@ Arctic Retreat
Hidden deep within the forest beside the Råne River, Arctic Retreat is a secluded log cabin sanctuary where comfort meets the call of the wild. With just a handful of timber cabins, this off-grid haven invites you to disconnect from the ordinary and reconnect with nature on your terms. With Off the Map Travel, every stay is a bespoke experience, tailored to your pace, passions, and sense of adventure.
Why Stay at Arctic Retreat?
This isn’t simply a getaway, it’s a return to something essential. Whether you’re drawn by the crackle of firewood, the hush of falling snow, or the golden calm of summer light, Arctic Retreat delivers rare stillness and extraordinary moments. Every stay is a story shaped by you.
Where Stillness Meets Storytelling
Your cabin is just the beginning. At Arctic Retreat, we’ll work with you to design a personalised itinerary, from active Arctic adventures to mindful, slow-living rituals, crafted entirely around what moves you.
Expect:
- Cosy, private log cabins with wood-burning stoves and riverside hot tubs
- Tailor-made activities such as snowshoeing, canoeing, or husky sledding
- Locally inspired cuisine, prepared with seasonal ingredients and Sami flavours
- Unmatched access to silence and scenery, under the Northern Lights or Midnight Sun
Swedish Lapland, Your Way
Whether you crave stillness, movement, or a little of both, we’ll tailor your retreat to feel effortless and unforgettable.
Tailor-made experiences might include:
- Northern Lights viewings by dogsled, snowmobile or from your own hot tub
- Private husky safaris, designed to match your energy and experience
- Cultural encounters with Sami communities for meaningful local insight
- Summer forest bathing, wild swimming or guided canoe journeys through untouched wilderness

Hello Lucy!! Kim and I had a fantastic time in Iceland! Probably one of my top 3 trips I’ve ever taken!
It was everything we asked for and you did a wonderful job coordinating it all so beautifully!!
Thank you very much and we will contact you again when we get ready to plan our trip to Norway and Lapland!
Doreen
We did! Everything was truly wonderful! I think the Holman Husky Lodge was our favourite place. Beautiful accommodations, but best of all, wonderful people! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating, excellent food, we really enjoyed our time there. We also greatly enjoyed Bergen! Opus XVI was beautiful and we loved being able to walk to restaurants and bars and take in the sights. All of our drivers were punctual and friendly. The itinerary was full but not overfull.
Thank you so much! It was an epic trip, we are taking home wonderful memories!
Shelly
Well-organized trip to Norway and Svalbard with great accommodations and activities. Gwen was communicative and responsive to requests. Highly recommend!
Russell Snook
Fantastic trip to Svalbard which delivered the true Arctic experience we were hoping for. The hotels were excellent and the activities – dog sledding and snowmobile expedition were lead by first class guides.
Top tip! The champagne tasting in the world’s most northerly wine cellar in the exceptional Funken Lodge is not to be missed!
Faith
Amy planned a fantastic trip! Everything was very well-thought out. All transfers went smoothly, accommodations were amazing, great restaurant recommendations and the tours were once-in-a-lifetime, can’t book it yourself off the internet experiences. The guides were all fantastic. Communications were prompt and everything worked exactly the way it was supposed to. What a pleasure! Already working on our next trip.

I would thoroughly recommend this company. Their planning and advice was spot on. Alex responded to my calls and emails very promptly. I will definitely use them again for future trips.
Rosie
Off the Map Travel was great! Alex helped us plan the most amazing 10 day honeymoon to Iceland. He gave us great recommendations and was so patient with us during the planning process!
Tori
What an amazing trip we are having. It is incredible. Many many thanks for arranging such an incredible trip.
Giles
We have loved it so much here that we have extended our stay and will come back to Bjornfjell and stay in one of their cabins until Jan 3 then we are staying in the igloo hotel the night of the 3rd. 😊We added a few excursions this week – we did the whale trip on the RIB boat (wow!), toured the igloo hotel (which is why we decided to book the last night!) and did the reindeer sleigh at Sorrisniva. You were so right, the bonfire excursion was incredible!!It has been an absolutely amazing trip!
Kristen
We – the whole family – loved the whole journey!!
The accommodations, the activities and especially the great people – thank you very much for this fantastic organisation !!!
Barbara
We really enjoyed our Norwegian adventure despite the -22 days! Unfortunately no real experience of viewing the Lights but we did capture a couple of images on our last night – too much cloud otherwise so lots of snow. We really enjoyed the husky lodge – not at all what we had tentatively imagined. Thanks for your assistance, maybe next time we will see the Lights in all their glory.
Andrew
Arctic Retreat was simply magical. Graham and his team were superb. Their entire focus was on ensuring we had an outstanding experience. The accommodation, setting and food were all excellent. The team, experienced professionals, each brought their own personal touch and local nuance. It was faultless. The dog sledging trip directly from Arctic Retreat was also superb. We would return to Arctic Retreat in a heartbeat.
