Villa Vassøy
Island calm, a short boat ride from Stavanger

Between city & sea
A slower rhythm, with Stavanger still close.

Life on Vassøy
Not removed from Stavanger. Just wonderfully apart.
Vassøy is an inhabited island in Stavanger’s city archipelago: small enough to feel personal, alive enough to feel local. Boats connect the island with the city, while the shoreline, woods and quiet lanes set a completely different pace.
- 01
Follow the shoreline
The signed Vassøyturen is an approximately 6 km island circuit through rocky coves, heather, woodland and open sea views.
- 02
Swim at Peisaren
The island’s public bathing bay has a beach, picnic places and smooth coastal rock—a simple outing on foot from the villa.
- 03
Catch dinner
Try shore fishing, borrow fishing gear, or arrange kayak hire with Trond before you arrive. Then light the BBQ back at the house.
- 04
Shop like a local
Joker Vassøy carries everyday groceries and fresh bread. Check the shop’s live page for current island opening hours.
Getting here
Across the water, not away from it.
From Fiskepiren in central Stavanger, route 800 passenger boats and route 898 car ferry connect Vassøy with the mainland. Direct crossings take roughly 10–18 minutes depending on the service, with a short onward walk or drive to the villa.

Things to do
The kind of days that need little planning.

- 02
Walk Vassøy
Take the signed island route past bathing coves, smooth rock, heather and traces of older island life. Allow around two hours for the full circuit.
- 03
Cross into town
Step off at Fiskepiren for Stavanger’s harbour, Old Stavanger, waterfront museums and restaurants—all easy to explore on foot.
- 04
Go further
Plan a Lysefjord cruise or a Preikestolen day, then return across the water to the quiet of the island.
