Octola Private Villa is one of the most exclusive luxury retreats in Finnish Lapland, offering a truly private escape in the heart of the Arctic wilderness. Set within vast stretches of untouched forest close to the Arctic Circle, this exceptional villa combines contemporary design with authentic Nordic character, making it an ideal choice for travellers seeking seclusion, nature and personalised luxury.
Octola Private Wilderness Villa


Located within easy reach of Rovaniemi airport, Octola offers the rare balance of accessibility and complete privacy.
Surrounded by snow covered woodland in winter and pristine natural landscapes throughout the year, the villa provides an immersive wilderness experience while maintaining the highest standards of comfort and service. The sense of remoteness is immediate, allowing guests to disconnect fully from daily life and reconnect with nature.
The villa itself is spacious and elegantly designed, with interiors that reflect Scandinavian simplicity and warmth. Large panoramic windows frame uninterrupted views of the surrounding forest, allowing guests to feel connected to the landscape at all times. In winter, these windows provide a perfect vantage point for observing the Northern Lights from the comfort of the villa. Open plan living areas, a cosy fireplace and carefully selected furnishings create an inviting atmosphere that feels both refined and relaxed.
Accommodation is designed with comfort and privacy in mind. Each bedroom features its own en suite bathroom and luxurious bedding, ensuring a restful retreat after days spent exploring the Arctic environment. A private sauna forms a central part of the experience, offering a deeply Finnish way to unwind, while an outdoor jacuzzi allows guests to soak in the stillness of the wilderness beneath the open sky.
Personalised service elevates a stay at Octola to an exceptional level. A private chef can be arranged to prepare gourmet meals using high quality local ingredients, tailored to individual preferences. Expert guides curate bespoke itineraries that showcase the best of Lapland across the seasons. Winter experiences may include husky sledging, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and guided excursions in search of the Northern Lights, while warmer months invite hiking, foraging and peaceful moments under the midnight sun.
Octola Private Villa offers a rare combination of absolute privacy, pristine wilderness and refined comfort. Whether chosen for a romantic escape, a family adventure or a once in a lifetime Arctic journey, this secluded retreat delivers an unforgettable experience rooted in quiet luxury and the natural beauty of northern Finland.

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.
