Dreaming of Magic

The magic waits just outside the windows, in the green trees that seem close enough to touch, in the blue sky that stays light and magical all year round. This is what staying in a glass igloo at Magical Pond in Ruka-Kuusamo means. Every igloo has its own small kitchen and bathroom, giving you full control of your time and your magical holiday.

Best of Both Worlds

You could be forgiven for thinking you had stepped 100 years in the past. Standing on the porch of the modern log cabin hotel rooms of Hotel Uitoniemi, you watch the beautiful summer sky glimmering in the water’s surface. But you know that only a short walk away and you’re in bustling downtown Kemijärvi. Traditional and modern—the best of both worlds.

Gold Rush

The first gold prospectors that came to northern Lapland couldn’t Google accommodation options. They pitched tents and slept under the stars. Luckily for modern prospectors, there’s Tankavaara Gold Village in Sompio. You have your choice of the brand-new log cabin-styled hotel rooms, or you can stay in separate apartments. And for those who really want to get back to nature, Tankavaara even offers wilderness cabins reflecting the simple life of the original prospectors.

Watch the Midnight Sunset

End your summer the right way, at Naali Lodge in Posio. Nestled among boreal pines, encompassed by a string of lakes, Naali embodies the peace and quiet of Lapland. The Green Key-certified lodge offers you the chance to stay in two large log buildings built in the early 20th century. (Don’t worry; they were refurbished in 2018.)
