Just outside Bergen, the four-room design-led retreat takes up a beautifully restored manor house surrounded by forest, sea and Nordic landscape. Interiors are pared-back and warm: timber textures, soft linens and huge windows framing the endlessly shifting light. Days revolve around being outside – cold-water swims (it’s still the North Sea, even in summer), cycling trails, long breakfasts and sunset dinners that lean into Norway’s famously long still-light evenings. It feels remote in the best possible way: totally restorative (sauna sessions daily), quietly peaceful and refreshingly different from the usual Mediterranean circuit.
