We came here hoping for the type of romantic, once in a lifetime experience you see on Instagram. What we got was bad weather, and a "resort" with no included amenities, and that is close to absolutely nothing. Youre stranded here, with nothing to do besides book their activities for $150. This was the most disappointing place ive ever stayed in over 36 countries.

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.

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.

What a wonderful surprise! We 3 adults stayed in a Family Unit that was cozy yet spacious. Our view was breathtaking for the entire two night stay! Loved all the effort put into this resort to accommodate and enhance your experience. The unit design was efficient and the “reindeer” made us smile. We ate at the restaurant twice and it was wonderful. The breakfast too. What a wonderful surprise!

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.

Amazing experience 10/10

Upon arrival we weren’t able to check in yet but Patty gave us a thorough overview of the grounds and services and allowed us to store our luggage while we explored the grounds. There is so much to do and it’s a pity we couldn’t spend more time. There’s a shuttle that goes to Santa’s village which was very convenient. The resort is remote enough that you’re able to see the northern lights on a clear day. The staff even set up a bonfire for us while we went on our own hunt. The restaurants were amazing all around. The cabin was incredibly beautiful and cozy. I cannot recommend this resort more !
