Nestled in the wilderness near Finland’s Urho Kekkonen National Park, Hotel Kakslauttanen has one of the Arctic Circle’s best views of the Aurora Borealis.  And for good reason – located a mere 250 km north of the Arctic Circle, guests can enjoy unobstructed views of the Northern Lights thanks to each igloo’s thermal glass walls and ceilings that have been coated with a special treatment preventing frost build up.  The igloo resort also has the world’s largest smoke sauna replete with its own restaurant.  You can also explore the local wilderness in a reindeer-led sled, and maybe even run into Santa.
