Flatflesa Lighthouse – Your Exclusive Private Island in Norway

A Private Island Stay in Norway

Flatflesa Lighthouse is a private island stay on the Norwegian coast between Ålesund and Molde. Surrounded by open ocean, the lighthouse is only accessible by boat or helicopter, creating complete privacy from the moment you arrive.

The historic lighthouse houses have stood against weather and waves for more than 116 years. Today, the island combines coastal heritage, warm comfort and the quiet rhythm of life at sea.

Swim in the Atlantic Ocean, fish from the docks, relax in the wood-fired hot tub or gather in the old crab shack by the water. Private dining and tailored stays can also be arranged.

Accommodation – Ocean Views in Every Room

8 rooms

All rooms at Flatflesa Lighthouse face the ocean and are divided between the historic lighthouse keeper’s house and the old engine house. Here, the sea, weather and shifting light become part of everyday life from morning to night.

The standard is simple, with shared bathrooms and practical comfort. However, the setting is something entirely different. The combination of history, open ocean and having the entire island to yourselves creates a rare sense of privacy and exclusivity.

Serving food and drinks at the first station is taken care of by our staff. Out here, you should first and foremost relax and let us do the practical work. However, there is of course full opportunity to be with our chefs when the meal is prepared with ingredients you may have brought from the sea.
