Juvet Landscape Hotel

Juvet is one of the original landscape hotels, incorporating pure Scandinavian nature with modern, functional design, created by the Norwegian architects Jensen and Skodvin. Originally a 17th-century farm, the hotel is located in Valldal, Norway, surrounded by mountains and streams, with the name itself meaning ‘canyon’. The seven landscape rooms are built individually into the landscape along the bank of the Valldøla river. No room is designed the same, with all the furniture being locally produced in the region of Sunnmøre. The architect's vision of achieving a sense of well-being with minimal design comes through with floor-to-ceiling windows, which let light and nature in. See the mountains from your bed as soon as you open your eyes. Alternatively, stay in one of two Bird Houses amongst the trees or the 2 bedroom Writer’s Lodge complete with a terrace and a workspace. Relax in the Bath House, while watching the river. Get lost in the night sky while soaking in the hot tub. If Juvet looks familiar, it served as the remote modern location for Alex Garland’s film Ex Machina.
“Write. Create. And just be here. Writer’s Lodge is a place for those who want to escape from the hustle and bustle for a while, either to write something, compose music or art, or simply recharge their batteries. The lodge contains its own kitchen and the residents can choose whether they want to cook themselves or eat breakfast and dinner in the barn with the other guests. There are two bedrooms, one with a double bed (160 cm) and one with two single beds ( 90 cm)”
