Arctic Retreat

On our exploratory trip to Sweden in 2007 we visited the community of Boden in Swedish Lapland and discovered a region where genuine hospitality and passionate locals, with a pride in their heritage and surroundings, excel even the best holiday to a higher level. Over a decade later and we continue to promote this destination of forests, river valleys and rapids. Today we are pleased to offer the Arctic Retreat, an authentic, owner-managed luxury lodge surrounded by unspoiled nature. 

The property comprises four traditional log cabins on the edge of the Råne river renovated with the utmost attention to detail. Floor to ceiling windows allow natural light to flood into your private space and cosy nooks and unique furnishing add a sense of place and home. In the winter your roaring wood-burning fire will brighten the dark nights, and in the summer the ever-changing light of the midnight sun can be enjoyed.

Perfect for a romantic escape or for families looking for an exclusive break.

Accommodation:

• Four log cabins all facing the Råne river. You can book one cabin or reserve the whole retreat (4 cabins - up to 15 beds) for exclusive use including your own private chef.

Amenities / Leisure:

• 'Getronosan' restaurant - Full Board included (breakfast, lunch and 3-course dinner excluding drinks), serving Swedish style home cooking. The food is a set menu for each day based on seasonal availability. Dietary requirements are catered for with advance notification.
• Aurora hut, set away from artificial light and offering a great vantage point for seeing the northern lights
• Free use of wood fired sauna in a separate building (reserve locally)
• Surrounded by the unspoiled landscape of the Råne river valley
