Het klinkt misschien een beetje raar ... maar voor ons is luxe meer tijd buitenshuis kunnen doorbrengen. Veel Noren hebben liever meer vrije tijd dan een loonsverhoging.

Tijd voor wellness
Waar dan? Overal! Noorwegen is eigenlijk één reusachtig natuurlijk wellnesscentrum.
Geniet van duizenden meren en rivieren en watervallen.
Less is more, dus laat je zwemspullen maar thuis en ga eens naakt zwemmen. ;)
... neem de gondelbaan en geniet van een spectaculair uitzicht over de stad. Deze kabelbaan brengt je naar de top van de Ulriken - de hoogste van de zeven bergen van, jawel, Bergen :)
Wil je liever binnen wat drinken? Bekijk de beste Noorse skybars en dakterrassen waar je iets kunt drinken.

Ongelooflijke stranden
Geniet volop van de ruimte op duizenden witte en gouden stranden zoals bij Hauklandstranda op de Lofoten.
Het wordt nooit echt te warm en je kunt makkelijk een beschut plekje vinden, want Noorwegen heeft één van de langste kustlijnen ter wereld.

Landelijke luxe
Authentiek en nuchter. Een uitstap naar het platteland is misschien net wat je nodig hebt!
Maak kennis met de Noorse landbouwcultuur en geschiedenis terwijl je geniet van een luxe overnachting op een boerderij zoals hier bij Hoel Gård aan het Mjøsa-meer in Oost-Noorwegen.

Luxe etentjes
Voor Noren draait lekker eten om verse, gezonde, lokale seizoensgebonden ingrediënten.
En dat hoeft niet al te formeel. Bij sommige Noorse gastronomische restaurants kun je zelfs 'gewoon' je pantoffels aan!
Zo ook bij het historische Kvitnes Gård op de Vesterålen in Noord-Noorwegen - een perfect voorbeeld waar ze je zalige maaltijden recht van het land serveren.

Je kunt ook genieten van een onvergetelijke etentje in één van de vele Noorse restaurants met Michelinsterren. We zijn ook dol op een verrukkelijk zeebanket met de vangst van de dag, recht uit zee.
