Strand Fjordhotel  

On Ulvik’s waterfront by the Hardanger fjord — a cozy boutique hotel right in the center of town. It’s a 1-minute drive from Ulvik Church and about 9 minutes from the main Hardangerfjord access. A family-friendly, waterfront stay built for nature lovers and fjord-hopping.

Fjord views and a spacious waterfront terrace set the tone. The boutique property has 50 guestrooms with electric kettles, complimentary tea and instant coffee, private showers, hairdryers and daily housekeeping. The restaurant side features about 20 meters of windows for panoramic fjord and mountain vistas.

Expect a waterfront terrace and garden, bar/lounge, alfresco dining, room service, luggage storage, parking and children’s playrooms. The on-site B-Active Center runs 30+ activities — biking, boating, kayaking, fishing gear rental, half- and full-day excursions, workshops and courses — so you can wake up to sea-breeze mornings and head straight for adventure.

Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi across rooms and public areas, a public computer station and a reception hall for small events. Staff speak multiple languages and parking is available for guests.

A waterfront restaurant with alfresco options and panoramic windows serves meals with fjord views. There’s a bar/lounge and a Belgian beer bistro offering up to 30 Belgian beers. Continental breakfast is offered daily for a fee, and room service is available.
