In an exciting development for the hospitality and tourism industry, a fully booked summer season in 2024 for Floating Villa Bergen has sparked the creation of five new floating hotel rooms. As a response to Norway’s growing tourism demand and strict maritime regulations, these state-of-the-art floating properties are a perfect blend of luxury, innovation, and sustainability. These villas, built to yacht standards and registered as boats, offer an unparalleled experience to travelers while maintaining the highest level of environmental and operational compliance.
Roar (Sam) Nilsen, the R&D director, created the feasibility study for this groundbreaking project, ensuring its viability from concept to execution.
Pioneering Floating Properties
Norway’s floating properties aren’t just homes or hotel rooms—they are mobile, self-powered units that can be placed on water or land. Each floating villa is designed for optimal flexibility, whether moored in a scenic bay or placed inland on a steel frame. This adaptability makes these properties versatile, ideal for owners who want to move their space to different locations or developers looking to build a unique, movable hotel network.
