About this stay

Vaattunki Wilderness Resort welcomes you for a boutique hideaway that redefines Arctic hospitality. Located in one of Rovaniemi’s most scenic landscapes, shaped by the Raudanjoki River, Vaattunki is designed for travellers who seek adventure and serenity in an intimate nature setting.

Completing an exciting transformation in Summer 2025, Vaattunki is elevating its boutique experience with thoughtfully upgraded accommodations and refined spaces. Seamlessly blending Lapland’s raw beauty with cosy elegance, our reimagined resort offers an inviting escape where every detail is carefully curated for your comfort.

Choose between four types of accommodation depending on what you are looking for. Riverside Suites if you value boutique comfort and privacy with own cosy living area, sauna and outdoor jacuzzi. Aurora Cabin Igloo is an iconic option if you want to fall asleep under the northern lights or wake up to the soft glow of a winter morning. Arctic Deluxe Rooms, set in a traditional log house, is a perfect option for those wanting to be close to nature without sacrificing comfort. And Panorama Hut is a great choice for guests who enjoy a smart compact cabin with all needed essentials.

We want our guests to leave with stories that last. At Vaattunki, arctic nature and adventure begin right at your doorstep: join our husky or reindeer rides, snowmobiling safaris, or explore the scenic trails of the Arctic Circle Hiking Area. And what can be a better way to end a day of outdoor adventures than relaxing in our river view sauna?!

Of course, your stay wouldn’t be complete without the taste of it all. Niva Restaurant brings the landscape to your table, offering international flavours with a Lappish touch, and panoramic views to match. Enjoy an exceptional breakfast, a relaxed lunch, or dinner served with effortless style — and if hunger strikes between meals, our lounge menu is always ready to welcome you.

Your unforgettable Lapland escape starts here.
