Northern lights dance above the Sodankylä Old Church during winter, while summer brings the Midnight Sun Film Festival. Rent snowshoes to explore nearby Luosto fell trails, or join local guides for reindeer farm visits in Pyhä.
Stayed for one night and was seriously impressed. The villa was spotless, stylish, and really comfortable. The breakfast basket in the morning was a great touch — fresh, local, and way better than expected. The whole place has a calm, relaxing atmosphere with beautiful views by the river. Even though it was a short stay, it felt special.

Check-in was easy, but if you do the holiday club apartments, it is a bit of a walk to the apartments (5-10 minutes) depending on how much luggage you are lugging in the snow.

I don't often return to places as I want to see the world but I will definitely be coming back here. The nature, peace and serenity the log cabins provided are top notch. You can get all you need from the market walkable across the street. The only thing is watch how heavy your luggage is if you are not driving. The walk to cabins is long in snow. Doors here are also a bit tricky but the scenery, vibe, food and staff more than make up for it

Best hotel experience ever! The staff (most of them are expats) treated me like a king. They were nice enough to pick me up with their shuttle bus and gave me extra food for missing some meals. Hospitality is so great! I can't thank them enough. They went above and beyond for me.
Staying inside the glass igloo as a hotel room is a dream come true. Time does go by very fast, so sleep less and just gaze at the roof as you are laying down. I'm literally the happiest person on Earth.
Thanks...
