“The most extraordinary place I have ever stayed. Nothing prepares you for the depth of the silence, the beauty of the reef, or the sheer generosity of the experience.”

★★★★★
“We’ve stayed here three times now. The house reef has no equal. The stargazing was, genuinely, one of the most moving experiences of my adult life.”

★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Arctic TreeHouse Hotel. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

The Arctic
Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort
Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort is Finland's original and most famous glass-igloo resort, in the Saariselka fells 250 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, where thermal glass igloos let you watch the northern lights from bed. Around 214 accommodations spread across two villages, from classic glass igloos to Kelo-Glass Igloos that combine a log cabin with a glass-domed bedroom — private sauna, fireplace, kitchenette and full bath, sleeping up to six — and a 310-square-metre Luxury igloo for twelve. The world's largest smoke sauna holds 200, with Lappish dining, an aurora-alarm service and husky and reindeer safaris. The iconic bucket-list igloo stay; for the highest comfort, the Kelo-Glass tiers are the ones to book.
The Arctic
Arctic Bath
Arctic Bath is an architectural floating spa hotel on the Lule River at Harads in Swedish Lapland — a timber circle around an open-air, ice-cold plunge pool fed by the river, ringed by saunas, that floats in summer and freezes into the ice in winter. Just 12 glass-fronted cabins surround it: six cosy water cabins on the river and six two-storey land cabins for families, all heated with wood-burning stoves. A Member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World with one Michelin Key, it pairs the sauna-and-cold-dip ritual with Scandinavian set-menu dining and dog sledding under the northern lights. Design-led Arctic wellness.
The Arctic
Camp Ripan
Camp Ripan is a comfortable, family-run cabin resort on the edge of Kiruna with one of Lapland's best aurora-viewing records — around 90 modern Nordic cabins, each with a private entrance and big north-facing windows for the northern lights, from cosy couples' cabins to four-bed family cabins. The Aurora Spa draws on Sami wellness traditions, with indoor and outdoor heated pools you can watch the lights from, a White Guide-certified restaurant, and dog-sledding, snowmobiling and the ICEHOTEL on the doorstep. A comfortable, sustainable and great-value aurora base in Swedish Lapland.
