Å-Hamna Rorbuer is an overnight accommodation business consisting of 16 carefully restored 100 year old rorbu cabins. All of the cabins are of high standard and were previously used by visiting fishermen. 12 of our cabins are situated in Å, and 4 in Sørvågen, 3 km east of Å.

Å Vandrerhjem (Å HI Hostel): The hostel is located at Å Vandrerhjem and in rooms at Lofoten Stockfish museum (www.lofotenferie.com). The Nordland-style house, Hennumgården, is 150 years old and has 8 double rooms, shared lounge, kitchen and bathroom. This youth hostel has been painstakingly restored and is located in the middle of the museum area. This is the most inexpensive accommodation alternative in Å. Hennumgården's garden is part og the Historical Gardens project (www.lofothager.no)

Two holiday homes: Tonehuset and "Stasjonen" with seaview, 2 floors with 50 sq. metres floor space each. Quiet, idyllic location close to rambling terrain and quayside.

Lofoten Stockfish Museum, which belongs to Å-Hamna Rorbuer, has 4 rooms to let with 2 to 5 beds per room. Something of a novelty staying in the only stockfish museum in the world, at the end of the Lofoten road! Shared shower, toilet and kitchen.

Spending the night in the tiny fishing hamlet of Å with its 150 inhabitants, at the end of the Lofoten road, is an experience in itself.

The cabins at Sørvågen ...

are like the ones at Å, but face the north. Evening sunshine and excellent view of quayside architecture, the sea and the mountains. And last but not least, this is the only place in Lofoten where you can see the entire Lofoten Wall eastward from your patio: A fantastic sight both in the evening sunshine and at sunrise.
