@ Glass Resort
Glass Resort lies in a tranquil forest enclave near the heart of the Arctic Circle, just minutes from the festive village of Rovaniemi. Designed to immerse you in Lapland’s pristine wilderness, each glass-fronted apartment frames the shimmering sky and landscape beyond, offering a rare blend of silence, comfort and spectacle.
The architecture blends Scandinavian minimalism with Northern tradition. Floor-to-ceiling windows, private saunas, heated outdoor hot-spring spas and soft natural furnishings create a refined and intimate atmosphere. Whether you arrive in the crisp hush of winter or the endless light of summer, you’ll find a place that feels both deeply rooted and elegantly modern.
Redefining Luxury in Finnish Lapland
- Private Northern Lights excursions by snowmobile or husky ride
- Snowshoeing or cross-country skiing in forest terrain
- Midnight-sun hikes in summer followed by lakeside bonfires
- Private boat trips to explore arctic waterways and remote islands

Why Stay at Glass Resort?
Glass Resort offers a singular Arctic experience. It gives you front row seats to nature’s grand gestures—from aurora dances to silent snowfall, while offering all the luxury, warmth and service of a design-led retreat. Its location near Rovaniemi ensures access and ease, while the setting preserves a feeling of departure from the everyday. Choose this resort if you want more than a stay—if you want a memory carved by moonlight, snow and sky.
Your Lapland Retreat, Your Way
Here, luxury is defined not by grandeur but by peace, perspective and the shape of your own pace. Whether you wake to find the aurora swirling overhead from your bed, or spend the day drifting in a hot-spring spa under pale winter light, your stay unfolds entirely around you. At Glass Resort you steer the narrative—whether of adventure, quiet reflection, or simply extraordinary stillness.

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
What an amazing trip we are having. It is incredible. Many many thanks for arranging such an incredible trip.
Giles
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.

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
My family and I traveled to Sweden to see The Northern Lights in March of 2023. From the planning process to every detail of the trip, I could not have been more pleased with our experience. Alex was exceptional to work with. His guidance on the time of year, where to stay, activities to do and how to get to and from everything was spot on. I have never used a tour company before but thought a trip of this kind would be easier with some help. I am so glad that I did. The entire week was seamless and completely stress-free, allowing us to truly enjoy Sweden and our time together as a family. I will be recommending Off The Map travel to friends and family and will certainly be using them myself again in the future.
Emily
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
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
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
Well-organized trip to Norway and Svalbard with great accommodations and activities. Gwen was communicative and responsive to requests. Highly recommend!
Russell Snook
The ease of everything stood out to me. All we had to do was be there at the right time. The dog sledding was the highlight for my daughter and sister. We had the best time! For me, Manshausen was the highlight. We were very lucky and the only guests there for the majority of our stay. The staff was amazing and the food was so delicious. We had moose steak and it was the best meal I’ve ever had.
The cabins were comfortable and we were so lucky to have 2 clear nights where we just sat and watched the northern lights. We were able to get some awesome pictures too.
I appreciate all your time and care with planning our trip! I won’t hesitate to use Off the Map travel for our next adventure.
