Seek romance and the northern lights on the Arctic Circle

This holiday can be re-designed and tailor-made for your own unique experience

Introduction

If you are seeking winter romance with a little bit of adventure thrown in, then head to the Arctic Circle and spend a few days at Vaattunki Wilderness Resort. Not far from Lapland’s capital but removed far enough for peace and tranquillity, this is the perfect place to relax, unwind and recouple.

Location is everything in Lapland, and we have found a gem for those short on time but big on expectation. Surrounded by lush forest and nestled beside beautiful rapids, yet just 15-minutes from Rovaniemi Airport, Vaattunki Wilderness Resort is the perfect place to enjoy pure nature and indulge in a little romance. 

Day 1
You will arrive at Vaattunki Wilderness Resort with plenty of time to explore your new surroundings before dinner this evening. You may choose to stay in the brand new Arctic Deluxe Rooms or the stunning Panorama Huts.  Both afford an intimate space with modern Lappish Interiors and large picture windows to connect you to Lapland’s nature.  

Day 2
Awake to your first full day in Lapland and after breakfast the fun begins with an exhilarating husky safari through the Arctic Circle wilderness. After lunch, enjoy a lazy afternoon and then retreat to the Riverside Sauna for some private pre-dinner relaxation. 

Day 3
Linger a little longer in bed this morning and spend a lazy morning in resort.  You may prefer to explore the snowy surrounds and both forest skis and snowshoes can be borrowed to enjoy the local trails. After lunch, a trio of Lappish delights awaits, kicking off with a thrilling snowmobile ride that will take you through the forests to a local reindeer farm. Feed these curious creatures and cosy-up together for a short sleigh ride around the corral before your return snowmobile adventure back to base.  After dinner at the resort restaurant, another Lappish favourite beckons as you set off in search of the northern lights by snowshoe. Traverse the forest trails to the best vantage point for aurora watching and hopefully you may be lucky enough to see the northern lights dance in the skies above.  

Day 4
Its time to depart Lapland today however, you may choose to spend time in the beautiful city of Helsinki on the way back home.
