Manshausen
Steigen, Nordland, Northern Norway
Sea cabins cantilevered off a private island's stone quay in Steigen, north of the Arctic Circle.
Why we love it
A private island north of the Arctic Circle, reached by boat, with cabins built out over the water on the old stone quay of a nineteenth-century trading post. Three glass walls each, so the weather is the entertainment — and in Steigen the weather is genuinely entertaining.
Manshausen belongs to the explorer Børge Ousland, which explains the tone of the place: kayaks, diving, and mountains straight out of the sea rather than a spa menu. Northern lights in the dark months, and no night at all in June.
Best for: the Arctic, taken seriously
