LEVI · SCANDINAVIA
Levin Iglut sits on the slope of a fell at 340 metres, ten kilometres from the centre of Levi.
Why I recommend it
Levin Iglut sits on the slope of a fell at 340 metres, ten kilometres from the centre of Levi. The igloos face out from the hillside, and the supplier builds them in glass — the property describes the igloos, Restaurant Utsu and the kota teepee as all glass built with a 360 panoramic view.
What makes it worth a conversation is that the twenty-seven igloos are not interchangeable. Three Suite igloos run to 53 square metres with a private terrace, an outdoor hot tub and illuminated northern lights in the lounge ceiling. Nine Prime Superior igloos sit in the front row or immediately behind it, four facing the valley and five facing the forest. Fifteen Superior igloos sit on the side of the fell with an unobstructed view of the sky. They are all 23 square metres apart from the Suites, and which one suits you depends on who is travelling.
An aurora alert is included with every night, alongside breakfast, WiFi, bed linen, towels and the departure cleaning. The property publishes a northern-lights season running from the end of August to the beginning of April. Nobody can promise you the aurora, and we do not.
Best for
The honest fit
The four valley-side Prime Superior igloos take two people and cannot take an extra bed at all. If you are travelling with a child, the Suite, forest-side Prime Superior and Superior igloos are the ones built for two adults and two children — worth saying plainly, because the valley-facing front row is the one most people picture.
Transfers are not included in the room. They are private and sold separately, from Kittilä Airport or from any of fourteen other pick-up points. That is different from some Lapland properties, where a transfer is bundled into the package, and it is worth budgeting for rather than discovering.
The Northern Lights House is a separate self-contained house rather than an igloo. It is built partly underground with landscape windows, has its own sauna and outdoor hot tub, and asks for a minimum of two nights. It is not a glass-roofed igloo and should not be booked expecting one.
The property books activities on your behalf and runs private tours, but the pack we hold does not set out an excursion programme of its own. If a specific husky, reindeer or snowmobile day matters to your trip, tell us and we will confirm it with the property before you commit.
Where you stay
Twenty-seven igloos in four products. Three Suite igloos (53 m², private terrace, outdoor hot tub, illuminated northern lights in the lounge ceiling); four Prime Superior facing the valley (23 m², two people, no extra bed); five Prime Superior facing the forest and fifteen Superior (23 m², two adults and two children). Breakfast and an aurora alert are included with all of them.

Eating & drinking
Eighty seats over two floors, Scandinavian cooking built on local produce. The upstairs seatings are under the restaurant's own glass roof (17.00, 17.30 or 20.30, November to April); other times between 18.00 and 20.00 are downstairs by the open fireplace. Vegetarian, vegan and halal dishes available.

Time at the property
The glass is the product. The igloos, the restaurant and the kota teepee are all glass built, and the Superior igloos are positioned on the side of the fell for an unobstructed view of the sky. Suite igloos add a private terrace, an outdoor hot tub and illuminated northern lights in the ceiling of the lounge area.
An aurora alert comes with every night. The property publishes its northern-lights season as the end of August to the beginning of April.
There is a separate private sauna with its own outdoor jacuzzi, booked in advance as a two-hour slot for one to four people. Restaurant Utsu seats eighty over two floors, serves Scandinavian cooking built on local produce, and offers vegetarian, vegan and halal dishes. A kota teepee is available for a private dinner for two, subject to availability and not over Christmas and New Year.

Planning your trip
The igloo hotel is on the slope of a fell at a height of 340 metres. The centre of Levi is ten kilometres away, and the property describes it as one of the most popular holiday destinations in Lapland with services that complement its own — their assessment of the town, recorded as theirs.
Transfers are private and pre-booked, from Kittilä Airport and from fourteen other points across Lapland and northern Sweden. We confirm timings with the property.
Check-in is from 16:00 and check-out is at 11:00. The property’s operating year runs from late August to the end of April.
Kittilä Airport is the arrival point the property transfers from, and it also runs transfers to the igloos from Levi village, Köngäs, Ylläsjärvi and Äkäslompolo, Kolari train station, Rovaniemi, Luosto, Lainio, Harriniva, Jeris, Saariselkä, Ivalo, Kilpisjärvi, Inari and Jukkasjärvi in Sweden.
Every transfer is private and we arrange it for you. We confirm the timing with the property against your flights.
Consultant tip
Two nights minimum if the Northern Lights House is what you want — the property requires it.
The upstairs seatings at Restaurant Utsu are under the restaurant’s own glass roof, at 17.00, 17.30 or 20.30 from November to April. If you want to eat under glass rather than only sleep under it, ask for upstairs when you book, because the downstairs seatings by the open fireplace run at different times.
The separate sauna and outdoor jacuzzi is booked as a private two-hour slot for one to four people — 9-11, 12-14, 15-17 or 18-20. It is not a walk-in facility, so book it with the room.
One honest line: the northern lights are a natural phenomenon and can’t be guaranteed — they depend on solar activity and cloud cover on the night. What we can promise is the planning: the right place, the right nights, and a stay built to give you the best possible chance.
Your consultant
We hold a contract with Levin Iglut directly, so your enquiry goes to the property through a relationship rather than a booking screen, and it is handled end to end by a Mykish consultant with our 24-hour response promise.
Because the igloo types differ in who they sleep and what they look out at, we will tell you which of the four we would put you in and why — including when the cheaper room is the better room for your trip.

Kittilä Airport. The property runs private transfers from there to the igloos, we arrange yours, and we confirm the timing with the property against your flight times.
No. Nobody can guarantee the aurora, and we never will. What the property does publish is a northern-lights season running from the end of August to the beginning of April, and an aurora alert is included with every night so you are woken if they appear.
