Nestled along a serene snow-laden trail in a tranquil forest clearing, Apukka Resort, though seemingly secluded, is conveniently only a short drive from Santa Claus Village and Rovaniemi International Airport. The dedicated staff ensure an array of excursions are always all day long, from snowmobile tours and horse-drawn sleigh rides to private sauna sessions and guided snowshoe hikes.
Apukka Resort


The accommodation options include the Aurora Cabins, notable for their Scandinavian design, which boast full heating and en-suite facilities. Nestled away from the main resort, these cabins strategically position guests to embrace the Arctic night, offering optimal views of the mesmerizing Northern Lights.
Introducing the newly unveiled Lappish Kammi Suites—a harmonious blend of authenticity, ecological consciousness, and historical narratives. These rooms seamlessly merge age-old traditions with contemporary Finnish innovation. For those seeking more space, the Lappish Kammi Family Suites provide two bedrooms and a generously sized living area.
The resort’s Ice Log Cottages offer a local interpretation of the classic ice hotel design, incorporating the simplicity and sturdiness of Finnish log cabins. Similar to traditional snow and ice hotels, guests will rest on a block of ice, wrapped in Arctic-performance sleeping bags and the comforting warmth of reindeer hides.
Enter the Aurora Wagons, four mobile carriages complete with heating, double beds, and kitchenettes. Guests have the unique opportunity to spend a night in these wagons at various picturesque locations, from frozen lakes to snowy hilltops—each an ideal setting to witness the dazzling displays of the Northern Lights.
For those preferring a more conventional stay, the resort provides an array of stylish rooms, suites, and apartments. Equipped with flat-screen TVs and complimentary WiFi, these accommodations are ideal for extended stays, ensuring both comfort and modern amenities.
Although dining may not be the primary focus of this resort, Apukka Café on-site fills the culinary gap, providing breakfast, lunch, dinner, and an assortment of snacks. The cuisine is fresh, seasonal and locally sourced from the nearby lakes and forests.

Northern lights tour reviews
We booked with Aurora for a short winter break to celebrate an event. We wanted something special and that’s what we got. Clear information was backed up with straightforward booking detail, and we had a super, holiday with no complications.
The holiday exceeded my expectations and I will use Aurora in the future. Thank you!
My wife and I had an awesome and memorable trip to Iceland thanks to Alex at Aurora Nights. Alex tailored the itinerary to exactly what we wanted to see and chose excellent hotels to stay at. We totally enjoyed the city of Reykjavik and the many beautiful waterfalls. He went above and beyond to not only recommend sights to see around the Golden Circle and Ring Road, but also mapped it out so we were prepared to drive through the country during unpredictable weather and road conditions. And we were especially pleased to see the Northern Lights on our visit. Alex was very flexible to make changes to our plans and choosing the wonderful Sky Lagoon to replace our tickets for the Blue Lagoon due to the closure from the volcanic activity. We highly recommend Alex and Aurora Nights.
An amazing trip and excellent service provided by all involved. Great value for money too. Food was excellent. Accommodation was wonderful and the trips booked were outstanding. An amazing trip
Cannot thank this company enough. Our break to Iceland was the second time we’ve let them organise everything for us and once again they didn’t disappoint. Everything ran seamlessly and the organised tours were wonderful. This company knows what they are doing. If you want to experience the geysers, the volcano, the northern lights and all the other exciting things that Iceland has to offer then this is the company to use.
