Arctic Retreat

A hidden gem in Swedish Lapland, Arctic Retreat is tucked away in the forest and nestled at the foot of Raven Rapid in the Råne River Valley.

Sitting along the river’s shoreline, the three log cabins - Sun, Wind, and Water - blend traditional craftsmanship with modern architectural design. Each features a striking north-facing glass façade that opens up to the natural beauty beyond. Inside, all cabins offer the same modern comforts, including an ensuite bathroom, coffee machine, and wood-burning stove with an ample supply of firewood. Step outside onto your private wooden deck to enjoy a jacuzzi overlooking the river and just a few steps away in a separate log building a wood-fired sauna awaits.

Sun is the smallest cabin, comfortably sleeping two in its double-bedded loft bedroom. Wind is slightly larger, ideal for families with a downstairs nook featuring two bunk beds in addition to its double loft bedroom. Water is a single-floor cabin, perfect for two with a separate double bedroom. All three cabins offer enough room for an extra bed if required.  

Cuisine is a key feature of your Arctic Retreat experience and locally inspired cooking is the foundation of the menu.  Locally sourced ingredients including fish, game, berries and mushrooms are prepared with recipes from both the Swedish and Sami cultures to create simple, healthy, yet tasty dishes.  Breakfast and dinner are served in one of the two cosy timber restaurants, whilst a wilderness style lunch is often served alfresco around the fire pit or included in your daily activities. You may also choose to dine in the privacy of your own cabin.  

Whether you choose to stay in summer, autumn or winter, spend your days relaxing in the peace and solitude of this unique location or explore further afield on privately guided excursions that allow you to discover the very best of Swedish Lapland, from its traditional Sami culture and culinary traditions to more nature based and active experiences.  

As each day at Arctic Retreat draws to a close spend your evenings surrounded by silence relaxing by the fire pit, spend time in the sauna, treat yourself to a classic Swedish massage or relax in the warm waters of your own private jacuzzi while you watch the northern lights dance overhead.
