History & Story
In this project, colleagues from the world’s leading luxury travel companies have helped us with contributions to design and ideas. OCTOLA, the first five-star Lodge in Lapland was built for frequent, global travelers accustomed to luxurious five-star hotels. Being accommodated in a wooden chalet is the essence of Lapland, providing the most authentic stay in the Arctic. We offer total privacy in our own secluded wilderness area and all the exciting outdoor Arctic activities are on your doorstep. Our wilderness guides, chef and butler ensure that all your requirements and wishes are attended to.
