Northern Lights Village Pyhä
 |  |  |  |
One of our favourite partners, Northern Lights Village, opened the doors on their brand new destination in Pyhä in 2023. We have been privileged enough to watch this awesome team create two of our most popular destinations from the initial concept stage right through to the professional operation to which we send hundreds of happy guests each month during the Autumn and Winter seasons.
The small village of Pyhä is around 130km North of the Arctic Circle and around 90 minutes from Rovaniemi airport. The Northern Lights Village is located about 5km from the nearby downhill ski resort. The village is set in a beautiful, picturesque snowy forest and just a very short walk away you can find the frozen Lake Pyhäjärvi.
Facilities
- This is the only Northern Lights Village with 4 different types of accommodation, 2 of which are exclusive to Pyhä. You will be spoilt for choice between the 3 different glass roofed options (each special in it’s own way) or the effortlessly cool, stylish Taiga (pronounced like Tiger) cabins. There is something for everyone here!
- The Aurora Cabins, Aurora Suites and Sky View Suites are all located near to the main building with the snowy forest extending into the distance behind them. The Taiga cabins are a 5-10 minute walk from the main building and set further into the snowy picturesque forest. There are always some sledges lying around to borrow to help get any littlies with tired legs back to the cabin.
- Almost all of the activities start onsite and those which don’t are less than a 15-minute drive away. No lengthy transfers here to waste time on your holiday!
- There is an onsite restaurant where all your meals will be served and a large bar/ lounge area too. You can enjoy a buffet breakfast of hearty continental options and hot dishes, while evening meals feature local delicacies like reindeer and Arctic char. Vegetarian, vegan and other dietary requirements are well-catered for with advanced notice. There is also a Bistro menu if you wished to upgrade one evening (payable locally).
- All of your winter clothing is provided, simply go to the onsite Safari House where overalls, gloves, boots, skis and snowshoes are stored for easy access. The local team will be happy to advise on sizing and how to dress to complement the clothing provided (The Aurora Zone also provides a comprehensive suggested packing list too with top tips from our experts). You can also exchange your clothing at any stage if it gets wet or cold so you are ready for your next adventure!
- There are two private ‘Aurora Cabin saunas’ with hot tubs on site – these are really popular and an awesome way to unwind and relax. You can either book these in advance with our team to ensure availability or locally with the reception (additional payment required unless this is listed in the ‘what’s included’ section of your specific holiday)
Aurora Cabin
The tried, tested and eternally popular Aurora Cabins feature here as at all Northern Lights Villages.
Each of the 15 cabins is 29m² and has a double or twin bed under the heated glass ceiling. Some of the cabins also have a sofa bed which allows up to 4 guests in each cabin (we would recommend a maximum of 3 adults – 4 adults would be very cosy!)
The Aurora cabins have an en-suite toilet and shower room. They have tea and coffee making facilities and a hairdryer.
Cabins are not cleaned between arrival and departure unless requested from reception. Additionally, towels can be exchanged at reception if required.
Taiga Forest Cabin
These two-bedroom idyllic log cabins are nestled amongst the snowy forest. They are ideal for larger families and offer 2 bedrooms and space for 2 more guests to sleep in the lounge area on a sofa bed. There will be 10 in total.
These spacious suites are 60m² and have their own private sauna and electric fireplace. There are fewer places we can imagine being cosier to return to after one of the exciting activities available during your stay.
These cabins effortlessly combine traditional Finnish construction with stylish and modern Scandinavian design. Just steps outside the front door and you can breathe in the crisp forest air and enjoy the peace and tranquillity which is so hard to find in modern life.
Look no further for the epitome of the cosy cabin to be your base for your once in a lifetime holiday to Lapland.
Aurora Suite
There are 10 Aurora Suites hidden amongst the snowy forest scenery in Pyhä. These suites are more spacious at 44m² and sleep a maximum of 5 people (we would recommend a maximum of 4 adults – 5 adults would be very cosy!). They feature the iconic glass roof to allow you to (hopefully) lie in bed and enjoy the Aurora dancing overhead.
Complementing the celestial magic, the Aurora Suites provide abundant space and comfort, making them perfect for families seeking an extraordinary getaway. Accommodating up to 5 people and featuring a private sauna, these suites blend luxury and practicality
Sky View Suite
These are an exciting and innovative new room type for Northern Lights Village Pyhä. Their distinctive design sets them apart from traditional accommodation.
There are 10 in total and at 35 m², they are more spacious than the Aurora Cabins. They have a large, panoramic sloped glass roof looking to the Northern sky which is also heated to melt any snowfall, as well as an electric fireplace.
There is a double or twin bed situated under the glass windows and a sofa bed for 2 additional people. The suites also have a kitchenette and dining table, although all meals are served in the hotel restaurant. They have an en-suite bathroom with shower.
