Flor og Fjære

About

Flor og Fjære is one of Stavanger’s most enchanting escapes, a privately created island garden that feels almost unreal in its colour and calm. Reached by boat from the city, the journey sets the tone: a slow glide across the fjord before arriving at a landscape shaped with meticulous care. Exotic flowers, sculpted lawns, palm-lined paths and quiet ponds unfold in a series of immersive garden rooms, each designed to heighten the contrast between Norway’s rugged coast and this lush oasis. Visitors wander at their own pace or join guided walks that reveal how the family behind the project transformed bare rock into a flourishing botanical retreat. A restaurant overlooking the water completes the experience, offering seasonal dishes that match the setting’s elegance. Flor og Fjære is both a horticultural achievement and a serene getaway, ideal for travellers seeking beauty, tranquillity and a memorable break from the city.

Location

Flor & Fjære is located on the island of Sør-Hidle in the Stavanger archipelago, with departures from Stavanger’s quayside, about a 20-minute boat ride from the city center. It is best known as a unique garden and dining destination set in a sheltered coastal landscape just outside Stavanger. Nearby, the main attraction is the Stavanger region itself, where visitors often combine Flor & Fjære with other highlights such as the historic old town of Gamle Stavanger, the Norwegian Petroleum Museum, and boat trips into the Lysefjord. If you are planning a longer stay, Preikestolen is one of the region’s most famous landmarks and is widely regarded as a must-see natural attraction near Stavanger. The setting around Flor & Fjære is part of what makes it special: the ride across the fjord, the island location, and the surrounding coastal scenery create an experience that feels close to nature while still being within easy reach of Stavanger.
