The hype
Travelers adore the location and the private saunas, but often find the restaurant options limited and the prices steep for what is essentially a fancy campground.
Tundrea Holiday Resort
$130-550/ ночь
Смело бронируйте, если You want a front-row seat to the Northern Lights with a private sauna, and you don't mind being in the middle of nowhere.
Почему людям нравится
- Private saunas in almost every cabin and apartment
- Glass-roofed 'Wau Houses' for lazy aurora hunting from bed
- Direct access to Saana Fell hiking trails and snowmobile routes
Краткий обзор: A solid, well-equipped basecamp for Arctic adventures that trades luxury service for raw nature and reindeer in your driveway.
Подтверждено @nawfanurie: I stayed in this glass igloo and it was honestly the dreamiest escape. Watching the Northern Lights from my bed and soaking in the hot tub surrounded by snow was unforgettable. If you want a romantic Arctic trip, this is it.
Гости, которые останавливались здесь, говорят
Reality check
The 'luxury' igloos have complaints about sewage smells in the upstairs showers and condensation issues.
- You can build your own fire and enjoy silence
- You prioritize hiking/snowmobiling over room service
- You want to walk to Norway (or at least the border)
Чистота и уход
8.5
- Housekeeping: No daily service in cabins. You arrive to a clean room, but you're on your own for the stay unless you pay extra.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally spotless, though the 'sewage smell' in some igloo showers is a recurring specific complaint.
- Maintenance: Most cabins are well-kept, but older units show wear. Ice buildup on igloo windows is a functional failure.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality—clean and functional, not luxury.
- Odors & scents: Fresh wood smoke outside, neutral inside (except for that specific shower drain issue).

FAQ и советы
Всё, что вы действительно хотели бы знать перед бронированием.
Is breakfast included?
Usually no. It costs around €10-12 and must often be pre-ordered or is served as a basket to your room in low season.
Can I see the Northern Lights from my room?
Yes, especially from the Wau Houses or the balconies of the Saana Cabins, provided the sky is clear.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, pets are welcome in specific cabins for a fee of ~€15 per stay.
Is there a pool?
No, but there is a lakeside sauna with an ice hole for winter dipping (for the brave).
How do I get there?
Most guests drive from Tromsø (Norway) or fly into Enontekiö/Kittilä and take a bus/taxi. A car is highly recommended.
Are linens and towels provided?
Policy changed in 2022 to include them, but double-check your specific booking type as some economy options might still unbundle them.
