Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort

The resort has four restaurants across its two villages. The East Village Restaurant, set in a traditional Kelo-log chalet, is the main dining venue for guests in the East Village, drawing on Lappish produce with reindeer, fish from local waters, and seasonal specialities alongside international options.

Aurora Restaurant is the West Village’s main dining room, serving Lappish cuisine alongside Asian dishes. Breakfast and dinner are included for most accommodation types. Korsu Restaurant offers a more intimate setting within the Kakslauttanen Cosmos complex, and Savusauna Restaurant is attached to the resort’s smoke sauna for post-sauna meals in a setting unlike anywhere else on the property.

Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort stands 250km north of the Arctic Circle in the Saariselkä fell region of Finnish Lapland, on the edge of Urho Kekkonen National Park.

The nearest airport is Ivalo, around 30 minutes by road, with regular flights from Helsinki. The resort operates its own shuttle between the villages and to the airport. The surrounding fell landscape gives direct access to Northern Lights hunting from late August to April, and to the midnight sun, fishing, canoeing, and horse trekking through the summer months. The Russian border lies to the east and Saariselkä ski resort is 25km north.
