About this stay

Nestled between the fells of Finnish Lapland, Jänkä Resort in Ylläs is a peaceful winter escape. The resort features thirteen premium villas combining Nordic design and natural comfort. Each villa has a private sauna and outdoor hot tub – perfect for soaking under the stars as the northern lights shimmer above.

Skylights and large windows bring the snowy landscape inside, day and night. Thanks to clear skies and minimal light pollution, the northern lights often appear right outside your villa.

Winter at Jänkä is all about choice. Explore frozen forests on a snowmobile or join a northern lights tour. Husky safaris offer speed and excitement, while quieter moments can be found on snowshoeing treks, skiing tours, ice fishing trips – or a traditional reindeer sleigh ride through peaceful, snowy marshland.

After a day outdoors, settle in for a seasonal meal at the resort’s restaurant. Created together with Chef Hans Välimäki, the menu draws on classic French technique refined through Nordic ingredients, served in a calm, warmly lit atmosphere.
