Discover Santa Breaks in Levi
In Levi, the magic doesn’t wait until Christmas morning. This lively Lapland resort combines festive adventures with cosy cafés, welcoming restaurants and plenty of places to browse between snowy outings.
At the heart of every Santa Break is a half-day visit to the enchanting Elves Hideaway, where Christmas feels wonderfully real. Travel through a magical "flying" elevator to Santa's secret hideaway, meet him during a private family visit, explore his workshop and share moments you'll be talking about long after the decorations come down.
The festive fun continues throughout Elves Hideaway. Meet Santa's reindeer with the elves, bake gingerbread, create Christmas crafts at Elf School and search for hidden goblins around the mysterious Seita Stone cave.
Little ones will love the playful elf encounters, while snow tubing adds an extra dose of excitement. There's also time to pick up a special souvenir from the festive gift shop before heading back to Levi.
When you're not meeting Santa, Levi offers plenty to enjoy. Wander through the resort's shops, cafés and restaurants, relax with a pre-booked visit to Levi Spa Waterworld, or head out on one of our optional excursions.
Whether you're here for magical moments with Santa, snowy adventures or a little bit of both, Levi delivers the kind of Christmas story you'll be talking about long after the snow has melted.
