Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort East Village

Northern Lights, Smoke Saunas and Husky Safaris: The Ultimate Lapland Experience

"In Finland, 250km north of the Arctic Circle, the Michelin-recommended Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort is in the business of delivering once-in-a-lifetime experiences. With the aurora borealis, midnight sun and polar night bewitching the heavens here, much of the emphasis is on sky-gazing. There are neat rows of luxe glass igloos to sleep in, as well as a planetarium and a sky bar on-site. You can even chase the Northern Lights on horseback, riding amongst snowy pines as the sky blazes green and purple. But bring your gaze down from the heavens, and you’ll discover there’s much more to this ultimate Lapland experience. At Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort you can build your own itinerary from a lengthy menu of activities, from soothing wellness treats to high-octane adventures. Relax in the world’s largest smoke sauna, embark on an overnight husky safari or pan for gold in a river where people have been trying their luck for centuries. And at Christmas, Santa is on-site too." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
