A fairytale retreat with a wooden sauna and a jacuzzi terrace that's perfect for viewing the Northern Lights, for a once-in-a-lifetime holiday in magical Lapland.
  • Sleeps: 10
  • Bedrooms: 4
  • Bathrooms: 2
  • Minimum stay: 1 night

 

Sleeping up to eight lucky guests, you’ll discover the breath-taking Villa Wikkelä in Ranua, Finnish Lapland, right next to the glistening Simojoki river.

Boasting huge glass doors and windows, you can keep an eye on those magnificent scenes of Nordic nature wherever you happen to be… though you may find they’re best viewed from the comfort of the Jacuzzi terrace, glass of bubbles in hand.

Prefer relaxing inside? The warm open fire and traditional Finnish wooden sauna will ensure you’re perfectly cosy – especially after an invigorating day of snowmobiling and paddle-boarding on the river!

All that’s left to do is pour your evening tipple of choice, and await the appearance of those elusive Northern Lights. You’re in one of the best locations in the world to view them, so sit back, relax… and enjoy the show.
