Magical Nordic Adventure

Nestled in the snowy wilderness just outside Rovaniemi, Apukka Resort has introduced its latest accommodation highlight: the Komsio Glass Igloo Suites. These two-storey luxury glass igloos combine Arctic tradition with modern comfort, offering the ideal setting for a romantic escape or a family adventure beneath the star-studded skies of Finnish Lapland.

Each Komsio Glass Igloo Suite covers 31.5 square metres, thoughtfully arranged across two levels. The ground floor features a welcoming lounge complete with an electric fireplace, sofa bed and private bathroom. Upstairs, the loft bedroom lies directly beneath a panoramic glass roof, providing uninterrupted views of the Northern Lights and Arctic night sky. With room for up to four guests, the suite is perfect for couples seeking intimacy or small families eager to experience the enchantment of Lapland.

The word “Komsio” originates from the Sámi cradle, representing warmth, safety and protection. This inspiration is reflected in the design, which feels like a snug cocoon nestled in the snowy forests. Guests can drift off to sleep under a blanket of stars or awaken to the gentle glow of dawn over frozen landscapes.

Location is another advantage of Apukka Resort. Only a short drive from Rovaniemi city centre and the airport, the resort offers easy access while retaining its secluded, wilderness setting. Its close proximity to Santa Claus Village adds to the festive magic, making it a top choice for winter holidays and once-in-a-lifetime Arctic experiences.

Apukka is not just about accommodation; it is about immersion. Guests can enjoy exhilarating husky safaris, tranquil reindeer sleigh rides, and adrenaline-filled snowmobile tours. For those hoping to witness the Aurora, the resort arranges Northern Lights excursions by snow train, snowshoe trek or across frozen lakes, ensuring there are countless ways to connect with Lapland’s natural wonders.

Wellbeing is also central to the experience. Apukka offers a wide range of Finnish sauna traditions, from lakeside saunas and ice saunas to floating saunas. After a warming steam, the brave can take a refreshing dip in icy waters beneath the Arctic sky, a ritual that embodies Nordic wellness culture.

Dining at the resort is equally memorable. Restaurant Aitta serves inventive Nordic cuisine prepared with fresh, local ingredients, while Restaurant Kota offers intimate fire-lit meals inside a traditional wooden teepee. Both options highlight the best of Lapland’s culinary heritage, creating meals that linger in the memory long after the stay.

Apukka Resort is consistently praised for its unique atmosphere, welcoming service and extraordinary setting. The Komsio Glass Igloo Suites in particular are celebrated as some of the most romantic and luxurious glass igloos in Finland, combining elegant design, warmth and unparalleled views of the Arctic skies.

For those seeking a luxury Northern Lights escape in Lapland, the Komsio Glass Igloo Suite at Apukka Resort delivers an unforgettable blend of panoramic views, authentic Arctic adventures and indulgent comfort—all set within a truly magical Finnish winter wonderland.
