• Icehotel Sweden

And no, you're not dreaming, this hotel is actually carved out of a block of ice! Located in Swedish Lapland, it offers uniquely designed rooms with ice statues, and melts in the spring when the weather warms up. But don't panic - there are also traditional 'warm' rooms and chalets.

• Santa's Igloos Arctic Circle

The igloos of Rovaniemi are a must in Lapland hotels and are located right in the Arctic Circle. Just a stone's throw from Santa's village, they allow you to watch the aurora from the comfort of your bed.

• Lapland Hotels Luostotunturi & Amethyst Spa

Minimalism, comfort and design are the watchwords of this hotel. The Arctic Treehouse also offers a panoramic restaurant and various experiences.

• Treehotel

Good news for tree house enthusiasts: you'll find some great ones in Harads, Sweden. These unique accommodations are all different: from flying saucer-shaped huts to bird's nests!

• A 190-year-old wooden house

Built in 1830, this house on the outskirts of Kittilä will take you back to the history of Finland. The house is comfortable and has a sauna, making it a perfect starting point for watching the aurora.

This accommodation offers chalets and igloos that are perfect for both winter and long summer days. On the shores of Lake Inari, you can enjoy a variety of activities from snowmobiling to dog sledding.
