Unique accommodation highlighting the Northern Lights

Sleep Beneath the Aurora Borealis

Glass igloos and cabins are designed to make the most of the Arctic night sky. From smaller igloos for a night or two to spacious glass cabins for longer stays, they offer a comfortable way to watch for the Northern Lights without leaving your accommodation.

For couples and families alike, these stays are easy to include in a luxury itinerary through the Nordics, north of the Arctic Circle.

Glass Igloos

Designed for the view: Large glass roofs and windows give guests a clear view of the Arctic night sky.
Warm and comfortable: Depending on the property, igloos come with comfortable beds, private bathrooms and other amenities.
Northern Lights from bed: When conditions are right, guests can watch the aurora without leaving their room.
For couples and families: Smaller igloos work particularly well for couples, while larger options can accommodate families.
Perfect for one or two nights: We often include a glass igloo stay as part of a longer journey through Lapland or Northern Norway, combined with luxury chalets, lodges or hotels.

Glass Cabins

More space for longer stays: Larger glass cabins and lodges offer more space and amenities, making them well suited for several nights in the same destination.
Different styles: Options range from contemporary cabins with floor-to-ceiling windows to properties inspired by traditional structures and local design.
Views from inside: Large windows keep the surrounding landscape and Arctic sky visible throughout the stay.
Luxury and nature: Many combine the comfort and service of a luxury stay with immediate access to the Arctic outdoors.
Northern Lights close by: When the aurora appears, guests can experience it directly from or just outside their accommodation.

FAQ: The Northern Lights

What are the Northern Lights? Also known as the Aurora Borealis, they occur when charged particles from the Sun interact with gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, creating colours such as green, pink and purple.
Where can you see them? The highest probability is within the Aurora Zone, which covers destinations including Northern Norway, Finnish and Swedish Lapland, Iceland and Greenland.
When is the season? Dark nights make the aurora visible from around late August until mid-April, with autumn offering the opportunity to experience it before the winter snow arrives in many destinations.
Never guaranteed: The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and can never be guaranteed. Solar activity, cloud cover and weather conditions all affect visibility. We always do our best to give guests the best possible chances, keeping a close eye on forecasts and arranging private Northern Lights chases when conditions call for it.
