Santa’s Igloos Arctic Circle is a premium glass igloo hotel offering year-round accommodation at the Arctic Circle. The stylish, glass-roofed igloos combine the comfort of a hotel room with the magic of the surrounding Lapland nature.
The igloo hotel is located in Santa Claus Village, right on the Arctic Circle. Santa Claus Village is within walking distance, approximately 600 metres away. Rovaniemi Airport is only a short drive away, about 2 to 4 kilometres, while Rovaniemi city centre is located around 8 to 9 kilometres from the property. The location makes Santa’s Igloos Arctic Circle easy to reach while offering a peaceful setting close to key attractions.
Each glass igloo is air-conditioned and equipped with a private bathroom and rain shower. Free WiFi is available throughout the property, and guests can enjoy a daily breakfast served at the on-site Restaurant Arctic Eye. Additional services include a restaurant and bar, reception services and free parking. Some of the igloos also feature a private sauna for extra comfort and relaxation.
One of the highlights of staying at Santa’s Igloos Arctic Circle is the opportunity to experience unique Arctic phenomena directly from your igloo. During the darker months, guests may enjoy northern lights viewing straight through the glass roof, and an Aurora Alarm service notifies guests when the northern lights appear. In summer, the midnight sun can be admired as it shines above the Lapland landscape.
Santa’s Igloos Arctic Circle is committed to sustainable tourism and holds both the Green Key environmental certification and the Sustainable Travel Finland label. More information and bookings can be found at: https://santashotels.fi/en/hotels/igloo-hotel-rovaniemi-santas-igloos/

Glass Resort is a family-owned boutique hotel located in Santa Claus Village on the Arctic Circle in Rovaniemi, Finland. Rooted in a deep connection to Lapland and its nature, the resort is built on the idea of creating a place where guests can slow down, embrace stillness, and experience the Arctic in an intimate and meaningful way.
While set within the well-known Santa Claus Village, Glass Resort offers a sense of privacy and calm. Surrounded by Arctic forest, the atmosphere feels secluded and serene, a peaceful retreat away from the liveliness of the village, yet only a short walk from its experiences and services.
The resort features thoughtfully designed glass apartments that open towards the northern sky. Large panoramic windows and glass ceilings invite the Arctic light in, offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding nature and, on clear nights, the Northern Lights. Each apartment includes a private sauna and a private outdoor hot spring spa, creating a fully personal space to relax and unwind under the open sky.

Blending modern Scandinavian design with natural materials and Lappish heritage, Glass Resort reflects a refined yet grounded sense of luxury. The spacious apartments are designed for couples, families, and travelers seeking a experience that feels both exclusive and authentic.
At Glass Resort, days unfold gently. Guests can step into the magic of Santa Claus Village or return to the quiet embrace of their own space, where silence and soft Arctic light create a setting for rest and reconnection.
The experience is completed at Restaurant Gallis, where carefully crafted dishes highlight seasonal and local Arctic ingredients. In a warm and tranquil setting, dining becomes a natural extension of the stay, unhurried, sensory, and rooted in the flavors of the North.

Apukka Resort is an Arctic wilderness hotel situated on the edge of Lapland’s capital, Rovaniemi. Just a 15-minute drive from both Santa Claus Village and the city center, travelers can enjoy the pristine Lappish nature in the surrounding lakes and forests.
Best known as the premier destination for Northern Lights holidays and for our distinctive glass igloos, our resort also offers a diverse range of nature-based activities. We provide over 70 guided tours across four seasons, from August to early April. The best way to fully experience all we have to offer is with our holiday packages, which are organized by season and theme. Each package allows you to select your preferred accommodation and includes exciting activities, daily buffet breakfast, airport transfers, and more.
But which accommodation is right for you? At Apukka Resort, our glass igloos come in various shapes and sizes, all offering an unobstructed view of the Arctic sky. Aurora Cabin, our pioneering model, includes a private bathroom, setting it apart from some other glass igloos in Lapland. These cabins are popular with solo travelers, couples, and those traveling with a friend, thanks to the option to separate the twin beds. A pull-out sofa also makes it suitable for small families.
Seeking more living space? That’s where Aurora Cabin Queen and Aurora Cabin King come into play. These glass igloos feature a queen-sized bed and a king-sized bed, respectively. For larger families and groups of friends, we recommend Aurora Cabin Family, which accommodates up to six guests. The lake views, thanks to the close proximity of Lake Olkkajärvi, nicely complement the stunning sky views.
For sky watchers seeking something different, we offer two-storey glass igloo suites named Komsio Glass Igloo Suite and Kammi Glass Igloo Suite. In Komsio, the lower level features a bathroom with a shower, while the second level offers a stunning 360° sky view, placing you literally above most Aurora accommodations. Kammi takes it a step further with a more extensive seating area and a fully equipped kitchenette, making it an excellent choice for those traveling with family, as it accommodates up to four guests.
In addition to our glass igloos, we also offer Apukka Lakeview Suites and Villa Apukka for a more familiar, home-like experience. The two-bedroom Lakeview Suites feature glass walls that provide an uninterrupted view of Lake Olkkajärvi. The largest of our accommodation options is Villa Apukka, which can host up to 14 people!
And when hunger strikes, our restaurants Aitta and Kota welcome you with open arms and plates filled with Lappish delicacies. For drinks and snacks, visit the Lobby Bar Riihi, open from early morning to late night.
