Lofoten is a paradise for outdoor adventures like hiking, fishing, and kayaking. However, kayaking and fishing tours can be canceled when it gets windy, and hiking in the mountains can become dangerous. So, what to do in Lofoten when it rains and gets stormy on top of that? Try a sauna!
In the past two years, several new saunas have opened up in and around Reine, offering the perfect way to relax and warm up when outdoor activities aren’t possible.
So, whether you want to chill after a day outside or need a cozy spot to escape the weather, here’s a quick guide to the best saunas in Reine and nearby areas.
At Catogården, there’s a new sauna with a view of Olstinden mountain. The sauna can accommodate up to nine people for group bookings or up to six for drop-ins. You can also rent a wood-fired hot tub at Catogården, which can fit up to 8 people.
You’ll find two saunas at Eliassen Rorbuer, just a 15-minute drive from Reine. Each sauna can accommodate up to 6 people. Regular time slots are at 17:00 and 20:00, but drop-ins are also possible if available. To book, visit the reception or contact them at +47 458 14 845 or via email at booking@rorbuer.no.
Reinefjorden Sjøhus has recently added two new saunas with stunning views of Eliassen Rorbuer and Reinefjorden. For a complete relaxation experience, you can also book a private jacuzzi. The small sauna can accommodate up to 5 people, while the larger one can accommodate up to 12 people.
If you’re not staying at Reinefjorden Sjøhus, you can only book the sauna on the same day, as they prioritize reservations for their guests. Afternoons and evenings tend to be quite popular, but they are usually available in the mornings. For bookings, visit the reception or contact them at +47 907 25 683.
Now, we’re leaving the Reine area and moving to the northern coast of Moskenes and Flakstad Islands. Fredvang is a 35-minute drive from Reine. It’s a convenient location, especially if you plan to hike to Ryten or Kvalvika Beach.
The wood-fired barrel sauna at Lydersen Rorbuer is the perfect spot to relax after your adventure. The sauna is available only for private bookings—no drop-ins. For reservations, contact Sylwia at +47 92 02 02 74.
Skagsanden Beach, located in Flakstad, is a 40-minute drive from Reine. It is home to Lofoten Beach Camp, a popular spot known for its chilled vibes and great surfing conditions.
The camp’s brand-new sauna is beside the Beach Bar, offering a fantastic sea view. It is heated daily from 10:00 to 22:00 and can accommodate up to 20 people during drop-in hours. It’s also available for private bookings, with a capacity of up to 30 people.
