    6 days - Celebrate New Year's Eve in Pyhä

    Located 100 km above the Arctic Circle in the fell scenery of one of Finland’s oldest national parks, Pyhä-Luosto National Park, Sunday Morning Resort is a retreat offering access to unbelievable Arctic experiences and Northern Lights opportunities. Despite being just 90 minutes from Rovaniemi, the capital of Finnish Lapland and also the nearest airport, the resort is located away from light pollution on the shores of Lake Pyhä – making it the perfect place for hunting the Aurora Borealis. With its lakeside and forest surroundings, the resort is aptly named to reflect the atmosphere here - every day is like a tranquil Sunday morning and you’ll feel the serenity as soon as you arrive.

    This tiny Lapland resort has rooms for only 28 guests - 4 double rooms within the lodge and 4 cabins with lofts for younger members of the family.

    Highlights include

    • Built from old pine timber, the main lodge honours the natural surroundings, creating a wonderful log cabin feel
    • The resort is carbon neutral with the help of eco-friendly heating systems and the dense forest surroundings
    • Its big, bright dining area, lounge and cosy lobby bar are the perfect common areas to relax in after a day exploring the beautiful Arctic scenes
    • Enjoy traditional food made using local organic ingredients in the hotel restaurant
    • Work out in the gym then unwind in the modern sauna downstairs
    • At the lakeside, enjoy the wood-heated and traditional smoke sauna as well as a wood-fired hot tub (additional cost).
