Hov Sauna is an outdoor sauna located on Gimsoya, one of the quieter islands in the Lofoten archipelago. The setting is raw and beautiful, with white sandy beaches, turquoise Arctic waters, and the rugged Lofoten mountains creating a landscape that looks more like the Caribbean than the Arctic, if not for the cool temperatures.
The outdoor sauna takes full advantage of its location, offering bathers views across the beach and out to sea. Cooling off means walking to the water’s edge and wading into the crystal-clear Arctic ocean. The experience is wild and free, perfectly suited to those who appreciate nature at its most untamed.
Gimsoya is connected to the other Lofoten islands by bridge and is accessible by car. The island is known for its beaches and birdlife, making it a rewarding destination even beyond the sauna. Parking is available and the atmosphere is relaxed. This is Lofoten sauna bathing at its most laid-back.
