Best Aurora Lodges in Finland 2026
Finnish Lapland pioneered glass igloo accommodation and remains the world leader in "sleep under the aurora" experiences. Here's every lodge worth considering.
Glass Igloos
1. Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort, Saariselkä
Price: €400–600/night | Aurora Score: 8/10 The original glass igloo resort. Thermal glass ceiling prevents fogging — watch aurora from your heated bed. Also has log cabins, snow igloos, and the world's largest smoke sauna.2. Levin Iglut, Levi
Price: €350–550/night | Aurora Score: 8/10 Golden Crown glass igloos perched on a hilltop above Levi ski resort. Panoramic views, elevated position for darker skies. The scenic location is arguably better than Kakslauttanen's.3. Arctic Glass Igloos, Sinettä (near Rovaniemi)
Price: €250–400/night | Aurora Score: 7/10 Close to Rovaniemi (30 min) but in a quiet forest setting. More affordable than Kakslauttanen. Good compromise between convenience and wilderness.4. Nova Skyland, Inari
Price: €300–450/night | Aurora Score: 8/10 Glass cabins on the shores of Lake Inari. One of the most remote and darkest options — minimal light pollution. Northern Sámi cultural experiences available.Wilderness Cabins & Treehouses
5. Arctic TreeHouse Hotel, Rovaniemi
Price: €300–500/night | Aurora Score: 7/10 Designer glass-fronted pods suspended among birch trees. Modern Scandinavian design, heated, aurora alarm. The most "Instagram-able" aurora accommodation in Finland.6. Nellim Wilderness Hotel, Inari
Price: €200–350/night | Aurora Score: 8/10 Lake-shore cabins in pristine wilderness near the Russian border. Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and some of the darkest skies in Finnish Lapland.7. Star Arctic Hotel, Saariselkä
Price: €300–500/night | Aurora Score: 8/10 Glass-roofed suites on a hilltop. Each suite has motorised beds that tilt for optimal aurora viewing angle. High-tech meets wilderness.Comparison

Booking Reality
Glass igloos in Finland are the hardest accommodation to book in the Arctic. Book 6–12 months ahead for December–February dates. March has better availability and great aurora. January is the sweet spot if you can find it.Read our glass igloos guide and Rovaniemi accommodation guide.
