Ytri Island Retreat

Arctic Circle panoramaSea views from every roomCelebration of local cultureUntamed nature

In the heart of the Træna archipelago in northern Norway, Husøy is home to a fishing community that has lived in harmony with nature and cultivated its unique sense of tradition for generations. This powerful cultural heritage permeates Ytri. Its wooden architecture, drawing inspiration from traditional Norwegian fishers’ houses, blends seamlessly into the natural surroundings and offers panoramic views of the rugged beauty of the archipelago’s mountains. Guests can enjoy these vistas from spacious lounges as well as from rooms and suites decorated in a cozy yet minimalist Nordic style. Here, you are immersed in the traditions of the Arctic Circle. This authentic Scandinavian experience–including hiking and whale watching–extends to Ytri’s restaurant, where every dish is inspired by the day’s catch and local ingredients.

The Art of Being Alive

Leave the stress and challenges of daily life behind, 33 nautical miles away from the mainland. Over the course of four- or six-day retreats, this Arctic adventure brings you back to the essentials, combining yoga, meditation, nature walks, even rituals using cacao. The concept is simple: to let go, alternating between periods of movement and rest, between social interaction and more introspective moments, and between a wood-fired sauna and the invigorating waters of the Arctic Ocean. Sometimes it takes something out of the ordinary to slow down and fully apprecaite the present.
