Villa Äng

Villa Äng is an exclusive private retreat in Swedish Lapland, located near the village of Harads above the Arctic Circle. Created by the family behind the iconic Treehotel, the villa offers a more intimate and deeply personal Arctic experience, designed entirely around privacy, comfort and connection to nature.

Set beside open meadows and the Lule River, the 400 square metre villa accommodates one group at a time, creating a stay that feels secluded, calm and completely tailored. Floor to ceiling windows frame the changing Arctic landscape, while interiors combine Scandinavian design, natural materials and warm textures that reflect the quiet beauty of Swedish Lapland.

At the heart of Villa Äng is a philosophy of togetherness and slow living. Spacious lounge areas, a fireplace, private chef experiences, sauna and outdoor hot tub encourage guests to slow down and immerse themselves in the rhythm of the landscape. Whether beneath the northern lights in winter or the glow of the midnight sun in summer, every detail is designed to feel personal and restorative.

Why stay at Villa Äng?

Villa Äng offers a rare combination of complete privacy, curated service and authentic Arctic immersion. Unlike a traditional hotel stay, every experience here is crafted entirely around the guests, from personalised dining to bespoke outdoor adventures.

The villa is rooted in Swedish Lapland’s landscapes, folklore and traditions. The name “Äng”, meaning meadow, reflects the open flower rich land surrounding the property and the connection between nature, heritage and wellbeing that shapes the experience.

For Aurora Nights guests, Villa Äng offers a setting where silence, darkness and open skies create ideal conditions for experiencing the northern lights in comfort and exclusivity.

Swedish Lapland, Your Way

Here, luxury is defined by silence, space and personal connection. Wake to mist rising above the meadow, spend your day exploring Arctic landscapes and return to warmth, thoughtful cuisine and panoramic views across the river and forest. At Villa Äng, every stay is shaped entirely around you, creating an experience that feels intimate, restorative and deeply memorable.
