Opening for winter 2026, Arcora Boutique Hotel & Villas is an elegant new retreat in Muonio, on the edge of Finland's spectacular Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park. Inspired by the ever-changing character of Lapland's eight seasons, the property pairs contemporary Nordic design with exceptional dining, a rooftop infinity pool and an immersive collection of Arctic experiences. Choose from stylish hotel suites or spacious private villas, all perfectly positioned for exploring one of Finnish Lapland's most untouched wilderness areas. With excellent opportunities to witness the Northern Lights right on your doorstep, Arcora provides a luxurious base for discovering the magic of the Arctic.
Eat
Dining centres around Restaurant 8, where menus are inspired by Lapland's eight distinct seasons and showcase high-quality Nordic ingredients. The hotel's Lobby Bar & Bakery serves artisan breads, freshly baked pastries, light lunches and afternoon tea, making it a welcoming spot throughout the day. For pre-dinner drinks or a celebratory evening, Champagne Bar Pyry offers a carefully curated champagne selection in an intimate setting overlooking the surrounding forest. Together, the hotel's dining venues provide a varied collection of experiences, from casual daytime dining to refined Arctic-inspired cuisine.
Sleep
Arcora offers 42 Boutique Suites alongside a collection of private Sky Villas and Deluxe Villas. Junior Suites sleep up to four guests and can be connected for families travelling together, while Executive Suites feature separate living areas, private saunas and bathtubs. The Sky Villas provide additional privacy, with floor-to-ceiling windows designed to showcase the surrounding wilderness, while selected villa categories also feature private outdoor jacuzzis. Throughout the property, interiors follow a contemporary Scandinavian style, with natural materials and large windows helping connect guests to the Arctic landscape beyond.
Do
One of Arcora's standout features is its wellness area – rooted in Finnish tradition – which includes a spa with three saunas, a heated rooftop infinity pool, outdoor hot tub, gym and treatment rooms. The hotel also offers a range of Arctic experiences that change with the seasons, allowing guests to explore the surrounding wilderness throughout the year. Its location beside Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park makes it particularly well placed for outdoor activities such as husky safaris, snowmobiling, ice fishing and exploring the protected wilderness of the national park on snowshoes. Meanwhile, Muonio's dark skies provide excellent opportunities for Northern Lights viewing during the winter months. After a day outdoors, the spa facilities provide the perfect place to relax while taking in views across Lapland's forests and fells.
