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).

Perfect location to see the Northern Lights! We got lucky to have seen the show 2 nights in a row! And it was freezing so we didn’t have to leave our cabin to enjoy them

Presented really well and was clean staff were friendly however EVERYTHING costs a fortune and is NOT included. $600AUD FOR 2 people to do any activity that goes for approx 2 hours. Breakfast is not served until 8am so if leaving early your told bad luck. Village is far away from reception and breakfast was mediocre

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.

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!

Form the moment you arrive you are made to feel most welcome by the staff every member of staff was so nice and welcoming. The place its self is simply stunning a once in a lifetime experience. We stayed in a room with a glass roof so you lay in bed and see the Northern Lights. The room was spotless the food was divine, heaven on earth.

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.

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!

8/10 Very good

A fantastic resort located right on the shores of a large lake, offering plenty of activities—including both traditional and portable saunas—and a well-equipped adventure center. The cabins are beautiful, modern, and extremely comfortable, featuring large windows perfect for viewing the aurora borealis. The resort also provides a convenient (paid) shuttle service to Santa’s Village. The staff are exceptionally helpful and welcoming. The only downside is the hot water system: you get about 20 minutes of hot water at a time, and it can take up to two hours for the tank to fully refill.

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 stay!!

Amazing stay at Apukka!! Highly recommend booking a cabin, the glass windows are incredible for star & Aurora gazing. The buffet food and dinners were delicious— only thing we wished we knew ahead of time was that only one of the restaurants is open for dinner during autumn season, meaning very limited meal options. That said, food was still amazing! I really liked the activities they offer, we did fat e-bike rentals, sauna, and took the shuttle to go hiking. All super great experiences! Oh and can’t forget the staff, they were all so warm and kind.
