Peace & Quiet Nature Hotel, Jokkmokk, Swedish Lapland
Nestled among ancient pine and spruce forests by the Lule River, next to the Laponia World Heritage Site, Peace & Quiet Nature Hotel offers an unforgettable adventure in Sámi land. Choose from floating glass rooms on the lake, mountain glass rooms with epic views, or a flying glass room where a helicopter takes your igloo on a five-hour ride. Each room is perfect for two guests, making it the ultimate nature getaway with a seriously cool twist.
Aurora Glass Igloos Camp, Kiruna, Sweden
With everything from pick-up and drop-off to breakfast and sauna sessions taken care of, you can simply relax and take in the stunning views. The glass igloo and waterfront igloo by the Torne River offer ultimate privacy, letting you fully immerse in nature’s beauty. Light a fire, have a BBQ dinner, stargaze by the firepit, or cosy up in your room and watch for the Aurora Borealis.
Reykjavik Domes, Reykjavik, Iceland
With the majestic, snow-capped Mt Esja as a breath-taking backdrop, these domes—only 15 minutes from Reykjavík—are ideal for catching the northern lights. Snuggle up under the covers and watch the auroras from the transparent domes, or let the staff set up a northern lights tour for an added thrill.
To catch the northern lights at their best, aim for October to April. During these months, the winter nights are darker, there’s less daylight, and the skies are typically clearer—perfect conditions for spotting the auroras, weather permitting.
