Has your dream always been to witness the spirals of the northern lights? What if I told you that you can now view all this mystical glory right from your bed? This is the Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort in Finland.
Here, you will spend your graceful days in a cutting edge glass igloo as you enjoy the various adventures in the beautiful arctic circle. The fact that the igloos are made of quality thermal glass, you will always have the best-revered view possible as you won’t have to deal with frost. Inside your beautiful room, it will always be room temperature no matter how cold it is outside.
To many, this hotel is also known as the Igloo village. However, the places are only open from December to January. If you are planning a trip to this place, you have to make it as early as possible. And that’s not all, the place has so much more to offer.
What’s To Love About Kakslauttanen Ice Igloo Hotel?
This hotel is located about 150 miles from the north of Arctic Circle. The hotel consists of about 53 igloos that can accommodate at least 2 people. In addition, it has 12 igloos that are meant for at least 4. The price range of the small igloos varies depending on the size. You may spend at least $512 for a single night.
Also, there are bigger igloos for yet a bigger party. Here you can sleep at least 6 people. These are known as Kelo-glass Igloos and they are mostly a combination of a classic Igloo and a log cabin. For the Kelo-glass Igloo, you may spend up to $703 for a single night.
In addition to that, you will get a private bathroom and sauna, kitchenette, fireplace and bedroom not forgetting the heavenly glass roof. On the other hand, the cabin features uniquely made walls that are made from Kelo pinewood found in the Laplands.
Activities To Engage In?
This hotel also has the largest smoke sauna that you will ever find in the world. In that, you will get a chance to indulge in a very luxurious sauna enjoying the heat while the temperatures outside tumble to as low as -30 degrees Celsius.
At the same time, you can get the chance to enjoy a wide variety of snowshoeing activities and cross country skiing. For the daring folks, here is a chance for you to experience ice-swimming.
During the summer period, you can also consider travelling to the Inari resort that is located in a very remote island that is in the middle of the lake. This is without forgetting that you will be having a glass roofed cocktail bar that has been build halfway up a tree.
The best part about this resort is the digital detox that comes with your stay.
Although there is a Wi-Fi connection in the reception, the Igloos are without. How about a few weeks to focus on yourself, away from all the pressure that comes with online interactions? We all need that after a rough 2020. What are you waiting for?
