Located near Rovaniemi, Finland, this secluded retreat blends rustic charm with Scandinavian sophistication.

Booking Sky Lodging means exclusive access to the entire retreat – a two-bedroom cottage, a sauna, and a private stretch of riverfront, all yours to enjoy. Unlike larger igloo resorts that cater to crowds, this intimate getaway guarantees total privacy and an uninterrupted connection with Lapland’s wilderness.

Despite its seclusion, Sky Lodging keeps you within reach of civilization. A short 25-minute drive from Rovaniemi, the capital of Finnish Lapland, it offers a great balance of solitude and convenience for travelers seeking a truly luxurious, off-the-grid adventure.

Sky Lodging offers an exclusive experience for up to four guests, making it ideal for couples, families, or close friends seeking a private Northern Lights adventure. Rates start at 800 EUR per night. Booking your stay is simple, and reservations can be made directly through Sky Lodging’s official website.

A thrilling way to explore the unknown
Passport and plane ticket

What is mystery travel? Mystery travel is a fairly new concept on my radar, but I’ve noticed its growing popularity over the past few years. More and more travelers are embracing the thrill of the unknown, letting someone else plan their trips while they sit back and enjoy the surprise. Airlines like SAS have even jumped on board with programs like Destination Unknown, where an entire aircraft filled with frequent flyer members embarks on a long flight to a surprise location – last year’s destination was Athens.

Curious to learn more about the rise of mystery travel and why people are drawn to these spontaneous adventures, I spoke with Lillian Rafson, Founder and CEO of Pack Up + Go, a travel agency specializing in surprise vacations. From hidden destinations to curated itineraries, mystery travel is quickly becoming a favorite way to explore the world without the stress of planning. Let’s dive into what mystery travel is and why it might be the most exciting way to book your next trip.
