Malangen Resort

Rooms

All rooms at the resort have views over Malangenfjord, and there are several room types. Standard and premium hotel rooms are located in the main resort buildings. Then there are also a range of standalone apartments, sea-view cabins, premium sea-view cabins and premium waterfront cabins, all of which have kitchenettes, seating areas, heating and balconies. Wi-Fi isn’t available in the cabins, and none of the rooms have TVs — the emphasis here is very much on experiencing your surroundings and drinking in those views. All rooms have tea and coffee making facilities, though self-catering is only possible in apartments and cabins.

Location

As well as looking out over the fjord it takes its name from, the resort also has views of mountains (snow-drenched in winter) and is surrounded by wild forests.
