Where Jomfruland lowers its shoulders
When the pace slows down and the island falls quiet, Jomfruland opens up in a completely different way. At DNT Øitangen, you will stay at the northernmost tip of this entirely car-free island—surrounded by the sea, the national park, and ever-changing coastal nature.
Here, you will find plenty of room to just be together: cook meals as a group, gather around the open fire pit, and feel the silence descend. The shoulder seasons offer the perfect space for reflection, mindfulness, and yoga—either out in our beautiful courtyard or inside our dedicated yoga and meeting room in the barn. March, October, and November on the island are truly something special.
Coastal Adventures and Wildlife
During your stay, you can explore everything this unique island has to offer:
- The National Park Visitor Center: Learn more about both the marine and land-based national parks.
- World-Class Birdlife: Discover the island's unique bird species or join a bird-ringing session organized in collaboration with BirdLife Telemark.
- In Kittelsen's Footsteps: Take a historic walk through the landscapes that inspired the famous Norwegian artist Theodor Kittelsen.
- Island Biking: Rent a bicycle from the local legend "Sykkel-Knut" to explore the island at your own pace.
Whatever you wish to experience, we are happy to help you with the arrangements.
Your Private Island Escape
Øitangen consists of four charmfull cabins with a total of 52 beds. It is the perfect venue for groups of friends, courses, small businesses, yoga retreats, or families who want to experience having the island almost entirely to themselves.
Your journey begins the moment you step onto the ferry from Kragerø—and from there on out, the rest of your stay unfolds peacefully on foot or by bike.
Affordable accommodation. Eco-friendly travel. Real island life. Welcome to Jomfruland—when the island is at its most authentic.
