Lapland. The word evokes images of a mystical land, a place where magic blurs the lines of reality. Hidden in the north of Finland there is such a place and while we can’t guarantee sightings of any magical creatures, you will undoubtedly soak up the sheer wonder of this region of outstanding natural beauty.
Finland is off the radar of many travellers and that is exactly what makes it so incredible to visit. This out-of-the-way northern European country doesn’t shout about itself, it is just quietly happy basking in its own unique splendour. Lapland, famed as the home of Santa Claus, is an incredible wilderness, showcasing the raw beauty of nature all wrapped up in a luxurious and welcoming experience.
Staying at the stunning Apukka Lodges in Rovaniemi, you will be able to experience every ounce of beauty while returning every night to your impeccably designed, glass roof Aurora cabin where you can relax and watch the dancing glow of the Aurora from your bed. The sublime Nordic restaurant, Aitta, will serve up locally sourced, delicately created masterpieces for you every night in front of the roaring fire. Every day will be filled with experiences of the ‘white playground’ that surrounds you, from thrilling husky rides to heading into the heart of natural darkness to spend an enchanting evening under the ethereal shimmering glow of the Aurora Borealis.
Add two nights in the chilled beauty of Helsinki with an in-depth tour and a trip to the local reindeer park, and you have an outstanding adventure in one of the world’s hidden corners.
