Sonka – Opening November 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. Whether you choose a handcrafted mirrored cabin or a grand lakeside villa, every accommodation offers perfect views of both the lake and surrounding forest, with layouts designed to maximise your sense of space and seclusion. Each space is a smart home, equipped with climate control, lighting, and curtains at your fingertips, along with an in-room Aurora alert system so you never miss the Northern Lights. All units feature a private outdoor jacuzzi on the terrace — perfectly positioned for year-round relaxation under the stars with panoramic lake views — and a cinema-style setup with projector and screen for cosy evenings indoors.

The Sonka Concierge Team and 24/7 reception are always available to arrange memorable moments — from Aurora chases to igloo sauna sessions, invigorating ice baths, and traditional kota barbeques under the stars. Complimentary guest transport is provided in brand-new 2025 Ford Transit Tourneo 4x4 vehicles, offering premium leather interiors, exceptional comfort, and all-terrain capability — the same luxury fleet operated by Arctic GM for its high-end Arctic expeditions. On-site EV charging is also available for guests arriving by electric car. For those flying in, Rovaniemi Airport is just a short transfer away, included in your stay.

Here, silence is a luxury, service is an art, and every detail is designed to exceed expectations.
