Rod & Reel

North Jutland’s Jammer Bay is a vast body of water offering a calmer setting than dramatic cliffs and fjords. Along its shores, fishing villages line sandy beaches and picture-perfect camping spots. Lyngby is one of these – your home is located just five minutes from the local beach and a six-minute drive from the larger town of Løkken (not that we think you’ll want to stray that far away).

Danish holidaymakers love this sunny isle, where houses like yours are the perfect abode for activities as well as relaxation. In a nod to traditional architecture, the apex roof and bright terracotta slates create a cheery scene, surrounded by lush green lawns. But you can notice the sophisticated edge, even from the outside – solar panels and a glass balcony give you a subtle sign that this house is all set for modern luxuries.

Inside, the decor is distinctly Scandinavian. Minimalist yet tasteful, the upstairs living space has enormous windows leading to the terrace. And your second lounge offers warmth from the wood-burning stove and freshness from double doors leading to the garden. But all this minimalist sophistication is a guise for the luxury within. The bathroom plays host to a Jacuzzi tub for champagne evenings, plus your own sauna for a post-brunch pamper.
