Arcora Stay – A GENTLE IMMERSION INTO THE RHYTHM OF LAPLAND
This family-owned company in Finnish Lapland, is opening December 14, 2026 Arcora Boutique Hotel & Villas — a five-star boutique property on the edge of Pallas–Yllastunturi National Park, under some of the purest air and clearest aurora skies in the world.
Fifty-nine suites and villas, an eight-season culinary concept, artisan bakery, champagne bar, a rooftop spa with Finland’s northernmost infinity pool, and a full programme of private Arctic experiences — all created in-house, with our own huskies, reindeer, snowmobiles and long-serving guides, all with a strong commitment to sustainability.
What makes Arcora truly different is that it’s built on more than fifty years of our family’s story in the North. Every experience is hosted with genuine care, and the most exclusive are led personally by the owner-brothers themselves — something no other property in Lapland can offer.
Ahead of our opening, Arcora has already been warmly welcomed across some of the world’s leading travel and lifestyle media — including Luxury Travel Magazine, FOUR Magazine, Sleeper and Breaking Travel News — reaching a combined audience of well over 200 000 across four markets, before they have even opened their doors.
Whether you are are seeking the Northern Lights, wilderness, gastronomy or simply a rare sense of stillness, Arcora offers a truly exceptional way to experience the Arctic North.

Accommodations
Your stay unfolds in a suite or villa where the surrounding wilderness is always present.
Expansive windows open towards the landscape and the night sky, allowing light, silence, and the changing seasons to become part of each day. Inside, Nordic design and carefully chosen materials create a space that feels calm, warm, and intentional — nothing excessive, nothing missing.
Each villa is set slightly apart, offering a sense of privacy that is felt rather than emphasized. Upon arrival, our dedicated Concierge team member will escort you to your suite or villa, introducing you to every detail of your home for the stay.
Everything is prepared with care, allowing you to arrive, settle in, and simply be.
Detailed suite and villa descriptions are provided separately.
Dining
Dining at Arcora unfolds as part of the experience, shaped by season, nature, and the quiet pace of the Arctic.
Mornings begin slowly, with breakfast served at your table. A selection of cold dishes is complemented by warm plates prepared to order, allowing each guest to start the day in their own way.
During the day, lunch is served as its own moment. Later it’s followed by Arcora’s interpretation of Arctic afternoon tea, a generous and varied selection brought to the table, where familiar forms are reimagined through northern ingredients and quiet creativity.
Evenings are spent at Restaurant 8, where the kitchen draws from the surrounding wilderness and the rhythm of eight seasons. The menus are guided by simplicity, balance, and respect for ingredients. Each dish is prepared with care, shaped by hand, and served with a calm and attentive presence.
A curated wine pairing is available to complement the dining experience.
EXPERIENCES
At Arcora, experiences are not built around fixed programs, but around the rhythm of the day, the conditions, and the people within it.
Moments unfold in small groups, allowing space for calm, presence, and a more genuine connection to the surrounding landscape. Whether moving through forests, across open fells, or into encounters with the animals of the North, each
moment follows a natural, unforced pace.
Each experience is carefully prepared yet lightly held, guided with a quiet, attentive presence that allows the environment to lead. Nothing is rushed, nothing is over-explained — the experience is allowed to speak for itself.
For those seeking more privacy, experiences can also be arranged as tailored, private moments.
Minimum four nights package required to book.
