Where You'll Stay
Apukka Resort
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.
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.

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.
I found Aurora nights just through a google search. Alex, my Aurora expert was so helpful in helping us have the perfect trip to the Arctic. He had personal experience of the activities and places to visit there that would make our trip really special. This followed through to a particularly unforgettable and wonderful holiday. Everything was sent to us with care and attention before hand and we were supported by the team throughout our holiday. All of the recomendations were wonderful especially the Ice Hotel, dog sledding and of course the beautiful Northern Lights. The transportation arrived on time every time. I would highly recomend this company for their experience in the field and their due care and attention to you as a customer. It was faultless and we had the most awesome time.
Brilliant short break. Hotel Ranga was lovely, excellent food. Managed to see the Northern Lights as well! Iceland on the whole was quite expensive but a lovely place to visit, the people were very friendly.
Superb holiday to Iceland, well organised, advice regarding trips informative and far exceeded our expectations (Glaciers and ice Cave) run by South Coast. Hotel Ranga is a lovely hotel, perfect to see Northern Lights (which we did see on our 3rd night), very comfortable, food excellent, staff helpful and informative. SouthCoast Adventure tour company were excellent, guides knowledgeable, and clearly very experienced.
Overall very good. Staff excellent and helpful. Accomodation basic but was what we expected. Tour guides very good (nature walks, snow mobiles, dog sleighs). Sky station disappointing as we never got to go up due to the weather and this seem to be a recurring feature.The alternative walk at night and meal was a let down as a result.Overall would recommend to others.
We had a fantastic 4 nights that included glaciers, waterfalls, geysers, the aurora borealis and more! Lovely hotels, especially Hotel Ranga. We filled every moment and felt thoroughly invigorated on our return.
We had five fantastic days in beautiful Iceland, as we had never been before Aurora Nights helped with everything and made the holiday so easy and stress free. We stayed at Hotel Ranga which was amazing, we very much enjoyed the tours and the guides were brilliant, very knowledgable and friendly. We will certainly be returning to Iceland and wouldn’t hesitate to book through Aurora Nights again, special thanks to Abigail as her experience and reccommendations made the trip even better.
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
