A classic destination in Lapland where you can stay in glass igloos.

Located near Saariselkä, about 30 minutes from Ivalo Airport, Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort is one of Finland’s most famous winter stays. Its glass igloos let guests watch the northern lights from bed, surrounded by the fells and forests of Urho Kekkonen National Park.

The resort has two main areas, East and West Village, offering log chalets, Kelo-glass igloos, and seasonal snow igloos. Winter activities include husky and reindeer safaris, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing, while summer brings hiking, canoeing, and the midnight sun.

Dining highlights local ingredients such as reindeer, salmon, and cloudberries, and guests can relax in a traditional smoke sauna by the river. Kakslauttanen isn’t about luxury—it’s about silence, nature, and nights under Arctic light.
