Kråkenes Lighthouse

The Western Fjords


This remote lighthouse lies at the end of a spectacular 42km drive from Maløy, and it's a place which takes getting away from it all to another level. Inside is a fancy bridal suite (complete with circular bed), plus five cosy rooms in a stormhouse nearby. The suite has private facilities; rooms share a kitchen and only two have an en suite.

Sleeping here when the sea's running high and the waves are crashing over the rocks is quite an experience.

To get there, follow the Rv617 from Måløy and follow signs to Kråkenes Fyr.
