Hotel Kakslauttanen

Looking for somewhere cool to take a vacation you’ll never forget? The Hotel Kakslauttanen, located in Finland, could be just the spot you’re looking for.



This hotel is a unique one, to say the least. It primarily offers log cabins, but also has traditional snow igloos, or futuristic  glass igloos where you can view the phenomenal Aurora Borealis.

In addition to lodging, they have the world’s largest smoke sauna, two Lapishtent restaurants (that serve a more native cuisine), and a snow restaurant. The “Igloo Village” is home to a snow chapel and an ice bar, which they build every winter.

Some winter activities you can enjoy during your stay include safaris by way of huskies, snowmobiles, or reindeer. You also go ice fishing, or rent traditional skis at your leisure. In the summer they offer boat and fishing trips, as well as sightseeing, and bicycle rides in the Tankavaara National Park.

Their newest addition is “Santa’s Resort”, where you can find Mr. Claus year round.

From August-April, when the Aurora Borealis is the most visible, prices range from $999.99, for seven nights in a small cabin, to $1962.62 for a large cottage.  The glass igloo costs $2871.24 for a week long stay.
