Northern Lights Village Pyhä

One of our favourite partners, Northern Lights Village, launched their brand new destination in Pyhä in 2023. We have been privileged enough to watch this awesome team create two of our most popular destinations from the initial concept stage right through to the professional operation to which we send hundreds of happy guests each month during the Autumn and Winter seasons.

The small village of Pyhä is around 130km North of the Arctic Circle and around 90 minutes from Rovaniemi airport. The Northern Lights Village is located about 5km from the nearby downhill ski resort. The village is set in a beautiful, picturesque snowy forest and just a very short walk away you can find the frozen Lake Pyhäjärvi.

There is a restaurant and reception building on site where all your meals will be served. At a safari house you will be issued cold-weather clothing, and this is the meeting point for your activities. Please note that hot water is limited in certain accommodation types.

There are four types of accommodation located at this Northern Lights Village (2 of which are exclusive to this location!)

Taiga Forest Cabin

These two-bedroom idyllic log cabins are nestled amongst the snowy forest. They are ideal for larger families and offer 2 bedrooms and space for 2 more guests to sleep in the lounge area on a sofa bed. There will be 10 in total.

These spacious suites are 60m² and have their own private sauna and electric fireplace. There are fewer places we can imagine being cosier to return to after one of the exciting activities available during your stay.

These cabins effortlessly combine traditional Finnish construction with stylish and modern Scandinavian design. Just steps outside the front door and you can breathe in the crisp forest air and enjoy the peace and tranquillity which is so hard to find in modern life.

Look no further for the epitome of the cosy cabin to be your base for your once in a lifetime holiday to Lapland.

Aurora Cabin

The tried, tested and eternally popular Aurora Cabins feature here as at all Northern Lights Villages.

Each of the 15 cabins is 29m² and has a double or twin bed under the heated glass ceiling. Some of the cabins also have a sofa bed which allows up to 4 guests in each cabin (we would recommend a maximum of 3 adults 4 adults would be very cosy!)

The Aurora cabins have an en-suite toilet and shower room. They have tea and coffee making facilities and a hairdryer.

Cabins are not cleaned between arrival and departure unless requested from reception. Additionally, towels can be exchanged at reception if required.

Aurora Suite

There are 10 Aurora Suites hidden amongst the snowy forest scenery in Pyhä. These suites are more spacious at 44m² and sleep a maximum of 5 people (we would recommend a maximum of 4 adults 5 adults would be very cosy!). They feature the iconic glass roof to allow you to (hopefully) lie in bed and enjoy the Aurora dancing overhead.

Complementing the celestial magic, the Aurora Suites provide abundant space and comfort, making them perfect for families seeking an extraordinary getaway. Accommodating up to 5 people and featuring a private sauna, these suites blend luxury and practicality

Sky View Suite

These are an exciting and innovative new room type for Northern Lights Village Pyhä. Their distinctive design sets them apart from traditional accommodation.

There are 10 in total and at 35 m², they are more spacious than the Aurora Cabins. They have a large, panoramic sloped glass roof looking to the Northern sky which is also heated to melt any snowfall, as well as an electric fireplace.

There is a double or twin bed situated under the glass windows and a sofa bed for 2 additional people. The suites also have a kitchenette and dining table, although all meals are served in the hotel restaurant. They have an en-suite bathroom with shower.
