Allow us to introduce you to Lapland, the snowy wonderland and home of Santa Claus, and a dream destination that combines exceptional natural landscapes and unique weather phenomena as part of a particularly enchanting Arctic experience.
In addition to Lapland's numerous attractions, including dog sledding, reindeer encounters, and snowmobile rides against snowy backdrops, the highlight of the visit is witnessing the Northern Lights, a magnificent light show caused by solar particles colliding with the Earth's atmosphere, creating brightly colored skies and considered a once-in-a-lifetime spiritual experience by many.

The recently opened hotel sets a new standard for authentic Arctic hospitality and comfortable, stylish Northern Lights viewing.
Located on the slopes of the Ounasvaara Hills in the heart of Finland's wild nature, the hotel is designed with lovers of tranquility and luxury in min. Guests stay in a series of isolated panorama cabins, Scandinavian-style wood units with massive panoramic windows that stretch from floor to ceiling. The unique structure of the cabins, located at ideal viewing spots, transforms each stay into front-row seating for nature's dazzling light show, viewed directly from your warm, cozy bed.

Prices offer good value, starting at 450 EUR per night. All cabins boast panoramic views of the Northern Lights directly from the room.

According to Simon Bitton, co-founder and partner owner at the hotel with the company Kishrey Teufa: "The hotel is tailored for couples and families aspiring for the Northern Circle tour at the highest level possible, whether it involves nature hikes, snowmobiles, huskies, reindeer, and of course, the highlight, the Northern Lights. In addition to this, Rovaniemi, the Finnish capital of Lapland, is considered one of Europe's hottest destinations, with about 200 weekly flights landing from across the continent."
