The Kakslauttanen Artic Resort in Lapland, Finland was a spectacular place for a vacation! Our Igloo Cabin was beautiful; it included a sauna and fireplace and easily could have slept a family of six. The property included a planetarium, art museum, event center,and a reindeer/horse enclosure. The cabins were beautifully spaced across a beautiful property. The last night of our stay included an incredible northern lights display as there wasn't a cloud in the sky!

I know this place gets some hate because of the prices, and it is very expensive. But I also get that its very far north,and they have a short window of the winter to make money. I did not know that a breakfast buffet and a 3 course dinner were included. I think thats a huge bonus. The food was excellent. I really enjoyed the resort, and I definitely would go back

It is a bit pricey but the experience is great. We observed auroras every night. The foods included are good. They also have à la carte menu but you will need to pay extra. The igloo is a bit of walk from recreation but they send car to deliver our luggages and picked us up on the day we leave. We had a great time, one of a kind!

The Kelo-Igloo was GORGEOUS! The log work was so beautiful. The fireplace was magical and we enjoyed falling asleep to real fire crackling and a sky view. We appreciated having a sauna in our room and it was so kind that when we arrived late for check-in, they had a dinner box prepared. The same happened for an early checkout, they prepped a a nice breakfast box. The grounds were well maintained and we appreciated having drivers available so that we didn't have to walk everywhere since the property is big. There was a lot of snow and the location is very convenient to IVL airport. Overall, a magical stay -- I am still tracking the northern lights from their aurora app to stay in touch. That was a nice touch. My one suggestion is that I wish everything didn't close so early -- e.g. the Planetarium only has two shows. Majority of people are out doing activities during the show or having breakfast. This would allow guests to truly experience what all Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort has to offer.

Amazing property and experience- and would highly recommend! We came during the off season but the staff were so energetic and accommodating! The reindeer weren’t out yet so they had the hearder put them in the penned section so we could take pictures. Dinner at the resort was fantastic each night! We didn’t get to see the northern lights but the overall experience was 11/10!

Kelo-Glass Igloo was fantastic!

Fantastic resort! Only one restaurant was open and the food wasn’t great (it was fine, just not great) but everything else made up for it. We stayed in a lovely Kelo-Glass igloo and absolutely loved it. The activities were fun—best were snowmobile, dog sledding and feeding the reindeer.

Outstanding and memorable stay. Great adventures, northern lights and family fun. Food options were limited, especially for dinner and the service ended at 9pm, which didn’t work when we were out on a husky adventure and missed out. BUT, the husky adventure was AMAZING!

Best Hotel in Finland

We stayed at the Kelo of West Village and it is very clean and cozy where you have your own sauna, bathroom, kitchen and of course the signature igloo. Staff are very helpful and we’ve also met the owner who’s very friendly and welcoming. We’ve stayed 5 nights and 3 nights with eye-visible northern lights. Oh and I have to mention, dinner is surprisingly delicious!!!
