If your definition of luxury involves peace, quiet and privacy, Norway is likely to match every expectation of this description. Gazing out across the silent, snowy terrains, you’ll feel like you’ve reached the edge of the world. Beauty is a central part of this vision too; the vast, sweeping fjords and clear, star-strewn skies provide a dream-like backdrop for your sumptuous stay. Start in the stylish capital of Oslo, beloved by art aficionados for its collection of on-trend galleries and by foodies for its assortment of up-and-coming restaurants.
Venturing further out into the rugged wilderness of the Valdres region, cocoon yourselves in a cosy and plush log cabin, complete with a private sauna and comforting wood-burning stove. While our Norway luxury holidays allow ample time for relaxation, there are also plenty of adrenaline-inducing activities which can be woven into your itinerary. Intrepid explorers can embark on a cross-country skiing expedition across Svalbard’s icy expanse or soak up the surroundings on a husky-sledding safari in Finnmark.
Luxury also comes in the form of world-class cuisine. Once you’ve indulged in an assortment of soothing spa treatments, treat your tastebuds to some authentic Norwegian fare, such as fresh røkt laks (smoked salmon) layered on warm grovbrød (Norwegian bread). The jewel in the crown of Norway luxury holidays is undoubtedly the chance to see the elusive Northern Lights. Our experts can advise on the best times and places to catch a glimpse of them, from the untainted skies of Svolvaer – the capital of the Lofoten Islands – to the northern town of Alta, aptly nicknamed ‘the City of the Northern Lights’.
