Romantic Lapland holidays

Step off the plane and into the glistening white snow under a starry night sky and start your romantic getaway to Lapland.

There is so much that makes Lapland one of the most romantic destinations you can visit as a couple.

Spend your days soaking in the majestic wildlife that roam the tree-lined frozen lakes or make the most of Finland's love for Saunas and enjoy a spa day.

Choose to spend the evenings wrapped up warm together in front of the fire in your cosy cabin for two or stare at the never-ending stars in the night sky (possibly with a glimpse of the Northern Lights).

Romantic ways to spend the day

There is something special about the peaceful surroundings in Lapland, no more so than when gliding through the scenery on a horse or husky drawn sleigh. Cuddle up together under a blanket and soak up the beautiful sights - from majestic, snow laden trees, ice covered lakes to the mesmerising Northern Lights above.

Book a unique experience for you and your partner and visit the Ice Village & Hotel. This mesmerising village provides the perfect setting for a romantic day out - wander through the lit up ice sculptures and ice-wall art as you make your way to the Ice Hotel. Here you can either enjoy the ice bar with your drinks served from ice glasses or dine in the amazingly ice sculpted restaurant.

The Finnish love a Sauna and you will find them at nearly every hotel, apartment or log cabin. Why not spend the day relaxing together at a hotel spa and make the most of all the great facilities on offer. There are plenty of hotels with amazing spa facilities across the 4 resorts of Lapland. We highly recommend Yllas Saaga Spa Hotel and Levi Hotel Spa, both perfect for a full spa day offering facilities such as multiple swimming pools, saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs.

Guide Lapland Lapland For Couples 2

When to visit Lapland on a couples holiday

Lapland certainly feels like a romantic destination in the winter, however there are certain times of year that make a holiday here feel extra special.

Choose to visit at Christmas and enjoy a cosy, calm escape together with festive feasts, Christmas markets and town centres glowing with lights and Christmas themed decorations to enjoy.

New Year's Eve adds a touch of romance to your trip to Lapland - enjoy a firework display like no other, and perhaps nature's own natural light display of the Northern Lights. A midnight kiss under the skies of Lapland will be one to remember.

There is also something quite special about visiting Lapland in February, the ideal escape for Valentines or to make a birthday extra special. A true place for romance, where you enjoy delicious candlelit dinners, relaxing and quiet saunas and beds that lay beneath a canopy of stars.
