The Midnight Sun never truly fades. Hidden among pristine forests and crystal-clear lakes, Sameland Retreat is a private Arctic hideaway where time slows and nature sets the rhythm. Our ten exclusive Mirror Glass Cabins blend seamlessly into the landscape, offering an intimate escape designed for those who seek privacy, stillness and meaningful moments.
Reconnect with yourself, the people you love and the beauty of the Nordic summer—where endless daylight, fresh Arctic air and untouched wilderness become the greatest luxury.
Step 01 — Accommodation
Mirror Glass Cabins
Two mirror-glass sanctuaries — same silence, different view.
Cabin 01
Arctic Lake View Cabin
An Arctic lake stretches to the horizon — shimmering in the long Nordic light, still and clear, reflecting the endless summer sky. Floor-to-ceiling glass puts you at the centre of it all. In summer, the sun barely sets — and the light that remains is unlike anything else on earth. Step onto your private deck, breathe in the warm forest air and let the stillness do its work.
Ancient pines surround you on every side — green, alive with birdsong, seemingly endless. Floor-to-ceiling glass brings the Lapland forest directly into your cabin, where light filters through the trees at angles that change by the hour. Your private deck opens straight into the wilderness — trails, lakeshores and long golden evenings begin at your door.
Curated encounters with the Arctic — pick what stirs you.
Experience 01
Arctic Spa – Jacuzzi & Sauna
Start with the warmth of our outdoor Jacuzzi, sink into the sauna, then cool down straight in the lake. A quiet, restorative rhythm that belongs entirely to this corner of the world. Right here at the retreat, no booking needed.
Cast your line from the lakeshore or a quiet rowing boat on one of Lapland's pristine Arctic lakes. A slow, peaceful day on the water — surrounded by forest, birdsong and the kind of stillness that only exists this far north.
Step straight out of your cabin and onto trails that wind through ancient Lapland forest. In the evening, walk under the midnight sun — the sky warm and golden long after the rest of the world has gone to sleep.
Visit our husky farm and meet the dogs up close — learn about their lives, their training and their deep bond with the people of Lapland. A gentle, personal experience.
Lace up your boots and head into the Lapland wilderness — with a husky by your side. Guided trekking tours through ancient forest and along lakeshores.
Glide across the mirror-still surface of an Arctic lake on a stand-up paddleboard — surrounded by forest, open sky and a silence that stretches to the horizon.
Paddle across glassy Arctic lakes by kayak — surrounded by forest, open sky and the kind of silence that only exists this far north. Guided tours available for all levels.
Rent a mountain bike directly at the retreat and explore the trails at your own pace — through forest tracks, open terrain and riversides that only reveal themselves in summer.
A glass-walled outdoor padel court set deep in the Lapland forest — a fast, social racket sport played in doubles on an enclosed court, easy to pick up for beginners and engaging for seasoned players. Play a few sets under the endless summer light, surrounded by pines, birdsong and the long golden evenings of the Arctic north. Suitable for all ages and skill levels; equipment available at the retreat.
Exchange vows under the midnight sun, celebrate around the open fire at Jay Jay's, or bring your team together in the heart of the Arctic wilderness. Our team takes care of every detail.
Our favourite place — and once you've been, yours too. Local Lapland ingredients take centre stage: game from the region, Arctic catches, wild berries and Sami culinary traditions brought together by our team of chefs.
Our chefs cook with live fire and local ingredients — game from the region, Arctic catches, forest berries — creating dishes that could only exist up here. The fire isn't decoration. It's the method.
As the Arctic sun stretches golden across the lake, our outdoor deck becomes the most sought-after spot at the retreat. Drinks in hand, forest all around — evenings here have a way of lasting longer than planned.
Sameland Retreat was born from a simple vision: to create a place where luxury is defined not by excess, but by space, silence and a genuine connection with nature. Hidden among the pristine forests and crystal-clear lakes, our ten exclusive Mirror Glass Cabins offer an experience unlike any other.
Although the retreat feels wonderfully secluded, you're only minutes from Arvidsjaur's airport, restaurants, shops and local life. It is a rare place where complete tranquillity and modern convenience exist side by side — allowing you to disconnect from everyday life.
Here, time slows down. Days are shaped by the rhythm of nature, and evenings end beneath star-filled skies and, if you're lucky, the dancing Northern Lights. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to create a place where you can breathe deeply, reconnect with nature and rediscover what truly matters.
“
A place where people can step away from the noise of everyday life, reconnect with themselves, with the people they love and with nature. My greatest wish is that every guest leaves with something they cannot pack in a suitcase: a calmer mind, renewed energy and memories that stay with them long after they return home. If Sameland Retreat gives you even a small piece of that, then we have achieved everything we dreamed of. Welcome home.
