Curated byRomanUpdated I’d keep Apukka Resort in mind for a stay in Rovaniemi.
More about this place
Apukka Resort offers an outlying glass-roof resort with a substantial Arctic activity programme. It suits a hotel-and-experiences stay, but city and Santa Village visits require separate transport. Compare a room-only booking with package inclusions before adding tours twice.
Restaurants, bookable sauna experiences and an extensive programme of Arctic excursions make the resort a place to spend time as well as sleep. Glass-roofed accommodation gives a view of the sky, with Northern Lights dependent on weather and solar activity. Check seasonal opening dates, the exact package inclusions and transport into town.
