Off the Map Travel now invites guests to experience the Northern Lights from an outdoor bed on an open-air balcony, offering unobstructed views of the Arctic night sky and stars. This unique offering is available at the new Villa Telegrafbukta in Tromsø, Norway.
According to Jonny Cooper, founder of Off the Map Travel, “The Aurora bed is dressed for warmth and comfort with layers of sheep wool, pillows and goose down duvets. It’s an amazing experience where you can lie back and take in the spectacular Arctic night sky in perfect communion with nature.”
The Aurora in Bed package is designed for comfort and convenience. The villa accommodates six guests and features a variety of sleeping options, from the outdoor Aurora bed on the private balcony to an indoor master suite with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame dramatic views. Guests also enjoy a private rooftop balcony that expands the possibilities for stargazing and aurora viewing.
Included amenities emphasize privacy and personalized service: a dedicated hostess, a private chef preparing tailored meals, and a 24/7 chauffeur-driven Tesla for local transfers. These services aim to create a seamless stay focused on relaxation and immersive natural experiences.
For those seeking additional pampering or adventure, a range of optional extras can be arranged for an additional fee. On-site wellness services such as massages and beauty treatments can be provided in the comfort of your villa. Active excursions can also be organized, including private helicopter or mini-yacht trips to explore nearby islands and fjords, as well as classic Arctic activities like dog sledding and snowmobiling.
The Aurora in Bed experience runs seasonally from September through March, the period when aurora activity and long nights make Tromsø one of the best places in the world to view the Northern Lights. Pricing for the package starts at $3,089 per person, based on a booking for six adults. This rate reflects the villa’s inclusive core services and exclusive setting, while many of the add-on experiences are priced separately.
