We in the Pure Lifestyle Arctic team all have experience from running accommodation and know what the guest wants. Esther Utsi has run Polmak Gjestegård and Kjølnes fyr for many years, and is known for her wonderful food and good stories. She also offers healing. Unni also runs a Spa Resort in Thailand. Ideas and experiences from Koh Phangan, Thailand will also shape the offer at Austertanakrystallen, and we are now all set for events and retreat hosting also for international groups. Note that our contact Sanju offers fantastic Ayurvedic massage - recommended! Book directly with Sanju. We can, by agreement, help to organize retreats with e.g. instruction in yoga.

Welcome to Austertanakrystallen, which is run by the Pure Lifestyle Arctic team. We are suitable as accommodation whether you want a shorter or longer stay. Feel free to come to us to find peace of mind and find new energy in beautiful nature with the special quartzite mountain right next door. The place is also suitable for courses, events and retreats, and you can then rent the whole place by agreement. We can offer meals such as breakfast, lunch packet and dinner, but the meals must be pre-ordered. Welcome to us!

As the pictures show, the surrounding area has a lot of beautiful nature to offer. You can see both the northern lights and the midnight sun from the place, depending on the season of course. You can go on mountain walks and enjoy other outdoor activities even without a car, as our place is surrounded by fjords, mountains and forests, but is located in a fertile agricultural village. We normally use Kirkenes airport, and you find bus transport from there, but you may have to order it especially from Tana Bru to Austertana. We offer pick up service from Tana Bru at an extra cost. The village has a small shop at the Bunker Oil petrol station, a restaurant and bar at Ildtoppen and soon we will offer more local experiences. You have a good starting point for visiting Kongsfjordfjellet, Berlevåg , Syltefjord and Båtsfjord only approx. 1 hour drive away - highly recommended! The rest of the beautiful Varanger Peninsula can also be experienced as a day trip if you stay at Austertanakrystallen.
