'We think something special happens when we combine community, work, surf, radical mountains and northern lights.'
Rolf & Stian - Founders of the Arctic Coworking Lodge (Your local hosts)
Welcome to the most Northern coliving space in the world.
COThe community is the most important thing for us! We do our best for you to feel welcome and a part of our family. Living at the lodge you will connect with other digital nomads seeking adventure. We will also do our very best to include you into our local community in the small fishing village of Tangstad.

WORKWe´re gonna make a claim. You won´t find an office with a better view. Looking out on the 913 meter high mountain of Himmeltinden, rising straight out of the ocean, it´s hard to beat.
We have a dedicated workspace with comfortable office chairs - and a dedicated phone room. Free coffee/tea all day and night, as well as weekly mastermind sessions. |
SURFLocated in 5-minutes away from Unstad, this location is premium. Unstad offers everything from big barrels on it´s day, to perfect beach-break waves for beginner/intermediate when it´s smaller. If it gets too big or windy, there are several other spots in the area for you to explore.
Rentals and courses available at a good price through local surf shop Lofoten Surfsenter |
Our coliving community
The remote-working community of Lofoten is already well-established, and has for centuries been a place for inspiration-seekers due to it's amazing natural beauty. Lofoten´s amazing and remote nature attracts like-minded people in a fascinating way. The amazing contrasts of winter vs summer is a truly staggering experience. With warm summers bathed in sun 24-hours a day and cold, snowy winters where the Northern Lights dance across the dark sky. Living in the Arctic is a once in a lifetime experience.

Lofoten is a mecca for outdoor activities, and while we are avid surfers, snowboarders, mountain runners and climbers - maybe you have something to teach us? Reach out to us if you want to check out the possibilities for doing your favorite sport!

Our coworking space
The house is designed for communal coworking and coliving with a big kitchen and lounge, a separate office space and a phonebooth. The office space is a quiet area with comfy chairs and lightning fast wifi. Daylight fills the rooms throughout the day and the northern lights in the night time. Wether you are a social or solitary worker you will find a suitable place to slam out some work.
Our small stand-up phone booth makes a perfect environment for short and effective phone-calls, and to record quality audio. Benefits of working here in the summer: Being able to spend the whole day working on your project not having to worry about the sun going down is an underrated freedom. Benefits of working here in winter: You will hardly find a cosier workspace. Make a cup of coffee and look out on the snowy mountains, and in the evening you can go searching for the Northern Lights.

The surf in Lofoten
The coliving space is located just a quick 5-minute drive from Norway´s premium surf spot, Unstad. Mild summers offers midnight sunshine and perfect beginner/intermediate waves. Surfing in Lofoten at 1 in the morning is the way to go to avoid crowds. The rest of the year is raw, cold and heavy. If you are hoping to score perfect uncrowded waves - fall and winter is the best. Local hosts Rolf and Stian will help you make sense of Lofoten's complicated coastline to score the wave of your life.
BeginnersUnstad has two surf schools available, and standing on a surfboard for the first time in Lofoten is awesome. You can even try surfing in the winter - as the rental wetsuits are of top quality.
Learning to surf in an arctic winter qualifies for bragging rights for the rest of your surfing career. |
IntermediatesWant to catch your first green wave, or are you already riding all the waves?
The beach break of Unstad is always a nice place to catch green waves easy. |
AdvancedAre you one hot rippah? One bad shredder yeah?
Then you are probably ready to check the point-breaks of Unstad! There is a left and right point break in the bay - working on different tides and swells. Does get rocky and heavy so watch out! |

You can either rent boards short or long-term. Short term you will get wetsuits and rental boards from the two surf-centers at Unstad. Longer term we suggest you bring your own wetsuit - and you can rent boards from our private selection. We have everything from foam-boards to guns.
Yoga
We don´t have a yoga instructor, but there is plenty of space to do yoga! :)
Our Coliving Acommodation
There is a total of 12 beds - with 8 of them being in our 4-man capsule dorms: self-designed for ultimate privacy and comfort. The rest of the beds are our self-made pallet beds - we are major advocates of reusing stuff! The mattresses and big duvets are awesome both in the dorm and private rooms - for ultimate warmth and cozyness.

Getting here
First off, you need to get to Norway, we would advise you to go to Oslo. From here there are daily trains and flights to our surrounding towns. Even though train tickets can be cheaper than flights, they take up to 24 hours. Compared to the 2 hour flights, it's worth the extra dime.
To get to Lofoten, there are quite a few alternatives, some of them are listed further down under the map. The closest airport is Leknes, it´s situated 15 minutes from the house and there are both direct and indirect flights from Oslo to Leknes.
Other arrivals are Bodø, Svolvær and Evenes. Leknes is the closest airport, but Evenes is generally the cheapest alternative, although it requires a 3 hour bus ride to get to the house
