From the moment you arrive in Ruka-Kuusamo, you are welcomed by your host and immersed in a landscape of snow-laden forests and Arctic stillness.
Over four indulgent nights at the resort, retreat into warmth, design and exceptional hospitality. Days unfold at an unhurried pace, while evenings bring beautifully presented three-course dining inspired by the purity of northern ingredients. This is luxury not as excess, but as space, silence and authenticity.
By day, you step directly into the Arctic way of life. You glide through hushed woodland on a traditional reindeer sleigh, wrapped in blankets as time seems to slow. Experience a husky safari sled across snow covered trails, feeling the quiet power and rhythm of the dogs beneath vast winter skies. Enjoy a snowmobile journey carved through snow-covered forest, pausing for a warming drink surrounded by stillness.
You venture into the dramatic beauty of Oulanka National Park, walking through snow-draped forest to the roaring rapids of Myllykoski, where firelight and hot drinks create a moment of calm beside wild water.
As darkness falls, you follow the aurora wherever it chooses to appear — travelling into the night in search of clear skies and open horizons. You wait beneath a canopy of stars as green ribbons begin to ripple overhead, witnessing one of nature’s greatest spectacles in intimate silence. Should you wish, you spend a day skiing the pristine slopes of Ruka, gliding across perfectly groomed runs before retreating to warmth and fine food. You leave restored and quietly exhilarated, knowing you have not only seen the Arctic — you have lived it, luxuriously and deeply, in a way few ever do.
*Per person cost based on 2 adults staying in an Aurora Spa Room between 7th – 17th December & 9th January – 31st March
