Marvel at the Northern Lights from your glass igloo
Europe, Finland
Scientists are predicting 2025 will bring the best Northern Lights display in 20 years! Located in Finland’s Lapland region, we all know who the most famous resident here is, and we’d put money on Santa spending most of his downtime at an igloo resort!
These snow-tucked hotels boast multiple glass igloos and will be the perfect place to witness the aurora borealis. Accommodating between two and four guests, a domed thermal glass design and zero WiFi, these igloos allow you to take a cosy digital detox beneath a fluttering of snow and the best starlit sky in Europe. Marbling the sky from August through to late April, for a once-in-a-lifetime auroras experience, book an igloo stay.

Experiencing travel through the eyes of my daughter, has given me a whole new perspective and thirst for travel.
It enables me to slow my pace, look around and just enjoy being in the moment as she interacts with local people.
It brings back that feeling I had when I first travelled overseas, and I feel so grateful to be able to experience something so meaningful and life changing with my daughter.
