Yurt District

Yurt District on the Banks of the Ounasjoki River

Yurt District is a welcoming, unique place to stay in the nature of Finnish Lapland next to the beautiful river. We offer a peaceful retreat far from city lights — yet just 20 minutes from the Rovaniemi city center. Our small, local company creates a warm and personal atmosphere where every guest is treated like family.

Surrounded by open skies and untouched nature, it’s the perfect spot to witness the Northern Lights, unwind in a traditional Finnish sauna, soak in a hot outdoor jacuzzi, or gather by an open-fire BBQ under the stars. With comfort, sustainability, and authenticity at our core, your stay with us is more than accommodation — it’s a true Lapland experience.

The Perfect Place to Watch the Northern Lights

With us, you don’t need to go chasing the Northern Lights — we can make the whole area completely dark. There are no nearby lights, and the auroras can be seen directly from the yurt.

Staying in the Yurt Is an Experience

As evening falls and Arctic silence surrounds you, a breathtaking view unfolds. A clear starry sky stretches above, and on cloudless nights you can admire millions of stars right from your doorstep. And when the sky comes alive, the Northern Lights dance above you – shades of green, violet, and red painting the night with nature’s most magical spectacle.

  • No need to go far – step outside or admire the view warmly from inside your yurt
  • The perfect place to slow down and connect with nature
  • One of the best places in the world to experience the Northern Lights and a star-filled night

Here, nature shows you its finest side – all you need to do is pause and look up.

What Makes Us Different from Other Hosts?

We are a small and personal company. Our yurts represent luxury glamping at its best; you can feel surrounded by Lapland’s nature while lying in our comfortable beds or relaxing in the armchairs. And if you wish to get even closer to nature in complete privacy, you can stay in our hillside yurt, located all by itself in the midst of Lapland’s fells. The hillside yurt is best suited for two people.

Because we are a small company, we can provide more personal service and ensure that every guest’s visit becomes an unforgettable experience.

Sustainability is not just part of what we do – it’s the foundation of everything. As a small, local company in the heart of Arctic nature, we are deeply committed to protecting the environment around us. Every visit supports low-impact travel and responsible tourism.

We offer only eco-friendly experiences – such as marked hiking trails, wildlife-friendly practices, traditional wood-heated Finnish saunas, and activities designed to produce as little waste as possible. Our yurts are handmade in Mongolia from natural materials and built to withstand all seasons.

By choosing us, you don’t just enjoy a magical stay under the Northern Lights – you also support a greener future and a company that respects Lapland’s nature, people, and traditions.

All of our yurts are handmade in Mongolia. The traditional yurt of Mongolian nomads is a highly durable, long-lasting, and beautiful structure – and even today, more than half of Mongolians live in yurts year-round. A yurt stays warm during harsh winter frosts and comfortably cool in the heat of summer.

Each of our yurts has a diameter of about six meters and a standing height of around two meters. They are all crafted in Mongolia’s capital, Ulaanbaatar, with their quality ensured by an original nomad from the Gobi Desert.

Responsibility is about respect. When we respect nature, the environment, people, and cultures, we leave behind a positive impact.

In the yurt, you will feel as though you are in the middle of nature – like in a tent, but instead of camping, you’ll be staying in luxury. Our luxury yurts are furnished and decorated in a cozy, stylish way. Each yurt has its own unique interior design and style.
