Located in the tiny fishing village of Reine, beneath the dramatic peaks of southern Lofoten, Reine Rorbuer offers the chance to stay in traditional fishermen’s cabins with the spectacular Arctic landscape right outside.
The historic rorbuer have been thoughtfully adapted for modern travellers, retaining their distinctive character while providing a comfortable and authentic base for exploring the archipelago. The waterfront setting captures the essence of Lofoten, with mountains rising dramatically around the village and the sea providing a constant backdrop. From here, guests can discover Reine and the surrounding islands, whether hiking, kayaking, fishing or searching for the northern lights.
The property has 39 traditional rorbuer, ranging from smaller cabins to larger options suitable for families and groups. All have private bathrooms, while most include fully equipped kitchens, making them ideal for a more independent stay.
The property has its own restaurant, Gammelbua, housed in a historic former general store. It serves seasonal Norwegian cuisine with a focus on local seafood and ingredients from the Lofoten region.
“Staying in a traditional rorbu in Reine is one of the best ways to experience the character and extraordinary scenery of the Lofoten Islands.” - Peter Wybrow, Senior Travel Specialist
