Large resort famous for glass igloos

Introduction

Home to Finland's most famous Glass Igloo's, Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort provides a unique experience in the Saariselkä fell region of Lapland, 250km north of the Arctic Circle. 

Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort is located on the edge of the wilderness allowing guests to enjoy the very best of Lapland's nature and culture during a range of winter activities before returning to the warmth and comfort of your choice of unique accommodation.

Choose the more traditional log cabins with real wood fires and saunas or, for the ultimate luxury, the Kelo-Glass Igloo’s combine the comfort of a cosy log cabin with the bonus of a unique glass roofed bedroom.  Home to the world-famous Glass Igloo Village, you can also choose to spend the night under the stars while the northern lights dance above. 

The resort is split into two separate villages, East & West. East Village is where is all started back in the 1970's with the iconic Glass Igloos making an appearance in 1999 - the first of their kind to appear in Lapland. Today, the East Village offers a quieter, more authentic Lappish experience, with it's collection of cosy cabins and small glass igloos that sit alongside its main reception and traditional kelo restaurant building. 

A short distance away you will find the more modern and bustling West Village, which has grown over the years and is now significantly larger than its neighbouring East Village. With a large reception; Aurora Restaurant serving a menu of Lappish cuisine and Asian delicacies; and a glass igloo bar, the accommodation choices here include a vast field of glass igloos, log cabins and the luxurious Kelo Glass Cabins. There is an art gallery on site, Santa Claus Village and a farm which provides husky and reindeer safaris. It's latest additions are the Planetarium, Restaurant and Glass Igloo observation tower.

Shuttle buses are available to transport guests between the villages on request.
