Arctic Lofoten Links joins the ever-growing Cabot Collection

The Canadian developer is set to add the acclaimed Lofoten Links course to its burgeoning resort portfolio.

The Cabot Collection, known for its dazzling array of luxury resorts and golf destinations, is thrilled to announce its latest venture: an investment in Lofoten Links, a breathtaking gem nestled in Norway’s remote Lofoten Islands.

This move marks a significant milestone in Cabot’s international expansion, adding a unique Scandinavian property to its growing roster of elite destinations.

Ben Cowan-Dewar, CEO and co-founder of The Cabot Collection, is over the moon with the partnership. “We are absolutely delighted to join forces with Lofoten Links. This remarkable property aligns perfectly with our vision of offering world-class golf experiences in the globe’s most stunning locations,” Cowan-Dewar shared.

“General Manager Frode Hov is a visionary in his own right, and we’re excited about the bright future that lies ahead for this exceptional site.”

Lofoten Links holds the distinction of being the world’s northernmost links-style golf course, perched above the Arctic Circle.

Its dramatic landscape has earned it high praise, ranking No. 24 globally by Golf Digest and No. 88 by Golf Magazine, with 18 challenging holes set against a backdrop of rugged coastlines and the ever-changing Arctic skies. During the summer, you can enjoy the course under the midnight sun, while in the fall, the northern lights provide a one-of-a-kind spectacle.

But Lofoten Links offers more than just exceptional golf. It’s a gateway to experiencing the raw beauty of Norway’s coastline. The property features cosy Nordic-style lodges that harmonise with the stunning natural surroundings and a charming restaurant that serves up local delicacies.

For those seeking adventure, there’s a range of activities including horseback riding, hiking, and kayaking. Positioned right on the edge of the island, it’s also an ideal spot to witness the northern lights, one of nature’s most awe-inspiring phenomena.

The company has also recently unveiled Cabot Bordeaux in France, a top-tier destination blending golf and wine. Other prestigious properties in their portfolio include Cabot Cape Breton in Nova Scotia, Cabot Saint Lucia in the Caribbean, Cabot Revelstoke in British Columbia, Cabot Citrus Farms in Florida, and Cabot Highlands in Scotland.
