Anticipate a journey with…
A fjord deep dive
Storfjord is known as a ‘slow-life hideaway’, a luxury boutique hotel situated in the heart of the Sunnmøre Alps with the most iconic fjord views. The hotel is surrounded by Norwegian forest, lakes, mountain walking paths and abundant nature and is crafted in the style of a traditional Norwegian hytte (‘cabin’). We’ll enjoy a guided hike and kayak trip in the Storfjord!
A Nordic spa
Spring is the perfect time for an indulgent spa getaway and Storfjord has a fantastic menu of spa treatments on offer. You are welcome to use their Nordic sauna and outdoor jacuzzis whenever you like. Imagine detoxing, relaxing and reviving the senses with views of the woodlands and distant mountains in crisp, pristine Autumn air.
Regional, fresh produce
The kitchen at Storfjord is renowned for its passion for local food. Expect unpretentious gourmet fine dining in a cozy log cabin atmosphere. The menu designed by Head Chef Nils Flatmark is fresh, seasonal and regional, with an emphasis on Norwegian reimagined classics. Be sure to savour Storfjord’s excellent organic honey and beer!
A certified green hotel
Storfjord Hotel is a certified green hotel and proud member of the Norwegian Organisation ‘Eco-Lighthouse’. Sustainability is at the core of Storfjord values and operational practices; they are a plastic free hotel and have commendable waste management.

Inspired yoga & meditation
Thrive on daily yoga and meditation with acclaimed InRetreat yoga instructor, Nina Butler. Each morning we’ll enjoy a transformative and inspiring Vinyasa session, and the evenings offer a relaxing yin and meditation session to help you wind down and sleep soundly. Nina’s teaching style is accessible and adaptable to the needs of our retreat group and she cultivates a non-competitive, relaxed atmosphere that enables all bodies to enjoy and benefit from the mindful movement.
An Autumn reset
Autumn is a transitional season, inviting us to reflect, slow down and turn inwards. In Autumn the days are getting shorter, the nights cooler and the air sharper. It is a wonderful opportunity to nurture your wellbeing and prepare for the coming winter. On this retreat we invite you to escape the everyday, relax, treat yourself, and rejuvenate in a scenic Norwegian fjord setting.
