The 135 airy guest accommodations primarily employ oak, birch and soapstone and feature high ceilings, original art and private balconies or garden patios. Be sure to request a fjord-facing room. Gourmet seafood-oriented restaurant serves a nightly changing three-course menu of Western Norwegian specialties. Other amenities include a beach with a bathing pier (open year-round), 30 acres of manicured gardens and a wellness area comprising heated indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a fitness center, hot therapy pools and a Finnish sauna. Yoga sessions, boating excursions and kayaking tours can be arranged.
