The Best Rovaniemi Hotels and Cabins for Winter Escapes

The Arctic Treehouse Hotel's Rakas restaurant is a dreamy setting for local flavours served beneath pine-cone lamps, and unique experiences include ‘wool sock walks’ – a gentler form of barefoot walking that activates the foot muscles in a new way and improves blood circulation.

Cocoon-like accommodation is in stilted suites on a gently sloping hill, with views over the treetops. Some options, the Arctic Glasshouses, have two bedrooms, a kitchenette, a real fire, a sauna and an expansive deck, while Executive Suites include a nest bed, a bath with scenic views, yoga equipment and a wellness basket.

A 20-minute drive from Rovaniemi itself and 10 minutes from Santa Claus Village, this unique resorts sits between two wilderness lakes surrounded by breathtaking Arctic nature. There’s so much going on at Apukka, it’s hard to pick from activities, but choose from an authentic löyly (steam) in one of the traditional saunas, dogsledding, snowmobiling, big tube sliding, walking or kick-sledding on the lake ice and spending evenings under the stars by the nightly bonfire – and that’s just in winter.

The array of accommodation is equally dazzling: think Kammi or Komsio Suites or Aurora Cabins with the chance to see the Northern Lights from your bed, lakeside Kammi Family Suites with kitchenettes, villas with full kitchens and private saunas, or the adventurous Aurora Wagons or Ice Cabins.
