6/5 Stars: An Unforgettable Experience at Aurora Village Ivalo My partner and I just returned from the most incredible adventure at Aurora Village Ivalo, and we're still pinching ourselves. This family-run establishment, led by the visionary Juha Tuunanen, exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were part of the family. Juha's passion for creating a private and customer-centric experience shone through in every aspect of our stay. He took us on a breathtaking walk on a frozen lake, sharing his expertise on measuring ice depth for snowmobile adventures. His son, Veeti, led us on an unforgettable Aurora Chase, setting up a romantic fire by the river and capturing stunning photos of the Northern Lights for us. Juha's daughter, Minja, was the heart of the gastronomical experience, ensuring every guest felt pampered. The culinary journey was exceptional, thanks to Chef Janne's exquisite dishes and desserts. His stories of Finnish resilience and warmth only added to the charm. We also had the pleasure of enjoying a Husky Wagon Ride, organized by the hotel, which was a thrilling experience with baby Huskies snuggled up in our laps by the fire and larger dogs pulling us through the snowy forests in -15°C temperatures. The Aurora Cabins were perfect, and we were lucky enough to witness the breathtaking Northern Lights from our cabin on 4 out of 6 nights. The Reindeer Feeding experience was a highlight, feeling like we discovered our spirit animals. We also enjoyed the Panoramic Sauna & the Jacuzzi experience in the negative tenperatures. The Jacuzzi located outside offered a view of the open sky & the forest in the backdrop & it truly felt like we were soaking in a pool of warmth amidst the winter wonderland. What sets Aurora Village Ivalo apart is the genuine love and care that the Tuunanen family pours into every aspect of the experience.

Loved the personalized service we received from Reception. He answered all of our many questions! Breakfast was delicious and loved that there was a restaraunt connected to the facility as well. The spa was closed, but was able to book multiple massages that were amazing! Our apartment was lovely! Loved that the bus dropped us off right by our location from the airport in Ivalo.

The room was structured perfectly for our family of 3 and contained everything we needed, even a sauna. The breakfast was out of this world good and dinner was like eating at a 5 star restaurant, we couldn't get enough. The location is perfect as it sits on top of the ski slopes overlooking the city.

Amazing resort in the northern heart of Finland. Great value! Splendid food at the restaurant. Super tasty. Great igloo that is well designed to offer a clear view of the sky without light glare on the windows. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Get some tours, we liked the ski experience.

Good price/quality hotel. Rooms were clean, and the staff was friendly. Good location in Ivalo next to the river. Free use of equipment such as ski boots, xc skis, and ice skating shoes was a nice bonus. Activities can be booked at the hotel.

Clean rooms, it has all the facilities you need, quiet hotel. Breakfast buffet is included. The location is very good, it’s in the middle of nature with direct access to walking/ski paths and is dark at night. Very good value for the price.

I loved everything about this trip. Your staff was wonderful and the front desk ladies were more than helpful! Breakfast was wonderful, as well as getting on the bus daily was so easy. I would suggest this hotel to anyone.
