Here, you enjoy exclusive access to an entire island, with no permanent residents, no neighbours and no disturbances.

Omnøya Private Island Signature

is one of Helgeland’s most exclusive experiences – where luxury is defined as space, tranquillity and presence, and where the interaction between people and nature remains visible in the landscape.

A historic home in the World Heritage landscape

On Omnøya, you stay

in an authentic Nordland house from 1849, carefully restored to a high standard. The house bears traces of a life lived close to the sea – shaped by fishing, weather, seasons and coastal culture – combined with modern comfort.

The property offers consistently high quality and includes:

  • four spacious bedrooms
  • beds and textiles of hotel standard
  • modern bathrooms and facilities
  • a fully equipped, high-quality kitchen
  • boathouse and private pier
  • hot tub with views of the sea and open horizon

Here, you live immersed in nature – without sacrificing comfort.

The eider duck – part of the island’s soul

Omnøya lies within a landscape shaped by generations of coastal people and eider duck keepers. For centuries, people have cared for the birds – building small stone shelters, clearing beaches and creating a rare interaction between humans and nature.

This is the very essence of the Vega Archipelago World Heritage Site:

a living cultural landscape where care, silence and respect have created balance.

As a guest on Omnøya,

you stay within this landscape – not as a spectator, but as a temporary steward of a place with deep historical significance.

Live on your own island

Omnøya offers a level of privacy few destinations in Europe can match:

  • the entire island is exclusively yours
  • full control over time, pace and content
  • no visibility, no noise, no other guests

This is a place for reflection, conversation and calm

–for decisions, creativity and genuine presence.

The sea as your closest neighbour

  • The island is surrounded by a rich and varied archipelago:
  • sheltered waters for kayaking and quiet paddling
  • easy boat access for fishing and short excursions
  • proximity to Skogsholmen and Havkanten – yet complete isolation when desired
  • The sea is always present – visually, audibly and mentally.

Hot tub, seasons and raw nature

The hot tub is a central part of the experience:

  • warm baths under the midnight sun
  • starry skies and northern lights during winter
  • changing weather and storms at a safe distance

Omnøya is a year-round destination

–each season gives the island a new expression, new light and a new atmosphere.
