@ 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.

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.

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
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
Amy was a great help with planning this trip. Our trip turned out amazing. I also was very grateful for Off the Map’s Front Desk service, which promptly handled an on the spot issue we had.
Karen
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
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.
George
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
We originally hired Off the Map Travel in 2020 to set up a trip to see the Northern Lights. That didn’t happen, thanks to COVID. But, we persisted and in March of 2023, we took a 16-day trip that included both Iceland and Norway. IT WAS MAGICAL! Off the Map took care of everything! We were pampered at every stage of our trip. The people they hired and the activities they planned added up to a trip that will set the standard for any we’ll ever take in the future. Alex and his team were fabulous! We recommend them without restraint!
Jim & Kris
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 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
The best travel experience ever on every level you can think of during a Lapland expedition (food, activities, timings, accommodation, transport, service, equipment…). I highly recommend Off The Map Travel for their outstanding level of professionalism and detail oriented mindset!
