Overview

Nangu Wilderness Hotel is an adult-only resort. With a setting on the southern shore of Lake Inari it has breathtaking open views – perfect for witnessing the northern lights and offers high quality accommodation and thrilling winter activities.

Offering a different concept to its three sister properties – Nellim, Muotka and Inari, which are family friendly resorts – Nangu is an adult only resort consisting of three log buildings, giving the hotel an authentic feel of Lapland and only 20 minutes from Ivalo village, it is within easy access to the airport and surrounding areas.

Providing an ideal location for relaxation as well as aurora spotting should the conditions allow, there is also a wide range of outdoor activities including husky safaris, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and ice-fishing to keep you entertained both day and evening.

Travelling in December – Christmas and New Year

Christmas and New Year are a very magical time here in the Arctic, beautiful festive lights sparkling in the snow, decorations and tasty traditional food and cakes. On Christmas Eve, the much awaited Santa will bring a small present for everyone. Toast the New Year with sparkling wine before gathering outside for bonfire and fireworks to welcome in the new year!

Accommodation

Nangu Wilderness Hotel

The main lodge is open plan with a large panorama window facing the lake and comfortable lounge areas with fire place at one end. There are 24 rooms in total, furnished in an authentic Lapland style and split between standard rooms – 15 are in a separate building and 4 are in the original part of the lodge. The third building houses the superior rooms (larger with panoramic window facing Lake Inari), 1 of which has a private sauna. So the number of guests will be relatively low, giving an intimate and cosy atmosphere to the resort.

Aurora Accommodation Options

Sleeping 2 people, the Aurora Log Cabins have a laser-heated glass roof directly above the bed giving a direct view to the northern sky. Alternatively, for a truly unique experience the Aurora Hut offers a ‘glamping’ opportunity overnighting on Lake Inari only a few hundred meters from the resort’s main building.

Seated comfortably in a sledge pulled behind a guide’s snowmobile you are driven to one of the chosen camp spots where an open fire and hot drinks keep you warm while waiting for the sky to show the magical northern lights.
