Host Profile Picture
We are Guri and Arne, two friends both anchored in the outdoor community on the Lofoten Islands. In addition to our passion for the outdoors, we share a common dream: build up Scandinavia's coolest Hostel by creating a space where outdoor-minded locals and travelers can come together and fully experience island life above the Arctic Circle.

Coliving with us in Lofoten


Lofoten
surf in Lofoten
Welcome to FURU, your home and adventure base in Lofoten, with endless possibilities throughout the seasons - from unforgettable summer experiences in the midnight sun, to cold, crisp winter nights when the Northern Lights dance in the sky. A place where outdoor-minded travelers meet and experience island life together. 

Here you can surf, climb, hike, kayak, and go ski touring all in the same day. For the days when you need to do some work, there is a cozy dedicated coworking space.

Just choose between our minimalistic and stylish dorms, or private rooms and apartments with interiors inspired by the breathtaking landscape outside.

Our remote working community

Staying at Furu it feels like you're visiting friends and it's also easy to make new friends. There are always people around ready for an adventure.

Surfing, climbing, board games, shared meals, yoga, ice baths and road trips are a few of the social activities on offer. And the lakeside sauna with a view ⛰️, is the perfect place to relax and to get to know other travelers.

Usually, the cafe also organizes activities in the evening such as quizzes and bonfires.

Our Coworking Space

Whether you are a digital Nomad, entrepreneur, freelancer, or just simply need a change of your office view, our coworking space is the place where you can get your work done in between exploring the island of Lofoten.

As a converted loft, it is not a big office space but a cozy one with 5 dedicated desks. Each desk comes with a monitor, HDMI cable, a proper office chair and lots of hygge. Our internet bandwidth is 45-50 mbps and you can work in the office between 8am and 10pm. 

As you can imagine, the spots get booked out fast, so we recommend booking in advance if you want to be sure to get your desk spot during your stay.

The Surf near Lofoten, Norway

If you feel like catching waves in the crisp blue waters of the Arctic Sea this is your chance. Unstad - Scandinavia’s best surf spot is a mere 20 minutes from the hostel.
Here in Lofoten surfing really connects us with our friends on the islands and we love sharing the stoke for surfing with you.

Rental gear is available to book in advance or upon your arrival. If you need lessons, we recommend booking in advance as the courses with our friends at Lofoten Surfsenter often get booked out.

Their world-class teachers will make sure that you improve your skills with each session and have lots of fun in the water.

For prices and bookings, please check the website from Lofoten Surfsenter. Don't forget to mention that you are staying with us. At Furu we also have a couple of beginner softboards you can rent, but no wetsuits yet.

Soggiorno

We stayed in one of the apartments, very spacious, clean, with a large sofa and kitchen. The hostel is in a beautiful location on the lake. The café organizes activities every evening such as quizzes and bonfires. They rent bikes which are convenient for doing a bit of hiking in the surrounding area but the price is quite high, perhaps it should be lowered since they are not even electric. The food at the café is good, the staff is friendly and they make delicious cinnamon rolls. The sauna service with a view of the lake is beautiful.
