Overview

Near Saariselkä, on the edge of Urho Kekkonen National Park, this brand new boutique hotel offers the chance to press the reset button in a stunning location. Slow down and enjoy the full wellness experience at Gáldu’s spa.

Arctic Relaxation

Start with your choice of three saunas: the traditional dry heat Finnish sauna, a Finnish wood-burning sauna offering sweeping views of the frozen landscape and the calming steam room. Take a dip in the warm pool before braving the invigorating cold plunge—a core part of the Gáldu ritual. Then, soak in the outdoor Jacuzzi as you take in the crisp Arctic air and peaceful winter scenery. You’ll leave feeling refreshed and recharged.

Arctic Experiences

Depending on the length of your stay, you can immerse yourself in authentic Arctic adventures. The Arctic Essentials 3-night holiday includes a reindeer sleigh ride through snow-covered landscapes and a visit to a local reindeer farm, offering a genuine taste of Arctic culture. The Nordic Signature 4-night holiday also includes the chance to meet friendly huskies and set off on an exhilarating ride through snowy forests.
