Davvi Arctic Lodge & Cabins

Karesuando is a picturesque village on the border of Finland and Sweden, which means that you are able to walk from your hotel into a different country. The main village sits on the Swedish side of the River Muonio, while the Davvi Arctic Lodge is in Finland.

The hotel is set on a secluded hillside on the edge of Karesuando, allowing you to savour the tranquillity of this beautiful, unspoiled region.

The centrepiece of the hotel is its distinctive restaurant which provides spectacular views across the snow covered hillside to the Swedish part of Karesuando. The circular design of the restaurant is inspired by the shape of the Sami reindeer corral.

You are spoilt for choice of accommodation at the Davvi Arctic Lodge. You can stay in hotel rooms, in timber cabins in the grounds or in suites at the Fell House, a converted border guard and customs house 150m away from the main hotel. New for 2012 is the luxury Aurora House.

The Davvi Arctic Lodge hotel rooms are set on two floors in a wing that extends from the main building. The rooms are simply furnished but comfortable. The double/twin rooms sleep two, plus one additional person on an extra bed (usually a convertible chair). The family rooms sleep four to five, with one double bed or two single beds, a sofa bed for up to two children (or one adult), and an extra chair bed or put up available for a third child. All rooms are en suite, although many of the bathrooms (shower, WC) are very small.

Please note that if the family rooms are utilised to their maximum occupancy the rooms can become cramped and storage space will be minimal.

The Cabins

The timber-built cabins are conveniently situated within the hotel grounds. The cabins are simple but cosy and all are en suite (shower, WC). Most cabins are semi-detached and sleep three or four, with one double or two single beds plus a sofa bed for up to two children in an open-plan area. There are two large detached two bedroom cabins that can sleep five or six with one double bedroom and one twin bedroom as well as a sofa bed in the living area that can take one or two children (or one adult). All cabins are located just metres from the main hotel building where meals are taken. All cabins have private saunas.

Please note that, as with hotel rooms, when the cabins are filled to maximum occupancy levels, the space and storage can be limited.

The Fell House provides spacious accommodation, ideal for families. The two bedroom family rooms sleep five to seven persons, with one double bedroom and one twin bedroom as well as a sofa in the sitting room which converts to accommodate two children (or one adult),and there is space for an extra chair bed or put up bed. The three bedroom family rooms, accommodate seven to nine persons with one double bedroom, two twin bedrooms,as well as a sofa in the sitting room which can convert to accommodate two children (or one adult) and there is also space for an extra chair bed or put up.

The Fell House is 150m away from the main Davvi Arctic Lodge building where meals are taken. It is connected by a purpose built footpath through the forest, which is on an incline with steps and may not be suitable for the elderly, infirm or people with walking difficulties.

All Fell House accommodation have private facilities (shower & WC) and are equipped with larger than standard TV screens showing local programmes only.
