Finland



 

 

For decades, an Arctic travel pioneer searched for the perfect spot to enjoy the Aurora Borealis. After years trying to adapt existing properties, he realised that he had to build from the ground up, and that’s how Octola was born.

In the middle of a 300ha private forest, the property has the perfect conditions to enjoy the Northern Lights, since there will be no artificial lights to disturb your experience. The innovative chalet is true to its origins and uses traditional materials with a modern approach. The Sámi architect who designed it drew inspiration from life in the Arctic to create this unique 10 room work of art. With a private chef and butler, this is Finland’s most luxurious property, in a natural sense, that is!
