There are journeys that redefine luxury travel – where the landscape, architecture, and even the air feel touched by magic. Deep in the untouched reaches of Swedish Lapland, three extraordinary properties offer a seamless itinerary that lets you chase the Northern Lights in luxury, think private transfers in luxury vehicles, your very own private chef, and exhilarating winter activities just for you. Welcome to the ultimate Arctic escape: Arctic Retreat, Aurora Safari Camp, and Treehotel – a trilogy of unique accommodation that will stay with you forever.
Start with the stillness at the Arctic Retreat
The Arctic Retreat
Tucked along the Råne River, Arctic Retreat is a private collection of handcrafted log cabins cocooned in pine forest. Here, silence reigns, and the Northern Lights often dance across the sky like silk in the wind. Mornings start in your private hot tub, with steam rising against an orange sunrise. Your days are for snowshoeing, dog sledging, and snowmobiling on frozen lakes, or you could choose to simply unplug and unwind by a log fire, enjoying Nordic cuisine prepared by your private chef. When darkness falls early, you settle into cosy snowsuits and watch the aurora shimmer overhead—and listen to the quietness of the forest, or watch from your hot tub, or even from your bed, with floor-to-ceiling glass elevations making the most of the stunning views.
Into the wild at Aurora Safari Camp
Aurora Safari Camp
A short transfer transports you from your luxury log cabin to the beauty of the Aurora Safari Camp, just above the Arctic Circle. Situated on a frozen lake, its tipi-style tents are warmed by wood-burning stoves and appointed with Scandinavian furnishings. This is luxury with a spirit of adventure: fat biking on snow trails, snowmobiling over frozen lakes, learning local Sámi traditions, and, of course, nightly aurora hunting with your expert guides. Sit by the fire and listen to the sounds of the lake moving, and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of home.
Finish with a view of the forest at Treehotel
Treehotel
Your final destination is the world-famous Treehotel, where individually designed gravity-defying rooms hover among the pines. Whether you choose the Mirrorcube, UFO, or 7th Room, each architectural marvel is designed to blur the line between nature and imagination. High up in the canopy, you’re afforded a panoramic perch for watching the Northern Lights—with huge windows or a terraced view, the Northern Lights are never far away. Gourmet dinners, forest saunas, and the ever-changing Arctic light complete this magical end to your Aurora Escape.
The Perfect Aurora Arc
You’ll move through three different kinds of luxury – secluded, adventurous, and surreal – each shaped by the Swedish wilderness. And while aurora sightings can never be guaranteed, in this corner of the world, with the right conditions, they’re as regular as starlight.
For those seeking the extraordinary, this itinerary offers more than a vacation. It’s a passage into the Arctic’s quiet soul – best experienced wrapped in luxury, under the green glow of the Northern Lights.
