Malangen Resort

On the edge of Malangen Fjord, just an hour south of Tromsø, lies Malangen Resort, a retreat where Arctic wilderness and comfort come together in perfect harmony. Surrounded by snowy peaks and still waters, this is a place where the drama of the north unfolds in every direction and where the magic of the Northern Lights in Norway can be experienced at its most vivid. Malangen Resort is more than a hotel, it is a sanctuary for travellers seeking soulful luxury, combining the thrill of Arctic adventure with the calm of a fjord-side haven.

Days at Malangen are filled with authentic experiences that immerse you in the landscape. Glide across snow-covered trails on a husky sled, trek into silent forests on snowshoes, or meet reindeer and discover Sámi culture. For those looking to explore even further, guided ski tours and ice fishing on frozen lakes bring you closer to the rhythms of life in the Arctic. As the light changes and evening falls, the attention turns skywards. With almost no light pollution, Malangen offers some of the clearest and darkest skies in northern Norway, making it an ideal base for chasing the aurora borealis. At the Wilderness Camp, a secluded spot away from the resort, you can sit by a crackling fire wrapped in blankets, sipping hot drinks as the northern lights flicker and swirl across the horizon.

Inside the resort the warmth continues, with interiors designed for comfort and relaxation. The Arctic Spa invites you to restore body and mind with a traditional sauna or an outdoor hot tub session beneath the stars. The restaurant celebrates the flavours of northern Norway with seasonal menus inspired by local produce, from coastal fish dishes to reindeer and Arctic char. Whether you dine by candlelight or watch the snow fall through wide windows overlooking the fjord, every meal reflects the surrounding landscape.

Accommodation at Malangen ranges from stylish fjord-view rooms to private cabins that frame the mountains and skies. Each option is designed to bring the outside in, so that even quiet moments spent indoors remain connected to the beauty of the fjord and the vast Arctic skies above. For those who want to blend adventure with stillness, evenings can be spent around a private bonfire, indulging in a sea sauna ritual, or simply watching the snow settle as silence descends over the fjord.

With Off The Map Travel every stay at Malangen is tailored to the individual. Some may want days full of adventure, with husky sledding, snowmobiling and reindeer encounters, while others may prefer a slower pace, combining mindful walks with spa rituals and fireside evenings. Every itinerary is designed to reflect your rhythm and your own story of the Arctic.

Luxury at Malangen is defined not by extravagance but by meaning. It is the deep breath of fresh Arctic air as you step outside on a crisp morning, the warmth of firelight after a day in the snow, the slow unfolding of an aurora across the fjord, and the sense of stillness that comes from being in tune with nature. Malangen Resort offers space to reconnect, to pause, and to witness the wild beauty of Norway in its purest form. With Aurora Nights and Off The Map Travel, Malangen becomes not just a destination, but a canvas for your own northern story, painted with fjords, peaks and the unforgettable light of the Arctic sky.
