Located off the coast of Bergen, LILLØY LINDENBERG offers a unique destination that combines Nordic design, nature and soulful dining.
Just a 40-minute journey from Bergen, LILLØY LINDENBERG feels like a hidden gem; it’s an island getaway where Norway’s rugged coastline beautifully merges with refined design and a slower pace of life. This retreat, a collaboration between the LINDENBERG GROUP and the Bergen-based design team Vera & Kyte, provides a deeply personal experience for up to 10 guests. The accommodations include a spacious main house and a cosy annexe that surrounds you comfortably.
Here, serenity meets adventure every day. Moments are filled with quiet reflection, the refreshing touch of sea spray, and shared meals that turn strangers into friends. Guests can choose to book a single room to connect with fellow travellers or take over the entire island for uninterrupted seclusion, moving at their own pace and in harmony with nature’s rhythm and the ebb and flow of the tides.
At the core of LILLØY is a strong commitment to sustainability and conscious living. The island boasts its own underwater seaweed farm and flora-focused kitchen, showcasing a dedication to working in harmony with the land and sea. Meals, crafted by the visionary Chef Antje de Vries, celebrate the seasons through imaginative plant-based dishes that reflect the textures and flavours of the surrounding wilderness. For those who wish to delve deeper into their culinary experience, the charming island shop features handpicked produce chosen by Chef de Vries herself, inviting guests to cook, explore and connect through food.
Design also goes beyond mere decoration; it encourages conversation. Handmade ceramics, Nordic glassware and textured materials all highlight the beauty of Scandinavian craftsmanship. Every detail is thoughtfully curated, with each corner inviting you to slow down and be present. Outdoors, the landscape becomes your playground. Paddle serenely into the early morning stillness in a kayak, gather around a fire beneath a starry sky or relax in a sauna that draws in the fresh ocean breeze.
However, LILLØY is more than just a place to stay—it’s a canvas for creativity. The Lilløy Artist Residency brings an atmosphere of experimentation to the island, providing artists with the space to escape the chaos of daily life and tap into something deeper. Music beats at the heart of this programme, where experimental recordings arise from the natural sounds of the island. Artists are encouraged to break free from genre and expectation, allowing themselves to get lost in the creative process and discover what emerges.
Nature serves not only as a backdrop but also as a collaborator. Whether you’re enjoying a candlelit dinner, soaking in the silence or composing a track inspired by the wind, LILLØY LINDENBERG offers something truly unique: the space to simply be yourself and to find a true sense of belonging.
