Villas in Løkken

About Løkken

Løkken is a former fishing village of under 2,000 people at the southern end of Lønstrup Klint. It turned to tourism after the Løkken Badehotel opened in 1895, and the centre now has shops, cafés, restaurants and the Bolcheriet sweet factory. The beach is fine white sand, compacted hard enough for cars on some stretches, while the central stretch is car-free. From May to September around 500 private white bathing huts stand in rows below the dunes, which is why Løkken is called the White Town. The houses are spread widely north and south, so some are walkable to the beach and others are a drive. Most sleep about six, many have a fireplace and some a sauna. Out of season the huts are gone and the beach is empty.

Getting to Løkken

Aalborg Airport is about 35 minutes' drive away, with Norwegian flights from London Gatwick, or connect through Copenhagen. The centre of Løkken is walkable, but the houses are spread along the coast, so a car is needed for most of them and for day trips.

When to go to Løkken

July is the busiest month, with the huts out, cars on the sand and the town full, so book early. June and September are calmer, and the huts stand on the beach from May to September. Lifeguards cover the beach in summer. From October the huts are gone, autumn storms hit the coast and the beach is nearly empty, which suits walkers who like wind.
