Vestlia Resort: The Most Incredible Resort in Geilo

Vestlia Resort, designed by Helene Jennie, is a utopia in Geilo. What can I say, the amazing vistas of the Norwegian mountain ranges on all sides took my breath away at first sight.

Geilo is a hidden gem for hiking, bicycling, and skiing, with rugged slopes, cross-country paths, and glacier trekking. I arrived in the most amazing Ski Village of Norway, Geilo, after crossing many Fjords, snow-capped mountains and dimly lit tunnels. This beautiful tiny village is not just on everyone’s must-see list in Norway, but it’s also an analogy for how nature is transforming itself. Geilo is a favoured ski destination for thousands of years. You might be surprised to learn that this is possibly Norway’s most picturesque region.

I was able to spend two whole days here without seeing anything but the most stunning summer scenery on the planet. I’d been wondering all along what it would be like to see the midnight sun and northern lights from this vantage point.

Vestlia Resort in Geilo

Vestlia Resort, designed by Helene Jennie, is a utopia in Geilo. What can I say, the amazing vistas of the Norwegian mountain ranges on all sides took my breath away at first sight. The mythical candle-laden interiors are, as if, you have walked right into the beautiful sets of a storybook. I met a lot of folks from Oslo and Bergen during my stay. They shared reasons why Vestlia Resort in Geilo is their favourite come-to weekend destination.

The vibe at Vestlia Resort is exceptionally positive, owing to the amazing service, pleasant accommodations, and delicious cuisine. In the summer, you won’t be able to ski, but you may visit the local museum, theatre, and market. I was enthralled by the splendour of Vestlia Resort and decided to spend as much time as possible inside.

If accommodation matters, the ski-in/ski-out Vestlia Resort in Geilo will astound you with its breathtaking views. A room with a sofa, and a balcony with amazing views, is the least stunning of its attractions.

Vestlia Resort, set on Bakkestolvegen’s hilltop, offers a variety of services to its guests. From the magnificent oak furnishings to the wonderful Spa, staying at this resort makes all the difference. I stayed in a double room with a sofa that matched the tone of the hamlet. Penthouse Hamsun and Victoria, which start at € 250 per night, add to Vestlia’s opulence.

Restaurants at Vestlia Resort

When you leave the luxury guestrooms, you’ll find yourself in the foyer, where you’ll find an entire cosmos of hardwood furnishings. I recall wandering silently on the wood-decked floors while admiring the Reindeer head wall décor, gorgeous chandeliers, and comfortable sofas that beckoned me to indulge in some lazy lounging.

The candle cove led me to a magic place! Who would have guessed that for a restaurant name right? Vestlia’s in-house restaurant, “Magic Place,” is where I had one of the greatest Norwegian dinners. 

To enhance the flavour and quality of the food, the chefs employ traditional cooking techniques. However, we believe it is their ingenuity and innovation that brings forth the most delicious flavours. Excellent dinner, excellent service, and I concluded my last night in the hotel with a drink by the open fire at Hunter’s Bar.

Fitness and Wellness

The next day started with a swim in Vestlia’s semi-heated private pool, tucked down in the basement. This Pool arena has a sauna, hot tub, and a kid’s pool, as well as a superb Horse painting on the front wall. The buffet breakfast is excellent, but if you go beyond the mechanised wooden gate, the cold will catch up.

If you visit during the winter, the Resort offers three hours of complimentary ski training. I can’t wait to go in the winter and ski over the vast network of zig-zag cross country trails. Visit Vestlia’s 9-hole golf course if you want to indulge in some golfing luxury. Overall, my stay at Vestlia was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I recommend this hotel to anybody travelling this way.
