Why choose a log cabin with a hot tub in Lapland?

Planning a holiday in Finnish Lapland? Staying in a log cabin with hot tub can make your trip extra memorable. After a day full of winter adventures, there’s nothing quite like stepping into a steaming tub, surrounded by snow and silence, with a view of the stars or even the Northern Lights above.

What makes it special?

• Privacy: You have your own tub right in your yard. No shared spa, no noise.
• Comfort: The heat helps relax your body and mind after outdoor activities.
• Atmosphere: Enjoy the contrast of hot water and cold Arctic air in complete peace.

Choose your style: traditional or jacuzzi

At Napapiirin Järvilomat, most of our cabins come with the option to add a traditional Finnish hot tub. It’s an authentic wood-fired experience that you can heat yourself or have ready on arrival. Some of our newest cabins include a jacuzzi-style outdoor tub already built in, ready to use at any time.

Tips for using the hot tub in Lapland

To make the most of your hot tub experience in Lapland, a few simple tips can go a long way. First, always wear a warm hat while in the tub, even though your body is immersed in hot water, your head is still exposed to cold Arctic air, and you can lose a lot of body heat that way.

It’s also important to stay well hydrated, as hot water can dehydrate your body more than you might expect. And don’t forget to plan ahead: heating a traditional wood-fired hot tub takes several hours, so reservations should be made early, ideally in the morning or even the day before.

• Wear a warm hat in the hot tub to prevent heat loss from your head
• Book your hot tub in advance. Heating must begin 4-6 hours before use
• Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated while enjoying the hot tub

Perfect all year round

While hot tubs are especially popular in winter, they’re also wonderful in autumn during the colorful ruska season, or even in early spring when the sun begins to return. It’s an experience that adds comfort and luxury to your nature holiday.

More than just relaxation

A hot tub in Lapland isn’t just about warming up. It can also be part of a wellness routine. The heat soothes sore muscles after outdoor activities like skiing or hiking, and the quiet natural surroundings help reduce stress. For couples, it’s a romantic end to the day. For families, it’s a chance to connect and share a moment of calm.

Part of the Lapland lifestyle

In Finnish Lapland, slowing down and enjoying nature is part of daily life. Staying in a log cabin with a hot tub gives you the chance to live like a local: peacefully, simply, and close to nature. Whether you’re sipping hot drinks under the stars or watching snow fall from your warm tub, it’s a moment of pure Arctic magic. 

Final tip

When searching for your perfect Lapland holiday cabin, keep an eye out for those that include a hot tub. It turns an ordinary stay into a magical one.
