to breathe.

This is also a truly special base for winter stays: thanks to the location and open skies, the property is a fantastic spot to experience the Northern Lights in crisp, crystal-clear conditions when the aurora is active.

Step outside to your private pier, where you’ll find two exclusive architect-designed saunas right by the water. Perfect for slow evenings, ocean air, and the ultimate Lofoten ritual: winter cold plunges / ice bathing followed by deep heat and fjord views. (available as optional add-ons)

Explore some of Lofoten’s most iconic highlights nearby: Eggum, Haukland Beach, surfing at Unstad, Lofoten Links golf course, and the lively fishing village of Henningsvær.

The saunas are offered as optional extras and can be rented for an additional fee.

The property

Villa Borgvåg is located at the very tip of the Borgvåg peninsula on Vestvågøy, right in the heart of Lofoten. The area has a long history as an active fishing village. Since the Middle Ages, Borgvåg has been a place where fishermen sought shelter, dried their catch, and built a small seasonal community around the famous cod fisheries. While fishing is less dominant today, the landscape still carries its maritime heritage—traces of old boathouse sites and landing spots can still be found along the shoreline.

Today, Villa Borgvåg is a freshly renovated, spacious holiday home that blends this historic setting with modern comfort. The house spans two floors and works beautifully for families, groups of friends, and smaller gatherings.

Unique amenities: private pier + two architect-designed saunas

A rare highlight at Villa Borgvåg is the private pier by the sea, with two exclusive architect-designed wood-fired saunas positioned right at the water’s edge.

The saunas are available as optional add-ons during your stay.
