Glass Resort: Story of Craft and Calm

In the stillness of Lapland’s Arctic forest, where the air is the purest on Earth and the sky tells ancient stories in light, lies a place where nature, design, and craftsmanship meet in harmony.

Glass Resort was born from the land — its forms inspired by the traditional Sámi kota, its spirit shaped by the seasons, its essence drawn from the wilderness just beyond your doorstep. Every detail is crafted with care, every experience shaped with purpose. From architecture to hospitality, cuisine to comfort, quality guides everything we do.

As a family-owned resort, our values are rooted in warmth, authenticity, and a deep respect for nature. We welcome each guest as we would a friend; with thoughtfulness, time, and genuine presence.

Guided by Nature, Driven by Care

Glass Resort is a reflection of its owners’ lifelong bond with the Arctic wilderness. Their love for Lapland’s landscapes is not only visible in the architecture and materials, it is felt in the atmosphere. In the stillness, the simplicity, the space to breathe. – Our guests love the forest around, the peacefulness that gives a chance to relax and take deep breaths of fresh air – to seize the moment, says Glass Resort owner, mr. Petri Palkinen.

This heartfelt connection to nature is matched by a sincere care for every guest. From the moment you arrive, you’ll sense it, not just in the service, but in the small, thoughtful gestures. Whether it’s a tailored experience, a quiet recommendation, or simply the time we take to listen, we believe true luxury is personal.

A Story of Growth, Built on Gratitude

Glass Resort first opened its doors for the 2017 winter season, with just 14 unique glass apartments nestled in the snowy silence of the Arctic Circle. Encouraged by the warm reception from our first guests, we expanded a year later adding 10 more apartments, along with the main building and service facilities that now form the heart of the resort.

In 2022, we introduced the Premium Lodge, a private retreat designed for families and small groups seeking spacious luxury with a deep connection to the surrounding nature. In 2024, the resort grew once more with the addition of three Deluxe Apartments, offering even more room to relax under the northern sky.

Throughout this journey, we have been humbled and inspired by the feedback from our guests. Your words, experiences, and stories have helped shape the way we grow. We are deeply grateful for the trust, encouragement, and loyalty that have allowed us to evolve while staying true to our roots.

Here, modern luxury meets timeless silence. Warmth and wonder flow through every moment — whether you’re watching the northern lights from your bed, sipping your favorite drink, or stepping barefoot into the snow from your private outdoor Hot Spring Spa.

This is not just a place to stay, it is a place to be.
