Stay North - Joiku 2
Welcome to Joiku Resort, where newly built villas blend clean design with the natural beauty of Lapland. Completed in October 2024, these villas feature high ceilings, glass walls, and cosy interiors with top-quality appliances. Set beside the Ylläs swing and Äkäslompolo lake - a favourite Northern Lights spot, and with ski tracks right outside, it’s an ideal winter retreat. With the village’s supermarket and services just a short walk away, Joiku offers an exceptional, relaxed holiday setting.
This villa, crafted with attention to detail and style, features materials selected by an interior designer to create a harmonious blend of dark wood and limestone-inspired granite ceramics. The floor plan has been designed with a focus on gathering, relaxing, and experiencing the beauty of Lapland in a luxurious, functional setting.
Living & Kitchen Area
On the ground floor, the open kitchen and spacious living area open up to high architectural ceilings and are framed by large windows that flood the space with natural light. The kitchen includes generous storage, integrated appliances, a premium induction hob, and a hidden breakfast cupboard. Step out onto the wide terrace, which spans the full width of the villa and is ideal for enjoying meals or relaxing after a sauna session.
The bath and sauna facilities are also on the ground floor, allowing easy access to the terrace for cooling off or to the lake for a refreshing dip.
For sleeping arrangements, there are two cozy bedrooms upstairs, as well as an alcove with a sliding door and an additional bedroom downstairs, perfect for added privacy or flexible accommodation.
