A remote outpost

Experience the solitude of Isfjord Radio Adventure Hotel, a remote outpost far removed from civilization and inaccessible by road. In winter, arrive by dog sled or snowmobile, traversing glaciers and mountains. In summer, embark on a boat safari across the Arctic Ocean.

Built in 1933, the radio station’s exterior may appear rugged, but upon entering, you’ll be greeted by a comfortable hotel with a modern and inviting interior. During your stay, choose from a selection of guided adventures to explore the pristine wilderness.

As you awaken in this breathtaking setting, you’re prepared for an exhilarating day in the Arctic. Encounter wildlife as you explore; with approximately 3,500 polar bears on Svalbard, it’s not uncommon for them to visit us at Isfjord Radio. Rest assured, your safety is our top priority, and you’ll have our protection at all times.

After a day brimming with Arctic adventures, unwind in our architectural gem – the sauna. With its breathtaking view, especially when a group of whales passes by, it’s an experience like no other.

After a relaxing session in the sauna followed by a refreshing drink, prepare yourself for an exquisite and flavorful meal. We source local Svalbard produce from one of the remaining trappers on the island, allowing our chefs to craft fine dining experiences inspired by the Arctic region.

Wilderness Hotel

Isfjord Radio Adventure Hotel offers unique wilderness accommodation about 90 km from Longyearbyen. At summertime we have daily boat safaris from Longyearbyen to Isfjord Radio, in the winter a stay at Isfjord Radio is included in a snowmobile or dogsledding adventure.

The hotel consists of a main building and two separate houses containing bedrooms. Every building has separate toilets and washrooms with shower. The sauna is situated on the edge of the tundra, with a wonderful view to the Isfjorden and Forlandet islands.

Please note that Isfjord Radio is a wilderness hotel and to move outside you need a guide with rifle for polar bear protection. At summertime we have a weekly adventure program. You can buy additional adventures at Isfjord Radio with the room booking.

The best summer adventures for nature lovers can be found in the true wilderness, far off the beaten tracks. Isfjord Radio will introduce you to the true Svalbard and the wonders of the High Arctic. After an adventurous day in the Arctic playground you will return to a warm and cosy living room, a homemade meal and a relax in your peaceful home on the windswept grounds of Kapp Linné.

Spend your days exploring the wilderness together with your Arctic nature guide, and enjoy a delicious dinner prepared by your host when you arrive back at the hotel. Just as the former radio station manager hosted and served the Norewgian polar hero, Fritjof Nansen, Isfjord Radio’s own chef will prepare and serve you a tasty menu with a touch of local ingredients and unique combinations of flavours. Isfjord Radio is the perfect place to be on the lookout for the “Big Five” of Svalbard. The more time you spend in the Arctic wilderness, the more likely you are to cross walruses, polar bears, the Arctic fox, the Svalbard grouse and the Svalbard reindeer off your bucket list.
