Silence by the Sea
In the wild beauty of the Lofoten Islands
Lasting Memories
Lyra North rests on the edge of the Lofoten Archipelago, where the sea meets steep mountains and shifting light. Days unfold between the warmth of the sauna, meals shared from local harvests, and the quiet rhythm of the tide. With space for only a few guests, Lyra is both retreat and refuge — a place where nature itself becomes the teacher, and presence the true luxury. Inspired by Arne Næss, who saw life’s richness in simplicity and presence, this sanctuary offers rare stillness.
Intimacy by Design
Created for families, artists, and small teams seeking authenticity, connection and inspiration. With room for only 12 guests, every stay remains personal. Guided by a host who opens doors to local culture and nature, Lyra invites you to taste, listen, and discover the essence of the Lofoten Archipelago. Shaped in the spirit of Wenche Selmer’s architecture — honest, modest, and always in dialogue with the landscape — the spaces foster intimacy, community, and closeness to the elements.
Rhythms that Remain
A stay at Lyra North invites you into a rare island landscape shaped by sea and light. At its heart, the lodge is about artistic expression, slow living, and holistic wellbeing. Here, the absence of noise and clutter allows your senses to reset. Days follow simple rhythms — warmth of the sauna, meals shared, stillness by the shoreline. With fewer choices, you rediscover how deeply satisfying simplicity can be — carrying home rituals and experiences that remain long after your visit.
