Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort
lapland, finland · ★★★★
Le verdict
Cela vaut-il le coup pour votre voyage de noces ?
Kakslauttanen is the original glass igloo — the property that put Finnish Lapland on every honeymoon mood board, with roughly 150 thermal-glass igloos scattered through pine forest at Saariselkä, 250 km north of the Arctic Circle. The pitch for couples is unbeatable in concept: lie in a king bed under a transparent dome and watch the aurora unspool across the sky without leaving the duvet. The resort pairs the igloos with traditional log cabins (many with private sauna and fireplace), keeps a working reindeer herd and husky kennel on site, fires up the largest smoke sauna in the world on cold nights, and runs Santa's Celebration House for couples who want to lean into the Lapland fairy tale. It is rustic-luxury rather than minimalist-luxury — wooden ceilings, antler chandeliers, hearty Finnish cooking — but for two people sharing a glass dome with northern lights overhead, that is exactly the right register.

Jour par jour
Itinéraire de 7 nuits pour votre voyage de noces
Arrival via Ivalo
Fly into Ivalo (IVL), 30-minute transfer to Saariselkä, and check into your Kelo-Glass Igloo. Light dinner at the main restaurant, sauna warm-up, and your first aurora watch from bed.
Husky safari
Morning at the on-site husky kennel — meet the dogs, learn to mush, and run a guided trail through frozen forest. Afternoon recovery in the smoke sauna.
Reindeer farm and Santa
Visit the resort's reindeer herd, take a sleigh ride through the snow, and stop at Santa's Celebration House for a private audience. Evening aurora chase by snowmobile.
Snowmobile and ice fishing
Long snowmobile expedition across frozen lakes, drilling holes through the ice for a hand-line fishing session, and a hot lunch cooked over an open fire.
Smoke sauna ritual
A slow day in your cabin, followed by a guided traditional smoke sauna ceremony at dusk, an ice-swimming dip if you're brave, and dinner of slow-cooked reindeer.
Snowshoe and aurora photography
Guided snowshoe through Urho Kekkonen National Park, hot-drink stop in a wilderness hut, and an evening aurora photography workshop with a local guide.
Final igloo morning
Long lie-in under the glass roof, a last forest walk, brunch in the main lodge, and transfer back to Ivalo for your flight home.
Évaluation honnête
Ce qu'il faut savoir avant de réserver
The northern lights are weather-dependent and not guaranteed on any specific night — plan at least 4-5 nights to give yourselves a fair chance of clear skies.
Winter temperatures in Saariselkä average around -15°C and can drop below -25°C; you must bring or rent serious cold-weather gear.
Glass igloos are intimate but small — couples wanting more space and a private sauna should upgrade to a Kelo-Glass Igloo or log cabin.
December has very short days (sun rises around 11am and sets around 1pm) — many activities are run in twilight or full darkness.

FAQ
Questions fréquentes
Is this hotel good for honeymooners?
Yes — the Kelo-Glass Igloos in particular are made for couples, with private sauna, fireplace, and a glass roof over the bed for aurora viewing.
Will we see the northern lights?
Saariselkä sits in the high-aurora zone and clear nights between September and March deliver excellent odds, but no hotel can guarantee aurora — book at least 4-5 nights for a strong chance.
What is the best month for aurora?
Late September to late March, with peak darkness and statistically clear nights in February and March. Avoid late April through August when nights are too bright.
What is the best time to visit?
December through March for a snowy, classic aurora honeymoon; June and July for the midnight sun and a very different but still magical Lapland.
What should we book in advance?
A Kelo-Glass Igloo, your Ivalo flights, and key activities (huskies, reindeer, smoke sauna ceremony) which sell out months ahead.
How do we get there?
Fly to Helsinki (HEL) and connect to Ivalo (IVL), then take the resort's 30-minute transfer to Saariselkä.
