Looking for a summer or autumn escape where nature, tranquillity, and authentic experiences come together? Journey to Northern Lapland—one of Finland’s most untouched and awe-inspiring regions, far above the Arctic Circle.
Here, in the heart of pristine wilderness—by the shimmering waters of Lake Inari, the flowing Juutua River, and the rolling fells of Urho Kekkonen National Park—you’ll find Wilderness Hotels, a family-owned collection of peaceful retreats. These charming resorts offer more than just a place to stay; they’re a doorway to a slower, richer way of travelling.
Reconnect with nature. Discover the ancient traditions of the Sámi people. Spend your days hiking through golden autumn forests, paddling under the Midnight Sun, or watching the first hints of the Northern Lights dance across the sky. Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, or with loved ones, each moment is an invitation to breathe deeply and feel truly present.
