Built in 1917 by a respected Arctic fishing family, the villa has welcomed generations before opening its doors to guests from around the world.
Ideally located between the Arctic Cathedral and the Fjellheisen Cable Car, The Arctic Villa offers easy access to nature, the city, and unforgettable Arctic adventures.

Arctic Wellness
Arctic Wellness at The Arctic Villa is inspired by the quiet strength of the north.
Here, wellness isn't about doing more.
It's about creating space.
To breathe.
To slow down.
To reconnect with yourself.
Through conscious breathwork, sound, nature, and carefully curated experiences, we offer practical ways to regulate the nervous system, restore balance, and reconnect with what matters most.
Whether you're joining a private session, a group experience, or simply embracing the slower rhythm of the Arctic, our hope is that you'll leave feeling calmer, clearer, and more connected.

Welcome Home
The Arctic Villa is more than a place to stay.
It's a home built around the belief that where we stay can shape how we feel.
After two decades in Los Angeles, I returned to Northern Norway with a dream of creating a place where people could slow down, reconnect, and experience the beauty of life in the Arctic.
Today, The Arctic Villa welcomes guests from around the world while also serving as the home of Northern Breath—a space for conscious breathing, meaningful connection, and living with intention.
Whether you're here to explore Tromsø, witness the Northern Lights, or simply find a moment to breathe, I hope you'll feel at home here.
Stay. Breathe. Restore.
Welcome to the North.
