Apukka Resort Rovaniemi.

Positioned between two quiet lakes just fifteen minutes outside Rovaniemi, Apukka Resort offers a classic Lapland wilderness experience without the remote travel times. The main draw here is the inventive, glass-roofed lodging designed specifically for stargazing and Northern Lights viewing, ranging from cozy Aurora Cabins to the split-level Kammi suites with 360-degree glass "nests." Because the resort sits on expansive private land, guests have direct access to an on-site adventure program featuring husky safaris, snowmobiling, and horse-drawn sleigh rides. After a day in the snow, the focus shifts to traditional lakeside saunas—complete with ice-dipping holes—and hearty Nordic dining at Restaurant Aitta, a cozy space centered around a massive stone fireplace.
