Octola Private Wilderness & Spa
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 Private Wilderness & Spa in Lapland was built for frequent, global travelers accustomed to luxurious five-star
accommodation. Being accommodated in a wooden chalet is the essence of Lapland, providing the most authentic stay in the Arctic. Octola offers total privacy in it´s own secluded wilderness area and all the exciting outdoor Arctic activities are on your doorstep. The wilderness guides, chef and butler ensure that all your requirements and wishes are attended to. In fact, Octola is the most exclusive five- star luxury accommodation in Lapland, Finland and Arctic region with its own private wilderness and wildlife. Octola Private Wilderness is comprised of a stunning architect-designed 10-suite log cabin, the brand new 2 bedroomed ‘super suite’ Villa, a Northern Lights glass cabin, and Private Spa & Health Clinic. The Spa and Health Clinic were conceived and constructed in line with this sustainable approach. Wellness,massage and treatment room facilities are also part of the Spa. Two sauna options are available: a cozy log-lined indoor steam room and an enchanting outdoor winter sauna built from beautifully illuminated ice blocks. There is also two indoor pools, a separate, compact cabin for fireside relaxation and yoga sessions.
