The areas history runs back to a sanatorium for the treatment of rheumatic disorders. After World War II, the Norwegian Deacon Association started a work for mentally disabled people under the name of Nærlandsheimen. In 1989, the county municipality of Rogaland took over the operations that were preparing for closure and were officially discontinued on Dec. 31st, 1990. In 1996, the property bought by Nærlandsparken AS, which started a hotel and restaurant called Nærland Gjestegard.

The Risa Group acquired Nærlandsparken in 2004 and making sure it is of good use and planning for further development of the area.
