LAPLAND
—This romantic and indulgent escape in Scandinavia’s pristine Arctic North combines a refreshing sense of space and pure fresh air with exclusive, romantic, cosy retreats, including a fairytale log cabin and a specially constructed ice abode.
—With the arctic wilderness all to yourselves you‘ll experience this harsh, unforgiving landscape in spectacular style, with an exclusive dog-sledding adventure, and unique viewing of the breath-taking Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). Whilst you take off on an exhilarating snowmobile expedition to discover the indigenous Sami people and experience a traditional reindeer ‘round-up‘, your private chef will be preparing gourmet delights and local delicacies for you to feast upon on your return.
—For your first and final night, you‘ll stay in a luxurious private log-cabin, especially upgraded for your stay, and complete with stoked saunas. For your second night in Lapland you’ll be welcomed into your own specially constructed, one-off ice abode to fully engage in this magical environment. This fairy-tale escape is a truly intimate experience, shared only with your partner and the pristine Arctic.
