The Sea House
At Hornelen Panorama, you can choose between two one-of-a-kind accommodations, each offering privacy, luxury, and in each their way – a sense of magic…
Sea House
Welcome to the Sea!
This romantic and stylish sea house delivers an instant sense of “wow” — the kind of place no one wants to leave and everyone longs to return to. Completely renovated in 2024–2025 to an exclusive standard, it offers a truly unique location directly on the water. Combined with the ever-changing views, we dare say this experience is unlike anything else in the world.
The sea house is known as *Lisjebuda*, a local dialect meaning “the small sea house.” Originally the smaller of two early-1900s sea houses used by fishermen to store boats and fishing nets. The original buildings were destroyed in a storm in 1992, but carefully preserved elements from the original structures have since been saved and incorporated as decorative details in this thoughtfully rebuilt replica, preserving both history and soul.
The sea house is entirely private and exclusively yours — a perfect retreat for stormy days and golden evenings alike. Inside, you’ll find a modern and cozy two-floor apartment, along with a spacious, uninsulated ground-level area featuring lounge chairs and sliding doors that open directly to the sea. Enjoy your private sauna with panoramic fjord views, or roll the bathtub up to the sea front door you have just opened, and soak in warm water while the ocean unfolds before you.
Sea House
A romantic sea house with an unbeatable location — floating between fjord and mountains.
Tell me more
On the first floor, you’ll find a comfortable living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and two inviting bedrooms. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking views of the sea and surrounding mountains, bringing the landscape into every moment. Open the windows and let the calming sound of waves fill the space.
The well-appointed kitchen makes cooking a pleasure — perhaps preparing your own catch, freshly brought in from the fjord. The master bedroom features a queen-size bed with a high-quality, exclusive mattress, ensuring deep, restorative sleep before a new day of adventure by the sea. The second bedroom offers two single beds, making the sea house ideal for up to four guests.
The bathroom is located on the ground floor and combines thoughtful design with comfort, featuring an exclusive waterfall shower. On the ground floor you also find your protected lounge area, the sauna and bathtub – all with a view!
Bed linens and towels are provided, and you will arrive to a warm, welcoming house with the beds already made.
Sauna and spa
After a long day of adventure — or on a cold, rain-soaked winter day — nothing compares to the warmth of a relaxing sauna followed by a refreshing Viking bath in the ice-cold sea.
Tap the bathtub with steaming hot water and enjoy a foam bath like you have never done before.
Both your private sauna and bathtub offer spectacular views over the fjord and mountains and can be reserved at any time for an additional fee, creating the perfect setting for deep rest and renewal.
Amenities for everyday living
The great outdoors at Lofnes is powerful, peaceful, and endlessly inspiring. Forest trails start at your doorstep, fjords stretch out below you, and mountains rise straight from the sea.
