Stay at Lykling: close to the ocean and the forces of nature
Do you want to sleep right on the edge of the open sea—with the weather as your closest neighbour? At Lykling on the island of Bømlo, you’ll find the Storm Cabins: a place to stay for those looking for something more than just a bed for the night.
Here, you wake up surrounded by open ocean on almost every side. In the evenings, the sun hangs low, painting the sky in warm colours well into the twilight hours. When autumn and winter arrive, the forces of nature move in—bringing wind, rain, and crashing waves. It’s the contrasts that make the experience.
