The perfect place to watch the Northern Lights
Yurt District is a welcoming, unique place to stay in the nature of Finnish Lapland next to the beautiful river. They offer a peaceful retreat far from city lights — yet just 20 minutes from the Rovaniemi city center. Their small, local company creates a warm and personal atmosphere where every guest is treated like family.
Surrounded by open skies and untouched nature, it’s the perfect spot to witness the Northern Lights, unwind in a traditional Finnish sauna, soak in a hot outdoor jacuzzi, or gather by an open-fire BBQ under the stars. With comfort, sustainability, and authenticity at our core, your stay with us is more than accommodation — it’s a true Lapland experience.
With them, you don’t need to go chasing the Northern Lights — we can make the whole area completely dark. There are no nearby lights, and the auroras can be seen directly from the yurt.
