Aurora Hideaway Finland | 2-Bedroom Chalet with Hot Tub in Kittila

A luxury chalet rental in Kittilä, Finland means trading rush-hour traffic for reindeer herds and the Arctic silence that only Lapland offers. Aurora Hideaway Finland sits just 15 minutes from Levi’s slopes, positioned in Western Lapland’s authentic northern landscape where winter transforms the terrain into an otherworldly white expanse. This is where six guests discover what it feels like to wake to your own private herd of reindeer moving quietly through the snow-covered grounds.

Inside Aurora Hideaway Finland

Aurora Hideaway Finland sleeps 6 guests across 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, though the layout rewards thoughtful packing and closer family bonds. The ground floor houses the first bedroom with a king-size bed—practical for the primary guests or parents—while upstairs, the loft bedroom offers a king-size bed alongside two single beds, creating flexible sleeping arrangements for children or younger members of a larger group.

The main living space flows open-plan: kitchen, dining, and lounge occupy one generous area, preventing the cooking crew from feeling isolated during meal preparation. The kitchen itself is fully equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine, and wine cabinet—suggesting the architects understood that Arctic holidays still require proper hospitality. A clothes steamer, hairdryer, and thoughtfully stocked bath care products indicate attention to the practical comfort details that separate good accommodations from memorable ones.

The sauna and shower room—the genuine Finnish sauna, not an afterthought—connects directly to the main accommodation. Firewood is provided, and the working fireplace in the living area draws guests into its warmth on evenings when temperatures drop below minus 20 Celsius. A smart TV and sound system mean entertainment is available, though most guests find the telescope mounted indoors sufficient—pointed toward the Arctic sky where the Northern Lights perform their winter ballet.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The outdoor experience defines Aurora Hideaway Finland more than any interior detail. Your private yard contains the reindeer herd—genuinely part of the property, not a distant attraction. These animals become the morning’s first activity: meeting them on your own grounds costs nothing but quiet observation and the privilege of their company.

The hot tub sits outside, positioned to capture starlight directly overhead. There’s a specific magic to sinking into 40-degree water while the air temperature hovers at minus 15—your body warm, your breath visible, your eyes fixed on whatever celestial show arrives that evening. This is where guests stop scrolling their phones and start conversing with the people next to them.

The Lappish hut on the grounds extends the experience beyond the main chalet. This is where toasting marshmallows over a fire takes on ceremonial importance, where families gather for the kind of conversation that doesn’t happen around dining tables. Outdoor equipment storage means your toboggans, snowshoes, and sliding snowshoes remain organized and accessible—not strewn across a garage floor.

Parking is provided, and a heating pump ensures the property remains habitable through Lapland’s extreme winters. The private fell (fell being the Scandinavian term for mountain plateau) surrounding the property offers immediate access to untracked snow and silence.

Location: Kittilä and the Surrounding Area

Kittilä sits at the heart of Finnish Lapland, approximately 250 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, positioned in a region where winter darkness lasts from November through January and summer daylight persists nearly round-the-clock from May through July.
