Indulge yourself on your upcoming holiday and visit Northern Lapland, a region above the Arctic Circle that boasts one of the highest displays of the Aurora Borealis.

During your stay, you’ll get to experience the best of what Lapland has to offer in winter. You will immerse yourself in a variety of experiences, from the exhilarating pursuit of the elusive Northern Lights to the soothing and relaxing moments in a smoke sauna.

We are not forgetting the cultural side of things either, as you learn about the vibrant history and customs of the indigenous Sámi people on a visit to the local Sámi museum. At the local reindeer farm you’ll not only get to feed the animals but also learn about the importance of reindeer in the local culture and economy, past and present.

Your home base will be in Ivalo, a picturesque village bordering one of the most remote and least visited wilderness areas of Western Europe. The top-class apartments are in the center of the village, just a few minutes' walk from the shops.
