This place is absolutely incredible! It was renovated late 2025 and the new restaurant etc is beautiful. The food is 10/10, staff amazing and the entire area and facilities are wonderful. Excellent activities available too and you can hire all winter clothing needed for free (if you come in winter). Also very close to Ivalo airport and easy access to Inari and Saariselka as well. Highly recommended!

Igloo was cozy and more spacious than I thought. The food in the restaurant was amazing (especially the vegetarian options). Staff were friendly and the sauna/jacuzzi in the snow was a highlight. Sadly no Northern Lights, there was a lot of activity that week but too much cloud cover. Would definitely recommend.

I had a late checkin due to flight limitations. Aurora hotel had a fresh salad, sandwich and dessert waiting for me 😮. Facilities are exceptional and a mile to downtown Ivalo. Tasteful decor, grounds are well maintained and keeping with the beauty of the land all blend well.

The Aurora Village is 10/5 stars! While a smaller resort (about 28 cabins), there is nothing lacking all but instead adds to the experience. The staff easily remember who you are and treat you like friends versus some guest...whether reception, guides, or the restaurant. I'd like to give special praise to Elena & Annamarija who helped me book everything months in advance. Also two guides: Ruta & Niek - for snowmobiling, snow shoe hiking and cross country skiing. The owner took a group of us on a scheduled night snowmobile trip and he's terrific person from that experience. The cabins were cozy, clean, and warm. The restaurant food was terrific (I'm kind of a picky eater too). The Aurora Village was the best!!!

Magical place

Amazing two nights. Relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. Used both of the saunas and they were great. The food was absolutely delicious. Did not see any northern lights due to cloud cover but other than that our stay was perfect. If I had to think of one tiny little negative thing it would be the breakfast. It was still in the top 10 of hotel breakfasts but I have had better. And the cabins need a rug in front of the door or something to clean the snow off your shoes because the area really gets wet.
