@ 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

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.

Rosie
Exceptional service throughout the entire planning and booking process – travel agencies don’t get any better than this. A brilliant, seamless experience matched by the holiday experience itself. Would recommend ‘Off the Map Travel’ to anyone considering booking for a Nordic experience ‘par excellence’.
Chris
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
I used OTMT to organise a holiday to see the Northern Lights for my partner’s 50th birthday. They took the time to understand my priorities, the kinds of places we like to stay and the things we like to do. They recommended a fabulous itinerary in Norway centred around the Lyngen Experience Lodge. The holiday itself lived up to expectations and I have no hesitation in recommending OTMT. They listened carefully during the planning and delivered the perfect present for my partner.
Alex
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
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
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
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!
