Wilderness Hotel Nellim & Igloos

Located in Lapland's wilderness, the accommodation provides a cozy stay with stunning views and amenities. The staff is exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere and organized activities.

We booked an Adventure week through Discover The World in early March 2025, and while not cheap, it was worth every penny, and simply the best holiday we have ever had! The hotel was beautiful, clean and very warm, and the buffet style food was very varied and extremely good. The staff were all lovely and the guides exceptional, particularly Gabor who deserves a mention for his enthusiasm, information about the area, wildlife and particularly the Aurora hunting! We were lucky enough to see fantastic Aurora displays every night of our stay, and they are truly magical. We had a log cabin with sauna for six nights and an aurora cabin for the last night. Both were clean, warm and comfortable, but the log cabin was better equipped and much more spacious for a longer stay, and the sauna was wonderful to have to relax in after a day of the extremely cold outdoors. The temperature ranged from -5 to -29 while we were there, so a good base layer of merino wool, plus two or three extra layers on top and fleece lined winter walking trousers were a good addition to the padded overalls, boots and mittens that are provided. Good gloves with silk liners, woolen hat, fleeced neck tubes and balaclava are also necessary, with ski goggles good for husky sledging and snowmobiling. I can highly recommend this holiday for anyone wanting something different and a fairly active time.
