Byrknes Ocean Resort

Byrknes Ocean Resort is a new hotel and experience resort on the island of Byrknesøy in Gulen, with the sea as its closest neighbour. The resort opens at the end of September 2027 and will feature 77 rooms, a restaurant, spa, activities, and facilities for weddings, celebrations, meetings and conferences.

Here, you can wake up to views of the sea, enjoy delicious meals, unwind in the spa, and fill your days with activities and experiences along the coast. Whether you come to relax, discover something new, or spend time with people you care about, Byrknes offers the perfect setting for a memorable stay.

A Restaurant Inspired by the Region

Food will be an important part of the experience at Byrknes Ocean Resort. Christopher Haatuft is behind the restaurant concept, with a kitchen inspired by the local area, the seasons, and the ingredients found nearby.

The proximity to the sea and quality ingredients from local producers will help shape the menu. The aim is for the food to tell a story about the place you have travelled to and give you a taste of Byrknes and the surrounding coast.

The restaurant will welcome hotel guests, locals, and anyone visiting Byrknes for a good meal. Here, delicious food can be enjoyed in relaxed surroundings, with views of the landscape and sea outside.

Spa and Wellness by the Sea

In the spa and wellness area, you can unwind with the sea just outside. Enjoy the warmth indoors while the wind and waves show their strength along the coast, or watch the sun reflect on the water on calm days. The views, weather and surrounding nature all become part of the spa experience.

This will be a place to slow down, spend time together and enjoy the contrast between the wild nature outside and the tranquillity indoors.

Experiences on and by the Sea

Byrknesøy is surrounded by islands, islets and the open sea, making it an excellent base for activities and experiences both on the water and on land.

Explore the archipelago, get close to nature and discover more about life along the coast. It's up to you whether you fill your days with activities or simply slow down and enjoy the surroundings.

The landscape changes with the weather and the seasons. Long, bright summer days and calm seas offer one kind of experience, while wind, waves and changing weather reveal a completely different side of the coast.

Weddings and Celebrations

With the sea as a backdrop, Byrknes Ocean Resort will provide a beautiful setting for life's special occasions. The resort will cater for weddings, anniversaries, celebrations and other events, with a restaurant, function rooms and accommodation all in one place.

Family and friends can gather and make the occasion about more than just the celebration itself. With guests staying at the hotel, there will be plenty of time to spend together before, during and after the event.

Meetings, Conferences and Gatherings

Byrknes Ocean Resort will offer excellent facilities for meetings, conferences and gatherings. Companies can combine work sessions with restaurant visits, activities and quality time together outside the meeting room.

Meeting away from the usual surroundings creates space for good conversations and fresh ideas. When the working day is over, dinner, the spa or a shared outdoor experience is just moments away.
