An ecolodge on the beach just for you at Sommarøy with sober and natural luxury.

Our ecolodge Båthuset, in the heart of an exceptional site, is available for rent in a private version. It’s a warm place. Many people have told us that they felt at home there. Its capacity for up to fifteen people makes it the ideal place for groups who want to keep their autonomy to discover the Sommarøy archipelago and its surroundings. An authentic stopover at the end of the world.

Whether with family or friends, as an artist residency or for a seminar or business trip, the Båthuset ecolodge will meet the expectations of those for whom silence, space and time are the true ingredients of luxury.

The lodge is located on the water’s edge, with direct access to the beach. It is south-facing and benefits from the slightest ray of sunshine, which is not a detail in our regions. The view offers, in the background, a vast panorama of the north coast of Senja Island, about ten kilometers away. The small deserted islands of the archipelago complete the foreground with turquoise waters.

The decoration of the lodge refers to Olivier’s polar sailing expeditions, who has carefully chosen a few shots from his personal collection. The choice of natural materials for the layout and furniture has been made to last over time and offer charm and comfort

An eco-friendly approach:
“The sea has taught me that sufficiency and natural spaces can rhyme with fulfillment without compromising comfort or safety.
My sailboats have always been very comfortable while being equipped with robust and reliable technical equipment. This is two essential points for the success of a polar expedition. Repairability, reliability of equipment, optimization and saving of resources, fight against waste are the pillars of sufficiency but in no way hinder the joy of living, enthusiasm and well-being when surrounded by beautiful and wild nature. Hundreds of crew members on board were able to see this with ease.

This model naturally inspired us when creating the Båthuset (the boat house) ecolodge.

Let us keep in mind that the beautiful planet Earth is our only ship.” 🙂

The original volumes (the rooms look like boat cabins) have been respected to keep an energy sufficiency more necessary than ever in cold regions and in times of climate change. The insulation, which is particularly careful, also contributes to the sufficiency of the building, as do the fifty-eight other points on which we have focused in order to be able to live comfortably while limiting its footprint on nature as much as possible.
