Vega Havhotell

Top choice in Nordland


This isolated getaway at Vega's secluded northern limit is tranquillity itself (you won't find a radio or TV in any of its 21 impeccably turned-out rooms). It's a place to unwind, go for breezy coastal strolls or simply watch the mother eider duck and her chicks pottering. It also has an excellent restaurant and Anna and Jon are lovely hosts.
