Overview
Arctic Panorama Resort & Spa is a boutique retreat perched on the edge of the breathtaking Uløya island in the Lyngen Fjord. Following a stylish renovation in late 2025, this hotel combines modern Scandinavian design with the raw beauty of the Arctic wilderness. You’ll be perfectly placed to experience the legendary Lyngen Alps and the dancing Aurora Borealis, offering you a sense of total seclusion without compromising on comfort. One of the standout features here is the hotel’s own private boat, the "Whale Whisperer," which takes you on intimate tours to see orcas and humpback whales in the surrounding deep-blue waters.

Dining
Your stay is focused on sensory Arctic dining, where the menu changes with the seasons. You’ll enjoy Full Board or Half Board options that highlight locally sourced ingredients like reindeer, cloudberries, and fresh-caught Arctic char. Dine just steps from the refreshing sea breeze in the glass-fronted dining room, where the glow of the fireplace creates a cosy atmosphere for your evening meal. After dinner, you can head to the lounge bar to sip on local craft gins while the snow falls softly outside.
Meal times are indicative and may be subject to change depending on the season.
Pools and Spa
Relaxation is at the heart of the Arctic experience. You can soak in the outdoor heated whirlpool while watching the Northern Lights dance above the fjord. The hotel also features a traditional Finnish sauna with views of the mountain peaks. Please note that the use of the Spa centre, including massages, beauty treatments, and specialized wellness sessions, may be subject to additional charges.
Fjord
The hotel is situated directly on the rocky shoreline of the Lyngen Fjord. The water's edge is within a 2-minute walk from your room, providing a peaceful spot for morning reflection or photography.
Sport and Entertainment
Adventure is right on your doorstep. During the day, you can join guided snowshoeing expeditions or try your hand at dog sledding through the frozen forests. The evening atmosphere is tranquil and social, often centred around the outdoor firepit where guides share local folklore. For those seeking a thrill, the hotel organises high-speed RIB boat tours through the fjords to explore hidden coves and bird cliffs. Activities may be subject to additional charges.
Family Amenities
Families are warmly welcomed with activities designed to introduce children to the magic of the North. Kids will love the dedicated "Arctic Explorer" sessions, where they can learn about local wildlife and enjoy supervised marshmallow roasting by the fire. The hotel also provides smaller snowshoes and sledges for younger guests to use around the property grounds.
