Golfers get the chance to sleep under the Northern Lights as the Troon managed Lofoten Links opens luxury lodgings
Lofoten Links, one of the world’s most northerly courses, has announced that visitors will now have the opportunity to stay in one of the most uniquely positioned golf resorts on the planet as it launches a range of accommodation in the beautiful setting of the Lofoten Islands
Managed by Troon, the leader in upscale golf course management and development, Lofoten Links, in Norway, sits 95 miles north of the Arctic Circle at 68 degrees latitude and can provide every visitor an experience of a lifetime, whether golfing under the Midnight Sun and teeing off 24 hours a day during the summer months or enjoying the Northern Lights, visible from late August until April.
Potential residents can choose between the newly opened lodges and apartments. The cosy Lofoten Links Lodges, which are set next to Hov Beach, around 1km from the course itself, have three or four bedrooms, kitchens, spacious lounges with fireplaces and terraces with sea views. Prices for the Lofoten Links Lodges start from 550 Norwegian Krone (around €58) per person per night, based on six people sharing a four-bedroom Deluxe Standard Lodge.
The Lofoten Links Apartments range between one and three bedrooms, and are situated nearer the links itself. Guests can look forward to golf course or ocean views, plus kitchenettes, living rooms and shower rooms. Lofoten Links Apartments start from 495 Krone per person (around €52), based on two sharing.
Lofoten Links is offering special golf and accommodation packages to coincide with 24-hour golf and the Northern Lights. Meals for all accommodation guests can be arranged to be taken at the clubhouse, with the added possibility of breakfast served at their door.
The lodges are the perfect base camp for a range of outdoor activities and the absolute best spot to observe the northern lights. The lodges have clear views to the north and the open sea, where the Northern Lights appear.
Whatever the time of year, the facility’s wild location between the Atlantic and the jagged Lofoten Mountains makes it one for every traveller’s bucket list. A visit to Lofoten Links is not just for golfers – it also means the chance to ride Icelandic horses, try spectacular hikes or kayaking and, in winter, cross-country skiing.
Photo safaris are also a major attraction for the growing number of visitors to the area, as well as the many visible reminders of Lofoten’s Viking history.
