What Makes It Special
Authentic Finnish craftsmanship meets contemporary Nordic design at Arctic Panorama Resort & Spa, where the northern slopes of Ounasvaara create a dramatic setting above Rovaniemi. Floor-to-ceiling, north-facing panoramic windows bring the Arctic wilderness and Northern Lights directly into the accommodations, turning the landscape into an integral part of the stay.
Details
Set on the peaceful slopes of Ounasvaara, the resort combines the tranquility of the forest with easy access to Rovaniemi. The city center is about 12 minutes away, while Rovaniemi Airport and Santa Claus Village are each approximately 15 minutes by car. From its elevated position, the resort looks across the Kemijoki River and surrounding Arctic wilderness, providing expansive views and a sense of seclusion.
The accommodations are built using Finnish materials, with Lapland timber, handcrafted details and contemporary Nordic interiors creating a warm, distinctly local character. Panoramic windows are oriented to maximize views of the surrounding landscape and Northern Lights, while the private setting of each accommodation keeps the focus firmly on nature.
Arctic Panorama Spa brings traditional Finnish wellness into the landscape, with a sauna, cold plunge and outdoor hot tub beneath the Arctic sky. The spa also offers massages and wellness treatments.
Dining centers on Restaurant Polára, where contemporary Nordic cuisine draws on carefully selected
local and seasonal ingredients and is served alongside great views. Connected to the restaurant, Lumo Kota offers a more intimate Lappish setting around an open fire inside a traditional timber hut.
The resort’s defining experience is waking to the Arctic landscape, and watching the Northern Lights from the comfort of your own accommodation, while you enjoy the warmth of Finnish hospitality.
