There’s a word the Danes use that doesn’t translate cleanly into English, yet we all recognize the feeling when it arrives.
Hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) is the art of coziness. Of presence. Of warmth that’s felt more than seen. It’s not about luxury for luxury’s sake—it’s about comfort, connection, and slowing down long enough to enjoy it.
At Indigo, our modern coastal retreat in Westport, Washington, hygge isn’t a trend or an aesthetic. It’s the heartbeat of the home—and the rhythm of life on the Washington coast.
What Hygge Looks Like at Indigo
Westport has a way of naturally slowing you down. The ocean air is cooler. The pace is quieter. The days unfold without urgency.
Hygge at Indigo looks like this:
It’s stepping inside after a beach walk, shoes kicked off, fire warming the room.
It’s sinking into the hot tub as coastal fog rolls in and the night turns still.
It’s gathering around a board game while the rain taps softly on the windows.
At Indigo, hygge lives in the details:
-
Warm lighting and layered textures designed for cozy nights in
-
A game room made for nostalgia, laughter, and unplugged fun
-
Inviting spaces that encourage togetherness—or quiet retreat
-
Comfort that feels effortless and unforced
Here, nothing asks you to rush. Nothing competes for your attention

Hot Tub Nights, Game Rooms & Westport Evenings
Some guests find hygge in motion—challenging friends to Pac-Man, playing ping pong, or reliving childhood arcade moments.
Others find it in stillness—wrapped in blankets by the fireplace, a warm drink nearby, the sound of the ocean in the distance.
That’s the beauty of Westport. The coast invites you to do less—and enjoy it more.
Spend your day exploring windswept beaches, local trails, and quiet coastal streets. Then return to Indigo for an evening that feels intentionally unplanned.
That’s hygge.
A Coastal Retreat Designed for Presence
Hygge isn’t about perfect weather or flawless plans. On the Washington coast, misty mornings and stormy evenings are part of the charm.
Hygge is about intention.
It’s choosing connection over distraction.
Warmth over urgency.
Presence over productivity.
Indigo was designed to hold space for those moments—the kind you don’t photograph, but carry with you long after you’ve left Westport.
What’s Your Definition of Hygge?
Is it hot tub nights under coastal skies?
Game-room laughter that stretches late into the evening?
Or board games with the fireplace turned up and nowhere else to be?
However you define it, hygge is waiting for you at Indigo in Westport, Washington—quietly, warmly, and exactly when you’re ready to slow down.
