Tips for a Romantic Stay in Finland's Igloo Hotels:
When planning your stay, remember that the Northern Lights are unpredictable. Plan on at least three nights to maximize your chances of seeing them. Some apps track Aurora forecasts for the best viewing times, so use them.
Pack for Warmth: While your igloo will be warm, you will need layers and thermal pieces when you leave it for outdoor activities like dog sledding or ice fishing.
Enhance the Experience: Finland's hotels offer romantic touches like saunas, candlelit dinners, private Arctic photo shoots, or outdoor hot tubs. Please indulge in these luxuries for a truly unforgettable experience.
