Stay by the sea near the Atlantic Road – a coastal stay on Averøy

Stay by the sea near the Atlantic Road

There is something special about staying right beside the sea. The light changes throughout the day, the weather becomes part of the experience and the view can feel different every time you look outside.

At Sveggvika Bacalao Hotel on Averøy, you stay in historic coastal surroundings with the sea just outside and Norway’s Atlantic Road within easy reach.

Use Sveggvika as a base for exploring the area – or simply let staying by the sea become an important part of the journey itself.

Historic surroundings by the sea

Sveggvika is located in a former stockfish bacalao factory dating from 1922.

Fishing, seafaring, stockfish and bacalao are all part of the coastal history surrounding the property and remain an important part of Sveggvika’s identity today.

The historic buildings now combine accommodation, dining and modern comfort.

Rather than hiding the past, we want the history and character of the buildings to remain part of your stay.

Rooms with different character

Sveggvika offers several different room types, ranging from small and cosy rooms for one or two guests to larger options for families and friends travelling together.

Several rooms have views towards the sea, while others face the historic buildings and entrance area.

The rooms differ in size, layout and capacity, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your stay.

Private bathrooms feature soft towels and bathroom amenities from Rituals where applicable.

Wake up with the coast outside your door

Staying by the sea is about more than the view.

Wake up to changing light over the water, experience the coastal weather throughout the day and enjoy quieter evenings after many of the day visitors have left the area.

For many guests, this is one of the advantages of staying overnight on Averøy rather than simply driving through the Atlantic Road.

Experience the Atlantic Road at your own pace

The Atlantic Road is about much more than its famous bridges.

With Sveggvika as your base, you have time for viewpoints, short walks, coastal history and other experiences around Averøy without trying to fit everything into just a few hours.

Walk the coastal trail at Eldhusøya, stop at Geitøya or spend the day discovering more of the island before returning to Sveggvika.

Stockfish, bacalao and coastal heritage

Sveggvika’s story is closely connected to fish and the sea.

Stockfish and bacalao have played an important role in trade, food and everyday life along the Norwegian coast for generations.

This stockfish and bacalao heritage is also an important part of the story behind the name Sveggvika Bacalao Hotel.

Today, we want this history to continue through both the place itself and the food we serve.

Finish the day around the table

After a day exploring the coast, it is good to sit down for a meal.

The restaurant at Sveggvika takes inspiration from the sea, local ingredients and the culinary traditions of the Norwegian coast.

Menus and dining experiences change with the seasons.

A coastal stay for couples, families and friends

Sveggvika can be a quiet coastal escape for two or a base for families and friends exploring the Atlantic Road together.

You can fill the day with activities – or do very little.

Take a walk. Enjoy a good meal. Watch the weather move across the sea. And spend a little more time on Averøy than you originally planned.

Stay by the sea on Averøy

For many visitors, the Atlantic Road is the reason for coming to the area.

But staying a little longer gives you time to experience much more of the coast.

At Sveggvika Bacalao Hotel, you can combine accommodation by the sea with coastal heritage, good food and experiences around Averøy.
