What you'll do

Overview

The ultimate escapist getaway for two, this adventurous, romantic destination is breathtaking in its isolation and beautiful surroundings. Blissful relaxation, adrenaline-pumping outdoor adventures and the world's greatest natural wonder make this an unforgettable trip.

Finally, five days that are focused entirely around you. You’ll both receive private use of the sauna and spa, enjoy a relaxing massage, and cut out any hassle with fully-included, private transfers. Dine on traditional Finnish cuisine, using ingredients fresh from the stunning countryside, by a roaring open fire in the perfectly silent, snow-dusted forest.

The daytime Lapland adventures include breath-taking arctic nature experiences; an exhilarating snowmobile safari and a reindeer sledge ride with a small group. The package also contains two special private activities specially designed for couples. On a private Snowshoe Aurora hunt, a guide leads you into the deep, snowy wilderness in search of the magical northern lights.

The second private activity is a dinner that goes beyond your average date night. We’ll take you on a journey up the beautiful, wide-open fells in a heated sleigh, then, a 3-course dinner – complete with sparkling wine – will be set for you by an open fire as you wait for the northern lights to appear.

The schedule is planned so that you will have plenty of time for yourselves. You could go to visit the Ski resort nearby, book other activities, enjoy Pyhä nightlife or explore Lapland’s surrounding nature on your own. Or, simply relax in your cabin or suite – the time on your northern lights holiday in Finland is yours to enjoy and you can do whatever you and your partner wish.

*Based on two people travelling in April.

A full example itinerary is detailed below, activity timings can differ slightly,  your own personal schedule will be given to you upon check in.

Welcome to Aurora Country

Your Northern Lights adventure begins when we pick you up directly from Rovaniemi Airport and transfer you into the Lappish wilderness, through pristine snow encrusted pine forest and snowy fells until we reach the resort in Pyha (pronounced Pu-ha).

Here, you’ll be shown to your private cabin or suite. The stylish, elegant accommodation will be your base for the experiences, and offers beautifully cosy warmth against the Arctic weather outside. On arrival you will be fitted with your cosy outerwear (snow suit and boots ) ready for your adventure!

Relax and settle in, take a walk around with the crisp snow underfoot, take a toboggan and have some fun in the snow before your first dinner in Lapland.

Activity timings may differ slightly, your confirmed schedule will be given to you upon check in.

Explore Lapland's Beauty - Then Unwind

The morning excursion for day two of your romantic trip to the far north will take you deep into the snowy fells and forests, as you saddle up for a 4-hour snowmobile ride.

Explore the true back-of-beyond, on an exhilarating journey through stunning natural beauty, and return feeling satisfied and wearied after a morning of activity.

The perfect remedy for any tired, cold bones? An aroma or hot stone massage to soothe any aches or pains, and melt into true relaxation in this tranquil, isolated part of the world.

This evening you will be guided on a private aurora expedition on Snowshoes through snowy landscapes to witness the northern lights, combining leisurely snowshoeing with an unforgettable aurora viewing experience.

Get Out into Nature

Spend day three mostly at your leisure, simply enjoying the comfort the site has to offer, the otherworldly landscape, the skis and snowshoes at your disposal, before you spend two hours on the reindeer express.

Meet the animals that are so central to the landscape, and so vital to the survival of the indigenous population, then hiss through the pine forest in a sleigh pulled by the gentle beasts.

Then, that evening, it’s a different kind of journey, as the two of you are taken deep into the wilderness, pulled by a snowmobile, to hunker down in a heated sleigh and take in the incredible spectacle of the Northern Lights, surrounded by nature, completed by a 3 course meal set amongst the snowy hills with the aurora overhead.

Activity timings may differ slightly, your confirmed schedule will be given to you upon check in.

Your Day To Explore

On your fourth day you are totally free to explore the site and surrounding wilderness, relax at the nearby spa, or simply lie in gazing at the snow-covered pine trees around you.

You could take a look at our husky rides, getting up close and personal to these beautiful dogs and heading out into the untouched landscape via sled, or grab your snowshoes for another adventure into the forest.

Your Magical Trip Complete

Feeling rejuvenated and refreshed by the pure air, the time spent in nature and the extreme comfort you’ve enjoyed, head for a final breakfast.

Your stay sadly comes to an end at this point, and we’ll transfer you straight back to Rovaniemi airport.

Check out before 12 noon after a hearty breakfast.
