Arctic TreeHouse Suites have a high-quality double bed or two separate beds, and some also have a nest-like extra bed. The centrepiece of the stylishly decorated room is the panoramic window that offers views of the skies over the treetops. The beds are positioned to best enable enjoyment of the views while comfortably lying down. Facilities in the bathroom include underfloor heating and rain shower heads.

Arctic GlassHouses have an atmosphere-rich lounge, two bedrooms with high-standard double beds and an impressively fitted kitchenette. The lounge has a real fireplace, offering a cosy place to warm yourselves up after an active day of Arctic adventures. Cabin amenities also include your own private sauna and spacious decking area offering spectacular views of the northern skies. The sofa in the lounge is also a sofa bed for two people.

ArcticScene Suites are designed for ultimate relaxation and comfort luxury. The suites have a separate bedroom and living room, where the large sofa and nest-like bed can accommodate even larger families. The living area can be turned into a dining area using the movable furniture without compromising the design and air-like feeling throughout the suite. The bedroom has a custom-made king size bed and a separate wellness area for a spa-like atmosphere. The wellness area brings nature closer than ever with its scenery sauna and bath where one can enjoy the surrounding forest through the floor-to-ceiling windows made using the latest privacy-valuing technology.

Rakas Restaurant, the heart and hearth of the snowflake-shaped main building, strikes a balance between elegant new Nordic cuisine and the survivalist foragings of cable-knit-adorned mountain types. Pike perch hoiked from the hotel’s own lake is served with Lappish potatoes and white-roe dressing, reindeer is smoked and salted or drizzled in a game-y sauce, and distinctive desserts include lemon mousse with licorice and spruce-sprinkled bilberries. Join the crowd for brunch on Sunday or have an intimate chef’s dinner for two, starring whitefish ceviche and flambéed beef with reindeer-horn powder.

The lounge doubles up as a toasty bar. A large fireplace is ringed by seats with fur throws slung over them and there are comfy sofas to plump down on, and wines, chilled and mulled, and craft brews bring merriness to proceedings.

f you want to give your visit something really special, we can arrange a romantic dinner or intimate festive moment to order, in surroundings that leave everyday life far behind you.

The Metsäkyly spa is a 20-minute drive from the hotel, amid picturesque pines, but staff will drop you off and pick you up for free. Naturally, there’s a sauna, for all the in-the-buff birch-beating fun you desire (don’t worry, almost-never nudes: the saunas are his ‘n’ hers). When you’re sufficiently steamed, enjoy a hot drink – or a ‘sauna sausage’, if you dare – in the open-air Jacuzzi (there’s an edited wine and champagne list, too), book a Swedish massage or acupuncture session, or take a blood-pumping plunge into the lake.
