Experience the Magic of Northern Lights from a Glass Igloo in Finnish Lapland
Imagine sleeping under a blanket of stars, cocooned in the warmth of a glass igloo while the Northern Lights dance above you. That's exactly what This video from shewandersabroad showcases as they dive into the enchanting world of Levin Iglut in Finnish Lapland. Situated on a serene hilltop, this hotel offers an unforgettable Arctic experience, combining the beauty of nature with modern comforts.
Kicking off their adventure, they describe the immense appeal of the igloos' locationāabout 10 kilometers outside the town of Leviāwith sweeping, unobstructed views that make it a prime spot for viewing the Northern Lights. For families thinking about making the trip, the accessibility from KittilƤ Airport, just 20 minutes away, is a bonus. Renting a car is suggested for the ultimate flexibility, though taxis or private transfers are also options.
The tour showcases three types of igloos: Superior, Prime Superior, and the lavish Suite Igloos. They find the Prime Superior Igloos to be cozy, featuring a private bathroom, a compact kitchenette, and those iconic floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking views of the forest and sky. A personal highlight for them, and something we imagine our family would love too, is the adjustable bed that isn't just comfortable but also perfect for stargazing.
On their second night, a stay in the luxurious Suite Igloo is nothing short of a dream. Sprawling interiors, marble-decked bathrooms, and a hot tub are enough to catch anyone's eye. Being able to unwind with the Northern Lights above while soaking in the hot tub truly sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime family experience. Not to mention, the complete privacy it offers is ideal for families looking for a peaceful escape.
Dining at Levin Iglut is another highlight they cover fondly. The ground-floor restaurant exudes a cozy, traditional Lappish vibe, while meals can also be enjoyed in a glass-walled dome on the first floor, offering stunning views. Breakfast, part of the room rate, seems like a feast with everything from pastries to superfoods. Lunchtime and dinnertime are also showcased as exceptional culinary experiences, with multiple courses and a menu that changes daily, making each meal feel special.
