Hotels with Breakfast Included in Austevoll

For those who find their peace on the water, the Austevoll archipelago offers a true maritime escape just south of Bergen.

This is a place defined by the fishing industry and a deep connection to the sea, where the main activity is hopping between islands by ferry or boat.

Visitors come to fish for cod and mackerel in the North Sea, hike the coastal trails on Storebø island, and watch the daily auction at the Bakkavör fish processing plant, a true local spectacle. The landscape is one of weathered granite, sheltered inlets, and open ocean horizons. The archipelago is best suited for self-sufficient travelers, particularly couples or solo visitors seeking quiet and anglers. Staying in the central hub of Storebø puts you near the ferry terminal to Bergen and the small grocery stores. While there’s no airport here, the drive from Bergen takes about 90 minutes, including a short, scenic ferry crossing. Having a car is highly recommended to properly explore the different islands and remote coves. Accommodation here is practical and comfortable, with a focus on functional hotels and holiday apartments that cater to fishing groups and families. You’ll find options like the Austevoll Hotel, which offers straightforward rooms and is conveniently located for exploring the main island. It’s the kind of place where you can book a simple room before heading out for a day on the fjord.
