The cabin we stayed in was fine and we had no problems at all. There were three of us in one cabin but it could have easily slept more – with just three it was very spacious, generous to say the least. I had a twin room to myself, we stored everything in the other twin and my niece and her boyfriend slept in t... + more

Overview: hotel description: Villa Armas Cabins description

The Villa Armas Cabins are excellent value, well-equipped, semi-detached log cabins which are all conveniently arranged next to each other in a peaceful area, making them an excellent choice for larger parties wanting to book cabins close to each other.

Cosy log cabins

One of the most authentic ways to see Finnish Lapland is to wake up in a warm and cosy log cabin. The cabins in Ylläs are a great place to stay as they are close to Äkäslompolo village where you can find plenty of cross-country ski tracks. The cabins are furnished with all the modern conveniences you'll need for a comfortable stay in the Arctic Circle, including a private sauna and fireplace, perfect for warming up after a snowmobile safari or reindeer sleigh ride. The cabins also have an equipped kitchenette, so you can eat in. There's an excellent, well-stocked supermarket in the village centre, along with cafes, shops, and restaurants. You'll also have the choice to upgrade to half board and enjoy meals at the nearby Äkäs Hotel.

Artic activities

Lapland is one of the best places in the world to witness the Northern Lights and staying in the Ylläs Log Cabins during the winter months provides an excellent opportunity to witness this natural phenomenon. The cabins are also a great base to enjoy our optional extra activities such as snowmobiling, reindeer and husky rides and snowshoeing. Plus after a day of exploring, you can unwind in your cabin's private sauna or warm up by the fireplace.

Check out our essential guide on what to expect when staying in a cabin in Lapland.

This gorgeous Lapland resort (pronounced “U-las”) has welcomed skiers since the 1930s and is the biggest of the 35 ski areas in Finland, home to the country’s longest slope, the 3km Jättipitkä run (which translates to ‘enormously long’!). The resort is split into two villages on either side of the region’s highest “fell” - a smooth mountain rising above the treeline. Both villages have remained true to their roots - Ylläsjärvi in the south and Äkäslompolo in the north – and both are authentic, b...
With 63km of downhill slopes, the skiing is fairly compact although over 300km of designated tracks make this one of the best cross-country destinations in the world. The uncrowded, perfectly groomed slopes are a beginner’s dream and make learning to ski a fun and relaxing experience. The ski schools meet on both sides of the mountain and speak excellent English with group lessons normally having small class sizes to give a personal feel. Early intermediates will love the wide, cruising runs which are perf...
Both villages are sleepy and traditional so while there are nice places to go for a drink, those looking for a European party scene might be somewhat disappointed. The focus is more on relaxation and entertainment away from the slopes of which there’s more than enough to keep all ages very happy. The Akäs hotel is most popular for a few drinks with a dance floor and club inside, while the restaurants in the resort serve all kinds of local delicacies – reindeer and freshly caught fish are both highly recommend...

"Clean & smart - good cross country skiing"

Richard Hampshire, Bristol
5/ out of 5
The cabin we stayed in was fine and we had no problems at all. There were three of us in one cabin but it could have easily slept more – with just three it was very spacious, generous to say the least. I had a twin room to myself, we stored everything in the other twin and my niece and her boyfriend slept in the Mezzanine. Everything inside was clean and smart and the drying facilities were adequate. The location was absolutely fine, you walk to the hotel to get the bus and it also takes about ten minutes (if you’re an active person) to walk into town to get your shopping. If you’ve had an energetic holiday, the walking around is not significant. When we were here in March, the roads had hard packed snow which does get slippery... this is no problem if you’ve got sensible walking boots but if you’re wearing ordinary town shoes you’d be at risk of falling and hurting yourself, so you do need a decent sole. We didn’t have to walk in ski boots much as we hired our gear separately each day (we mixed cross country and downhill skiing for the week) but the lifts wouldn’t be arduous to get to in ski boots. We self catered mostly and only ate out one or two times, the supermarket is adequate, not up to Waitrose standards but about the level you’d find in ASDA and I don’t remember anything being extortionately priced. You can use the facilities at the hotel and we were surprised how big the pool was. There are some other nice spots but we didn’t use them.
