About VALO Ice Cube Villas
There can’t be many hotels of any description much further north than VALO Ice Cube Villas, and certainly none more stylish. Here, in Finnish Lapland, 150 miles north of the Arctic Circle, stand four modern, cube-shaped villas, each one framing an impressive view of the landscape through panoramic windows. The interior style is Nordic modern-luxe, warmed by textures of wood, stone, and fur. They’re warm in a literal sense as well; jacuzzis, saunas, and indoor and outdoor fireplaces see to that. Thus it’s as fine a setting for viewing winter landscapes (and the Northern Lighs) as it is for summertime stargazing. Outside, winter guests ski Europe’s northernmost resort, or set out on snowmobile or dogsled safaris; summer is for hiking, biking, fishing, and experiencing the indigenous Sàmi culture.
