A RUSTIC TWO-BEDROOM FISHERMAN’S CABIN ON A SECLUDED
island in Norway welcomes stressed-out urbanites eager to discon-
nect from daily life. With no internet, no neighbours and limited
electricity, the Nusfjord Village Resort’s new cabin instead offers a
chance to completely immerse yourself in nature. Wake up to breath-
taking views, spend days hiking and serene evenings on the deck
under the midnight sun after preparing your own food in the well-
equipped kitchen. A minimum two-night stay includes the 10-minute
boat ride to and from the island, a hamper of local snacks and a satel-
lite phone, just in case. nusfjord.com

ACCORDING TO THE LATEST FLIGHT CENTRE SURVEY,
Canadian travellers are trading beach chairs at all-inclusive resorts for
new destinations and experiences. Think Malta as an alternative to
popular Italian destinations and preservation-minded Costa Rica
instead of crowded Mexican resorts. Though beach vacations remain
popular, the survey found Canadians are looking for authentic cul-
tural connections through food, markets and community-led tours.
Gourmet and adventure travel remain popular, whether you’re travel-
ling solo, coupled or with family. Quiet travel is also trending,
choosing a calm, relaxing stay in smaller, more secluded places far
from busy destinations overrun by tourists. Plan off-peak travel for
even more authentic experiences and better prices. Flightcentre.ca
