Gleaming glass igloos and traditional wooden chalets (plus the world's largest smoke sauna!) nestle amongst unspoilt nature in magical Finnish Lapland.

Sleeps: 2-12
Bedrooms: 263 chalets & igloos
Bathrooms: Ensuite
Minimum stay: 1 night

Taken straight from the pages of a glistening Nordic fairytale, Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort is surrounded by mesmerising nature in the Saariselkä region of Finnish Lapland.

Well-known as the gateway to the ski slopes of Urho Kekkonen National Park, the snow-capped views are magnificent – something the resort’s beautiful accommodation showcases to its fullest extent!

Bed down in a thermal glass igloo, complete with a transparent roof and a luxury bed, or a traditional wooden chalet with a private sauna (though if your accommodation doesn’t feature one of those, don’t worry – you can always relax on site, in the world’s largest smoke sauna, instead).

Retreat chosen, you can savour Laplandic cuisine in one of two a la carte restaurants… perhaps washed down with a glass or two of bubbles to celebrate your good holiday fortune!
