HERBIVORE FEASTS

Whether you are seeking serenity or connection, your stay is entirely yours to shape. With a Private Island Stay, LILLØY is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Cook together in the kitchen, browse the Island Shop for local plant-based ingredients and essentials, or stock up on the mainland before crossing over. Each morning, a plant-based breakfast is prepared for you.

On selected dates, the island becomes KELP CLUB, our pop-up supper club where guests gather around one table for a seasonal dinner, stories and the quiet rhythm of island life. Stay the night, and let the island linger a little longer.

BREAKFAST AT LILLØY

Every morning begins with a simple but carefully prepared breakfast. Fresh bread, homemade spreads, seasonal fruit, locally sourced ingredients and freshly brewed coffee are ready for you to enjoy. Breakfast is included with every stay.

The communal kitchen is the heart of the island.

Fully equipped and designed for gathering, it invites guests to cook, share meals and enjoy the slower rhythm of island life.

For larger grocery shopping, we recommend stopping at one of the supermarkets on the mainland before boarding the boat. We’re happy to recommend the best options and help you plan your shopping before arrival.

TINY ISLAND SHOP

LILLØY is designed as an independent island stay, with the joy of cooking and gathering at its heart

Once on the island, our tiny island shop offers a curated selection of plant-based regional delights, homemade specialities, ready-to-cook meals and everyday essentials to complement your stay.

Prefer not to cook? We can arrange one of our guest chefs for part or all of your stay.

Guest Chefs

Looking for a completely effortless stay?

Upon request, we can have one of our guest chefs prepare breakfast, lunch, or dinner exclusively for your group.

From relaxed family-style dinners to multi-course tasting menus, we’ll tailor the culinary experience to your stay.

FORAGED & MADE

The island’s herbs, berries, and seaweed are foraged, and local growers and chefs collaborate to create a unique cuisine. While the Northern harvest is limited, organic ingredients from sunnier Scandinavian and European regions complement the dishes. Old, traditional Norwegian recipes blend with modern techniques, and the Aga stove enhances the flavours slowly. In addition, an outdoor fire adds a smoky touch. Guests can also join in hand-cranking delicious island gelato for an extra treat.

LOCAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Beyond the island, the Bergen region offers excellent bakeries, restaurants, cafés and local producers.

Whether you’re planning a stop before your arrival or extending your trip afterwards, we’re always happy to share our favourite places.

KELP CLUB

At select times of the year, step into a culinary playground where fellow food lovers gather. Join for dinner or add an overnight stay.

AN EVENING ON THE ISLAND

During lively gatherings, Chef Antje de Vries and her culinary companions prepare signature plant-based dishes that honour the island’s natural bounty. This is not just an ordinary dinner; it’s an adventure shared with like-minded wanderers. Rest assured, we take care of all the logistics, including transport to and from LILLØY’s kelpy oasis.

ADD A SLEEPOVER

If a dinner isn’t enough, consider booking a room on the island. This way, you can raise a few more schnapps with Chef Antje and her colleagues, and let them guide you through the next day’s culinary escapades – the recipe for a memorable getaway.
