Attme Have: Find tranquillity and peace above the Arctic circle

The magic of Northern Norway is no longer a secret shared by a few adventure travellers. Travelling here has become easier and more people get to experience the midnight sun and the northern lights. But it’s still possible to find more secluded accommodation, away from the crowds.
Attme Have is owned and run by Leikny Edvardsen and her husband Tom. They left the busy city life in Tromsø for more peaceful living. Edvardsen had dreamt of having her own yoga studio, somewhere close to the sea. They finally found the perfect place to build their dream in Dyrøy, 69 degrees north.
So in the end, she got her yoga studio. But with the slightly remote location, the couple decided to also offer accommodation for the participants. And a new business was born.
Guests can choose between four double rooms, two apartments and two stand-alone huts. The AuroraHuts are mostly glass, with curtains for privacy, offering stunning views of the sky and the sea. During the polar night the sun never goes above the horizon and this is the perfect time to see the northern lights. And best of all, there is no need to leave the bed.
The Storm hut is right by the waterfront, whereas the Panorama hut is located a bit higher up, amongst the trees. Panorama naturally offers panoramic views, but it also feels more secluded. “All you see is the woods, the sea, Dyrøya and Senja,” says Edvardsen. “You feel like you’re in a different world.”
