You can now glamp in the Arctic
Luxury campers looking for a unique experience can now head to the far north of Europe and enjoy a glamping holiday like no other beside the sandy beaches and Caribbean-esque waters of Northern Norway.
A new eco-camp above the Arctic Circle is pitched in the unspoilt Lofoten Islands and allows travellers to spend long Arctic summer days, and the 24 hours of uninterrupted Midnight Sun in June and July, next to the white sands and clear seas.
Ideal for anyone searching for an alternative to the summer heat of the Mediterranean, Lofoten provides comfortable 15C temperatures.
Adventure holiday company Off The Map Travel is offering the unusual summer beach escape, where guests sleep in an indigenous Sami tepee on the banks of one of Norway’s most picturesque fjords framed by Arctic peaks.
You’ll be given the chance to visit a top fishing spot to catch your dinner and learn traditional Scandinavian wilderness cooking from a chef. There are also wild berries and herbs for fans of foraging to create a thoroughly Scandi feast.
The three-day tailor-made trips, which cost from around £1,499 per person between June and August, include a wildlife cruise, kayaking experience and fjords hike.
Jonny Cooper, founder of Off the Map Travel, said: 'This is one of the most stunning glamping spots we’ve ever found.
'When you think of the Arctic, white sandy beaches and crystal clear aqua seas are not the first thing that come to mind, however glamping in Lofoten has it all.'
Eco-travellers who like to give a little back can even join a beach clean-up and attend a presentation about the major impacts of plastic in our oceans during their stay.
