Beach Escapes

Experience stunning coastlines, tranquil shores, and unique seaside escapes.

Beach holidays offer a unique blend of wild beauty and peaceful relaxation. In Norway during summer this ranges from white-sand Arctic beaches (Lofoten) framed by towering mountains to hidden coves along the southern coast, the scenery is nothing short of breathtaking. Enjoy refreshing swims, coastal walks, kayaking, or simply unwind while taking in panoramic ocean views shaped by nature. During summer, long daylight hours and mild temperatures create the perfect setting for seaside adventures, while coastal towns like Trondheim or Bergen come alive with local culture and fresh seafood.


Destinations such as Northern Tenerife, Portugal and Albania offer great beach holidays year round. Portugal has an immense uninterrupted stretch of coastline and beaches are accessible almost everywhere. While water temperatures in the north can be challenging (even in summer!) in the south (Algarve or Ericeira) is more forgiving.
