Jauri Resort is a peaceful lakeside retreat in the heart of Finnish Lapland, situated on the shores of Lake Pöyliöjärvi in the small town of Kemijärvi. Surrounded by forests and beautiful Arctic scenery, it offers a wonderful combination of natural tranquillity, comfortable accommodation and easy access to the experiences that make a Lapland holiday so special. The resort is close to the town centre, so while you can enjoy the feeling of being close to nature, local restaurants, shops and supermarkets are within easy reach.
The setting is a particular highlight, with the lake providing a beautiful backdrop throughout the changing seasons. In winter, the landscape transforms into a peaceful Arctic wonderland, with snow-covered trees
and frozen lake views. As darkness falls, the northern sky offers the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights, making the resort a lovely base for those hoping to experience this natural phenomenon.
Jauri offers several styles of accommodation, from modern hotel rooms overlooking the lake to traditional log cabins with private saunas and spacious apartments for families and groups. Whether you prefer the convenience of a hotel or the privacy of your own cabin, there is an option to suit different styles of travel. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it easy to unwind after a day exploring the surrounding wilderness.
Hotel facilities
- Restaurant: The resort’s restaurant overlooks the lake and provides a welcoming place to enjoy meals during your stay. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available, with dining arrangements depending on the season and booking. The restaurant also caters for groups and special occasions.
- Lakeside sauna and outdoor jacuzzi: Embrace a much-loved Finnish tradition by unwinding in the sauna after a day in the Arctic outdoors.

- Winter activities: Jauri works with local partners to offer a range of Arctic experiences, including husky safaris, reindeer sleigh rides, snowmobile adventures, snowshoeing and ice fishing. There are also guided night-sky experiences, offering the chance to enjoy the peaceful surroundings after dark.
- A convenient location: Although the resort enjoys a peaceful lakeside setting, Kemijärvi town centre is within walking distance. Guests can explore local cafés, restaurants, shops and supermarkets, offering flexibility during their stay.
