Aurora Nest

Aurora Nest offers one of Rovaniemi’s most memorable accommodation experiences: a fully mobile igloo boat that brings a luxury “glamping” experience to the middle of the Lake Palojärvi wilderness. This feat of engineering is designed for year-round use, featuring floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows that eliminate the boundary between you and the Arctic nature. The location has been carefully selected in an area with low light pollution (Bortle Class 3), guaranteeing excellent conditions for stargazing and observing the Northern Lights.

During the winter months, Aurora Nest rests securely on the thick ice of Lake Palojärvi. It serves as the perfect base for Aurora hunting: you can lie in a warm bed and watch the dance of colors in the sky directly above you without freezing outside. The accommodation is top-class, including a private bathroom and a private sauna, from which you can take a dip straight into the Arctic environment. Although you are in the midst of peaceful nature, the high-quality Wildwoods restaurant, serving Lappish delicacies, is just a stone’s throw away.

In summer and autumn, the experience transforms completely as the ice melts and the igloo floats freely on the water. You can fall asleep to the gentle motion of the waves and admire the Midnight Sun that never sets below the horizon. The floating accommodation offers unique privacy and a connection to nature that is hard to find elsewhere. Aurora Nest is more than just a place to sleep – it is a comprehensive experience where Rovaniemi’s nature, modern comfort, and a touch of adventure meet.
