A Few of the Best Hotels for the Northern Lights

The Best Time To See the Northern Lights


For the best chance to see the Northern Lights, visit between late September and late March, when the skies are dark and clear. 


Norway, Iceland, Finland, and Swedish Lapland are top viewing spots. January and February often offer peak conditions, especially around Tromsø, Abisko, or the Finnish Lakeland under minimal light pollution.

Bespoke Holidays to see the Northern Lights

The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are one of nature’s most enchanting spectacles, captivating travelers with their dancing, multicolored lights across the night sky. Witnessing this ethereal phenomenon is a bucket-list experience, and the best destinations offer not only awe-inspiring views but also luxurious touches to elevate the adventure.

Highlights of the Northern Lights

Deplar Farm

Fljót, Iceland

It doesn’t get more off-the-grid than the Fljót Valley on the mountainous Troll Peninsula in northern Iceland. Deplar Farm, named one of 2023’s “Best Hotels in the World” on Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List, embodies an adventurous spirit fueled by deep connections to extraordinary landscapes. This remote area is a gateway for adventures ranging from skiing to sea kayaking and the perfect location for viewing the Aurora Borealis due to its notable lack of artificial light.

Located on a converted 15th century sheep farm, Deplar Farm blends into the natural landscape with its black timber cladding and turf roof. Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the property embrace the surrounding peaks and allow for an optimal perspective on the colourful skies dancing outside.

Logger's Lodge

Lapland, Sweden

Welcome to life at 66 degrees North. From the endless midsummer nights with its lush green forests to the mythical Northern Lights in the colourful autumn or a magical white winter. With no light, sound, or air pollution, this is a place where you can disconnect from the outside world and experience untouched nature in its purest form.

Loggers Lodge, a remote exclusive use cabin, where attention to detail is paramount and warm hospitality from passionate owners characterises every moment. Whether you want a unique romantic stay as a couple or fun and valuable quality time with your family, this is where memories are created and remembered for the rest of your life.

Arctic Treehouse Hotel

Lapland, Finland

Arctic TreeHouse Hotel provides a unique blend of luxury comfort in the heart of Arctic nature, local Lappish traditions and modern Scandinavian design.

In contrast to the meticulously designed accommodation and nest-like cosiness, the panoramic views from the windows provide impressive spectacles of the forest and Arctic skies: the Northern Lights and Midnight Sun can be admired from the comfort of your bed. The exceptional restaurant serves culinary delights prepared in stylish surroundings using Arctic ingredients.

THE NORTH OF NORWAY

Norway is famed for its stunning Arctic landscapes and unmatched Northern Lights displays. Stay in glass-roofed igloos in Tromsø, perfectly positioned under the auroral oval, as the lights swirl overhead. For a more immersive experience, enjoy private snowmobiling excursions or reindeer sleigh rides under the glowing sky, enveloped by Norway’s undisturbed Arctic serenity.

ICELANDIC SPLENDOUR

Iceland combines dramatic terrain with opportunities to view the Aurora, making it a dream destination. Luxury lodges nestled in remote areas like Thingvellir National Park provide serene settings for this celestial show. Pair this with exclusive geothermal bathing experiences in secluded hot springs or an adventurous glacier hike to create extraordinary memories under nature’s light dance.

REMOTE FINLAND

Finland is a haven for couples and families seeking an intimate Aurora experience. Opt for glass-domed cabins in Lapland, where the Northern Lights glow right above your bed, or indulge in a personalized husky-sledding adventure through the snowy wilderness. Finnish hospitality, gourmet Nordic cuisine, and the magic of the Aurora complete a sublime and unforgettable getaway.
