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.

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.

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.

The cabin was perfectly equipped with everything we needed. It really is a perfect place to stay in a dreamy location. We had no issues during our stay and would love to come back one day.
