It is not only the most exclusive lodge in Lapland, but also the right, no, better the perfect place to accommodate the most discerning guests in the far north. A log cabin in an absolutely isolated, secluded location with only 2 or 10 luxurious guest rooms, in a mix of traditional Lapland country house and trendy Nordic Scandi-chic, which you can only rent exclusively. A really cosy lounge, a private chef who will conjure up the delicacies of Nordic cuisine, a butler who will look after you and your wishes, a sauna for even more relaxation, your own nature guides who will accompany you knowledgeably and charmingly.

The property, which is accessible by helicopter, snowmobile or car (20 minutes by car to Rovaniemi Lapland International Airport, 1 hour by snowmobile, 3 hours by dog sled or reindeer sled possible), is situated on a private property of more than 300 hectares surrounded by silent wilderness and free-roaming reindeer. The log walls represent the most ecological and traditional building style in the region, while the wood-fired sauna and geothermal heating ensure that you can enjoy warmth and comfort even in the coldest months of the year.

Your Sami host, the owner and initiator, personally welcomes you to his Lappish homeland, to his house, your home for your stay. His architects have designed, realised and created a wilderness luxury retreat in a class of its own in the style of Lappish and Sami tradition with a great deal of passion and passion, perfectly implementing the philosophy of "new luxury".
The shape of Octola is derived from traditional Lappish "laavu" buildings, which in the past provided shelter for people living a nomadic life. Part of the philosophy of luxury in Lapland is to be secluded, away from the crowds, and at one with nature, but with access to every imaginable private service and comfort. In such a place you will find inspiration and relaxation. At Octola Lodge you will find and experience this for yourself.
