🗓️ January date = great for Northern Lights spotting ✅ Half board ❤️ Upgrades to Rooms with sauna & igloo cabin available
From £1,174 pp
Don't forget to book your flightPirates, say hello to Wilderness Hotel Muotka & Igloos – a stunning 4-star hotel tucked away in the Kakslauttanen area, near Saariselkä, Finland. This place is perfect for snow, winter adventures, and of course, Northern Lights spotting. There’s even an alarm in your room that goes off when the Aurora is out – no need to stay up all night waiting!
In January, you get around four hours of daylight for winter activities, with soft twilight stretching beyond sunrise and sunset, and plenty of long, dark hours to hunt for the Northern Lights. ❄️✨
Getting there from the UK takes a bit of planning, but we’ve spotted affordable connecting return flights from just £159. Add in a half-board stay, and you’re looking at from £1,174 for a week in January – excellent for peak season.
Feeling fancy? You can upgrade to a room with its own sauna or even a magical igloo cabin.
🚨 And the alarm? You can rent an Aurora alarm for a little fee. Pick one up during the day, then hand it back in the morning to recharge. Just note, the alarms only trigger before 1am while the staff are still on duty, but it’s a handy way to make sure you don’t miss the show.
What to do for a week? Brave souls can try the riverside sauna with ice swimming. Then there’s snowmobiling, reindeer safaris, ice fishing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and of course, aurora hunting. Trust us, you won’t be bored for a second.
