UNSTAD ARCTIC SURF

Arctic surf, northern lights, and all-season adventure in the heart of Lofoten.

World-class waves and warm hospitality above the Arctic Circle

Unstad Arctic Surf is a family-run surf and adventure resort located in the dramatic landscape of Lofoten. Since 2003, it has welcomed guests from around the world seeking the unique combination of Arctic nature, powerful waves, and northern lights. The resort offers all-inclusive stays in comfortable rooms and cabins, serving local Arctic cuisine alongside guided surf sessions suited for all levels. Sauna and hot tub facilities by the ocean add moments of relaxation between surf and exploration.


With small groups, experienced guides, and strict safety routines adapted to cold-water conditions, Unstad provides an intimate and secure experience throughout the year. Winter remains the most magical season, when surf sessions unfold under pastel skies and nights bring the chance of aurora. Guests stay close to nature yet return home rested, inspired, and filled with unforgettable impressions from Norway’s wild, northern coast.
