10/10 Exceptional

​We stayed for one night at Apukka Resort, and it was an absolutely unforgettable Arctic experience from start to finish! ​The Accommodation We stayed in an Queen Igloo Glass Cabin. Sleeping under the glass roof surrounded by the snowy landscape felt surreal. The cabin was super cozy, warm, and surprisingly spacious, with a very comfortable bed and a great mudroom area to drop off all our heavy winter gear. We were even lucky enough to catch the Northern Lights dancing right above our bed! ​Activities & Experiences During our short stay, we squeezed in Autumn Husky Ride on Wheels .The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable and warm the entire time. ​Dining & Service The staff at reception and the restaurant were incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful. The breakfast buffet at Restaurant Aitta had a great variety of fresh options to fuel up before checking out. ​Final Thoughts Even with just 1 night, Apukka delivered the ultimate Lapland bucket-list experience. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Rovaniemi—we only wish we could have stayed longer!

Stayed in the igloo glass cabins, very atmospheric, beautiful surroundings. The fire log cabins around the property and hiking trails are excellent. Sled provided was a lot of fun. Overall staff very friendly, reception and breakfast excellent. However, most amenities ( sauna) are not included, which is disappointing considering how expensive the Aurora cabins are. Lapland activities booked through the resort are almost 2-3 times the price compared to independent providers. Unless you are looking for convenince you will be better off booking external providers.

Apukka resort had very nice Glass Igloos with beautiful surroundings. Resort had several activities offered - Husky rides, Rein deer sled rides etc. We however preferred to enjoy the already available activities like Rein deer farm viewing, Frozen lake walk, Fire camping , snow tubing , snow Sledding there . Breakfast was exquisite with several choices ranging from jucies , desserts, main course food like oatmeal, pancakes, varieties of breads, cheese . We stayed here for the glass igloos experience and hopes to see northern lights. For our bad luck it was a very cloudy day that night , else the resort is far away from Rovaneimi lights and a perfect place for northern lights viewing .

Exceptional stay in Lapland

We absolutely adored our stay at Apukka. We were initially put off by the distance away from Rovaniemi, but the property has so many activities and is near a beautiful lake. Our igloo was gorgeous. The food at the on-site restaurants was amazing. The staff here are the highlight - they are so helpful and kind! Just make the booking!

We had a wonderful time surrounded by breathtaking nature. The scenery is simply stunning – perfect landscapes just waiting to be explored. The experiences we had were truly unforgettable, with the absolute highlight being the incredible Northern Lights, which we were lucky enough to witness in all their beauty – a once-in-a-lifetime moment! The staff was exceptionally friendly, always helpful, and made us feel completely welcome. Overall, a fantastic experience that we would highly recommend!

The resort was very pretty and clean, and the cabins were incredible. The included breakfast was international and included lots of different options. Make sure you have a car though. Otherwise, you'll have to take a taxi everywhere. You can not walk to attractions.

Cool Cabins

Cabins had a nice layout with good features. We were able to see Northern lights from our bed. Two nights they were a bit to our side, so 180 view limited our view a bit. Walked to lakeside and sat around the covered fire. Dinner was excellent as was breakfast buffet. Shuttle was relatively convenient except for late afternoon and early morning to train station which required 50 euro taxi. Also, pathways to room would have been safer with path lighting (fell one night).

We had an amazing stay in Apukka. The aurora cabin was beautiful and cosy, and we were so lucky to see the northern lights so vividly from bed! The staff were friendly and there is a great range of activities on site. The grounds are stunning to walk around, and it is very peaceful. The breakfast is fabulous with a wide variety of foods - a huge bonus was a lot was lactose free. The shuttle bus to and from the resort (stopping at Rovaniemi city and Santa Claus Village) was very useful. All in all a great stay worth every penny.

Amazing , I don't want to leave

Amazng.....Accommodation Queen Igloos so comfy and cosy. Food delish, staff so friendly. Northern Lights snowmobile ride was such fun but cold, wear as many layers as you can, guides were great. Saw the northern lights from bed. Had only booked one nights as reviews were saying best to for staying in the Igloo but I'd stay longer, Igloos are spacious and u can control the heating.
