The glass igloos are designed to provide a 360-degree view of the surrounding landscape, allowing guests to feel truly immersed in nature.

Staying in a glass igloo is not just about the view; it’s about the entire experience. The igloos are equipped with modern amenities to ensure a comfortable stay, including heated floors, en-suite bathrooms, and luxurious bedding. The design of the igloos ensures that you remain warm and cosy, even as the temperatures outside drop. This blend of comfort and nature creates a magical atmosphere that is perfect for a winter vacation in Lapland.

Aurora Queen Resort is strategically positioned in Finnish Lapland, offering optimal northern-facing views where auroras are most frequently visible. Our resort is situated far from light pollution sources, ensuring clear skies and maximizing your chances of witnessing the Northern Lights in their full glory. The glass-ceiling igloos are perfectly oriented to take advantage of these unique geographical benefits, providing uninterrupted views of the night sky exactly where aurora activity is most concentrated. This careful positioning, combined with our remote Arctic location, creates ideal conditions for aurora viewing that few other accommodations can match.

Our resort is family-owned, and we take pride in offering a personalised and intimate experience for our guests.

Preparing for a stay in Lapland requires some thoughtful packing to ensure you are comfortable and ready for the unique conditions. Warm clothing is essential, as temperatures can drop significantly, especially at night. Layering is key, so pack thermal underwear, woollen sweaters, and a good quality winter coat. Don’t forget accessories like hats, gloves, and scarves to protect against the cold.

In addition to warm clothing, consider packing some practical items for your stay. A good pair of waterproof boots will be invaluable for exploring the snowy landscape. Sunglasses can be useful for protecting your eyes from the glare of the snow during the day. If you plan to capture the beauty of the northern lights, bring a camera with a tripod and a remote shutter release to get the best shots. Lastly, don’t forget to pack any personal items and toiletries you may need, as well as any medications.

While staying in a glass igloo is a highlight of any trip to Lapland, there are many other activities to enjoy in this winter wonderland. One of the most popular activities is a snowmobile safari, which allows you to explore the stunning landscapes and search for the northern lights. Guided tours are available for all levels of experience, making it accessible for everyone.

For those who prefer a slower pace, dog sledding is a fantastic way to experience the beauty of Lapland. Glide through the snow-covered forests and open plains, led by a team of enthusiastic huskies. Other activities include ice fishing, reindeer sleigh rides, and cross-country skiing. Each of these experiences offers a unique way to connect with the natural environment and create lasting memories.

Many guests wonder about their chances of witnessing the northern lights during their stay. At Aurora Queen Resort, winter months (November-March) offer approximately a 70% probability of seeing the aurora borealis during a 3-night stay. On clear nights, these chances increase to 90%, particularly during peak season from January to March when the dark polar nights provide optimal viewing conditions. December offers magical holiday ambiance, though occasional cloud cover might affect visibility.

To ensure you never miss this spectacular natural phenomenon, we provide a complimentary aurora alert service to all our guests. Our dedicated staff monitors aurora forecasts and activity levels throughout the night, and will notify you when the lights appear, allowing you to enjoy your comfortable accommodation until the perfect moment. Additionally, our expert guides share photography tips and techniques during your stay, helping you capture breathtaking images of this bucket-list experience. While nature cannot be guaranteed, our strategic location in Lapland’s aurora zone maximizes your chances of witnessing this magical display.

Our premium glass igloos at Aurora Queen Resort are meticulously engineered to provide both luxury and functionality. Each igloo measures 28 square meters, offering ample space for comfort without compromising the intimate experience. The innovative dome is constructed with NASA-inspired, laser-heated triple-glazed glass that prevents condensation and frost formation even in extreme temperatures, ensuring crystal-clear views of the northern lights throughout your stay.

Temperature control is paramount in the Arctic environment, which is why our igloos feature state-of-the-art climate systems maintaining a constant 21-23°C regardless of external conditions.
