As a hospitality portfolio built around modern golf courses in scenic destinations, The Cabot Collection has been on a roll recently expanding from its original Nova Scotia home base to now owning seven properties across the globe. And after just announcing the acquisition of its first property in continental Europe, the brand has now made public an investment in Lofoten Links in northern Norway.
At Lofoten, one of the few courses located above the Arctic Circle, 24 hour-long summer days give way to crisp fall evenings where the northern lights have been known to make an appearance above the golf course's manicured fairways. Tee shots and approaches are played between lava fields while snowcapped peaks frame the Norwegian Sea in the distance. "We are thrilled to join forces with Lofoten Links, a spectacular property that effortlessly aligns with our vision of delivering world-class golf and experiences across the globe’s most remarkable destinations," said Ben Cowan-Dewar, CEO and co-founder of Cabot. "General Manager Frode Hov is a true visionary, and we couldn’t be more excited about the future of this extraordinary site.”
A must for any Cabot location, Lofoten complements golf with upscale lodgings and alternative activities such as horseback riding, hiking and kayaking. In making a strategic investment in Lofoten Links, Cabot's goal will be to improve these offerings over time while growing the profile of the remote golf destination.
