This Nordic nation boasts innovative cities surrounded by endless stretches of unspoilt nature. Around 10% of the country is covered by water, with around 180,000 lakes making it a great destination for swimming, boating or fishing. Finnish tourism is very much a tale of two seasons, with the winter period (typically December–March) offering wonderful skiing in Lapland, snowmobile treks and a chance to catch a glimpse of the other-worldly Northern Lights. Summer sees the arrival of the midnight sun and a huge variety of diverse music festivals and wacky events. Keep an eye out for the Air Guitar World Championships and the mobile phone throwing contest. Nicknamed the ‘Daughter of the Baltic’, the capital Helsinki is a hotspot for design shopping, cultural sites and striking architecture. Finland is awash with hotels, lakeside cottages and hostels. Helsinki features the widest range of choice including a number of self-catering apartments. The more remote accommodation options tend to be open in the summer season only.

We got upgraded as we were the only tourists at that time of the year, which was very nice. The cottage was very comfy and clean.
Views are amazing and the location is very quiet.
The owner is adorable.

Situated within 9.1 km of Arktikum Science Centre and 15 km of Santa Park, Lapland Glow Chalets features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Rovaniemi.
Guest review
Could not fault this stay at all! We did a lot of research of cabins/igloos in the area and this came out top for the price, location and the fact you get a private bathroom. Everything felt brand new, the underfloor heating in the bathroom was so cosy and we never felt cold at all. The breakfast was delivered to our cabin every morning and was plenty selection of yoghurt, pastries, juice, fruit and sandwiches. The check in and checkout was seamless with us arriving at 9pm and got straight to our chalet with a code to the door meant no need for a key. We had a tv in the room with YouTube and Netflix and the wifi was speedy and easy to connect to.
I would highly recommend hiring a car if you’re going to stay here as it’s quite remote and the public transport is not very accessible so you would have to rely on taxi’s. But the car park is free and the drive from Rovaniemi and the airport is very easy.
The perks of it being remote meant there is no light pollution and the main lights outside are turned off at 9pm meaning it’s even better conditions for viewing the northern lights. We were soooo lucky to see the aurora on our last night from our bed!!! It was absolutely amazing and it paid off not paying for a tour to be out in the cold all night trying to chase them, when we could see them in our pj’s from the warm bed.
I’ve already recommended this stay to family and friends as it was a highlight of an already very memorable trip. 10/10 perfect stay.

Very nice place!
15 min away from Rovaniemi, the host are kind and considerate and the place is clean and well taken cared of.
We fed the reindeers, the kids played in the snow-there is also small toboggan place and we were lucky enough to enjoy the Aurora from the warmth of our bed!
Lovely experience!
Thank you

Guest review
Absolutely divine! This hotel is beyond words. Located on a private island, it created a perfect winter wonderland (we stayed in February) with a calm, pristine, and unique landscape by the frozen river. The staff were incredible—even before our arrival, they helped us book activities, making the experience completely hassle-free.
The food was a true culinary experience—the bespoke three-course menu was absolutely marvelous, and breakfast offered a vast selection, including homemade vegan options. We probably ate the best bread of our lives here!
Our stay was simply perfect. Plus, the hotel is being renovated to become an adults-only retreat, and we can’t wait to visit again in summer!

A splendid dinner with view on a winter wonder land snow landscape,
falling asleep with the northern lights seen (there is even an app to warn you when they are out!),
waking up "in the middle" of the snow landscape from a warm bed,
great omelet breakfast,...
Yes, this is a great place to experience the north of Finland, from a "glass igloo".
