Træna Municipality
in Norway

At the edge of the Arctic Circle, Ytrí (a name drawn from Old Norse, meaning 'the outer point') sits among the remote Træna archipelago, where low-slung buildings meet sharp, sea-cut peaks and an endless horizon. Drawing on fishing heritage, its design pairs weathered materials with clean lines and light-filled interiors. Summer days stretch long – spent island-hopping by boat, hiking to ancient caves or swimming in clear waters alongside seals and white-tailed eagles. Back ashore, a sauna, boathouse and seafood-led restaurant anchor this elemental retreat by the open sea.
