Experience the Arctic without compromising on comfort.
Our Signature Arctic Escapes combine extraordinary landscapes and exceptional Aurora experiences with some of the most distinctive places to stay across Finland, Sweden, Norway and Iceland – from secluded wilderness retreats and beautifully designed cabins to glass-fronted suites where the Arctic sky becomes part of the experience.
This isn’t about traditional 5* luxury. It’s about something more meaningful: space, privacy, design-led accommodation and unforgettable Arctic moments that feel entirely your own.
Whether you’re celebrating something special or simply want your Northern Lights holiday to feel truly unforgettable, we’ll help you find an Arctic escape with a little more space, privacy and indulgence.

Luxury in the Arctic isn’t necessarily about marble lobbies, concierges, and vast five-star city hotels.
Sometimes it means having one of the few exclusive rooms in a tiny wilderness retreat run by the same family for many years. A small group being looked after by experts guides during an activity they cannot help but share their passion for. A private sauna after a day in the snow. Exceptional food served somewhere miles from the nearest town. Or lying in bed watching the Arctic sky through laser-heated glass to make sure you get the best view.
Our Signature Arctic Escapes have been selected because they offer something genuinely special – combining remarkable locations, carefully chosen accommodation, and the experiences that make a Northern Lights holiday unforgettable.
Each destination brings its own version of Arctic magic.
Finland offers vast wilderness, innovative glass-roofed accommodation and classic Lapland experiences like saunas, huskies, reindeer and snowmobiling.
Sweden is all about remote forest retreats, striking design and iconic stays like the ICEHOTEL®, where the accommodation itself becomes part of the adventure.
Iceland adds a dramatic volcanic edge – think geothermal lagoons, black sand landscapes, waterfalls and wide-open skies that are perfect for Aurora watching.
Norway brings a spectacular coastal dimension to the Northern Lights experience, with dramatic fjords, island archipelagos and charming fishing villages set beneath some of the clearest Aurora skies in the Arctic.

For many guests, where they stay is just as important as what they do.

Across all three destinations, you’ll also find accommodation with easy access to a wide range of Arctic activities – from husky sledding and snowmobiling to glacier hikes, geothermal bathing and Northern Lights hunting excursions.
“Luxury” means different things to different people.
You might prioritise privacy. Incredible food. Beautiful architecture. A hot tub beneath the Arctic sky. A private experience for two. Or simply enough time and space to properly switch off.
