Welcome to the Aurora Borealis Observatory
A Prime Location for Northern Lights Viewing
When planning your aurora borealis holiday, location matters. Our resort is situated in one of the world’s most reliable regions for northern lights viewing, with dark surroundings and minimal light pollution.
Our team has extensive experience with the aurora and will guide you to make the most of your stay. As the northern lights are weather dependent, clear skies are essential — but when conditions are right, you are already on location and ready to experience the magic without the need for long bus or car tours.
Instead of “chasing” the northern lights, you can enjoy the comfort of staying where the sky is dark and open. Our hosts will always notify you when the aurora appears.
During your stay, you can also explore the culture and landscapes of Senja Island. Enjoy the silence, the Arctic nature, and a peaceful atmosphere where your experience is in focus.

One of the advantages of staying at Aurora Borealis Observatory is that you are already in a prime location for northern lights viewing. When the skies are clear and the aurora appears, our team will notify you so you never miss the experience.
We are also happy to assist with photos if you wish to capture the moment.

The Aurora Borealis Observatory is a small family driven resort located at Senja Island in Northern Norway. It is safe to say that we love the aurora and feel lucky and blessed being able to live at such prime location.
Conservation and sustainable use of resources – natural, social and cultural – is very important for us.
The Aurora Borealis Observatory is for those who really want to experience nature, silence and to get total relaxation, while hopefully enjoying the amazing Aurora Borealis.
Enjoy your Aurora Borealis Holiday
