Sonka – Opening December 2025

Location

In Rovaniemi, the only true city on the Arctic Circle, Sonka enjoys a rare position — close to the Arctic Circle’s exact latitude (66° 33′ 43″ N) yet surrounded by panoramic lake views. Spanning 15 hectares, Sonka is the largest fully private resort in the region, ensuring unmatched space and privacy for just 20 exclusive accommodations. Set within a private valley with 600 meters of untouched shoreline, you’ll witness the full spectacle of Arctic light — from summer’s midnight sun to winter’s silent Northern Lights. Every moment unfolds in privacy, with the forest and lake as your constant companions.

Experience

At Sonka, every stay is tailored to you. Choose between a handcrafted mirrored cabin or a grand lakeside villa — each with sweeping views of the lake and surrounding forest. Interiors are designed to enhance both space and seclusion, while every unit is a smart home with climate control, lighting, and curtains at your fingertips. An in-room Aurora alert system from Arctic GM ensures you never miss the Northern Lights. Indoors, a private cinema with projector and screen creates the perfect setting for cosy evenings.

Our 24/7 reception team is always at your service, curating memorable experiences from Aurora chases to igloo sauna rituals, invigorating ice baths, and traditional kota barbeques beneath the northern sky. Complimentary chauffeured transfers in brand-new 2025 Ford Transit Tourneo 4x4 vehicles are included, featuring premium leather interiors, exceptional comfort, and all-terrain capability — the same luxury fleet trusted by Arctic GM for its expeditions. On-site EV charging is provided, and complimentary airport pickup and drop-off from Rovaniemi Airport is always included in your stay.

A place to slow down. To breathe. To be.
