Glass Igloos Under the Northern Lights

In Finnish Lapland, Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort is famed for its glass igloos beneath the aurora, with log chalets and snow igloos, several themed restaurants and bars, Finnish smoke saunas and husky and reindeer safaris.

A bucket-list Arctic winter

Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort sits in Finnish Lapland, split into a West and an East Village and positioned for viewing the northern lights, with the East Village opening onto 200 km of cross-country ski trails toward Urho Kekkonen National Park. Accommodation is the draw, from small and large glass igloos with glass roofs and private saunas to Kelo-glass igloos combining a log chalet with a glass igloo, log chalets and cabins, snow and ice igloos, and a Luxury Kelo-Glass Igloo for up to twelve. Dining spans themed venues, from the Aurora and Planetarium restaurants to the Korsu and Smoke Sauna restaurants, with bars including the Igloo Bar and the Igloo Tower sky bar on a 30-metre glass deck. Finnish sauna culture runs deep, with smoke saunas and an ice pool for dipping and private saunas in many rooms. Experiences include husky and reindeer safaris, aurora hunting by horse sleigh, gold panning, a Santa visit and the Cosmos complex with its planetarium. Built largely from Lapland Kelo pine, it suits couples, honeymooners and families who want glass igloos under the aurora and Finnish sauna culture, at its best in winter.
