Arctic Giant Birdhouse Hotel

Perched high on Kivesvaara Hill in Finland’s Arctic Lakeland, Arctic Giant Birdhouse Hotel is a boutique wilderness retreat offering spectacular panoramic views across forests and fells.

Its unique collection of Birdhouse Cabins, Panorama Houses and Luxury Birdhouses combines contemporary Nordic design with natural materials and modern comforts. Large picture windows bring the surrounding landscape indoors, while many accommodations feature private saunas and outdoor Jacuzzis, creating the perfect setting to relax beneath star-filled skies and, with luck, the northern lights.

Room options

Each room and cabin has been designed to immerse you in the surrounding landscape. The signature Birdhouse Cabins combine panoramic views with private saunas, kitchenettes and motorised beds, while the Luxury Birdhouses and Aurora Birdhouses offer elevated comfort for couples seeking a romantic escape. Spacious Panorama Houses provide floor-to-ceiling wilderness views alongside private outdoor Jacuzzis, creating an unforgettable setting in every season. Whether visiting during the snowy Arctic winter or the endless light of summer, every stay is centred around nature, comfort and seclusion.
