Join yoga teacher Petra Nilsson and Pilates instructor Maria Söderholm in Swedish Lapland. A unique retreat that combines experiences from the world's first Arctic luxury glamping site, Aurora Safari Camp in Gunnarsbyn, with Arctic Bath, a spa oasis of well-being and design, floating on the Lule River.

Aurora Safari Glamping, Ice Yoga by Petra, northern lights, meditation, breathwork, Ice Pilates by Maria, dog sledding, snowmobile safari, cross-country skiing, ice fishing, and sauna. On top of that, there are Arctic culinary experiences featuring ingredients from northern Sweden.

Aurora Safari Camp

Aurora Safari Camp is a real gem. It offers Arctic luxury glamping – the FIRST Arctic glamping site in the world and completely unique to northern Scandinavia. The camp is located on the Råne River in Swedish Lapland, was founded in 2013, and is run by Jonas Geijke and his wife Naila Sher. Here we experience a real Swedish winter adventure. The clear sky makes stargazing pure magic, AND here the fantastic northern lights dance across the sky for a real aurora experience!

We will be staying in Arctic Glamping tents and Lapland Cones. Full board is included – all food and drinks are included in the price of your retreat. We will have dinner in the Camp Lounge. Here you can enjoy a cozy snack over an open fire or have a drink before dinner is served. A must-do is to meet the Siberian Husky team and go dog sledding. AND we will do just that! We will also go on a half-day snowmobile safari out into the beautiful countryside. On this day, we will have lunch and coffee outside. You will have the opportunity to try a range of different activities, including ice yoga, ice Pilates, snowshoe expedition, cross-country skiing, fat biking, ice fishing, and sauna, or why not just take a walk on the frozen Råne River?

Arctic Bath

Arctic Bath in Harads has taken the world by storm. A completely unique spa hotel, there is nothing else like it. A floating building with inherent luxury and the luxury of tranquility under the Arctic Nordic sky.

2022 – named Innovation of the Year. Read the article. 

Each room has been designed with a consistent focus on comfort and luxury, while maintaining an overall focus on health. Natural, sustainable materials with a rich history, such as wood, stone, leather, and luxurious textiles, harmonize with Scandinavian design.

Arctic Bath SPA offers steam baths, dry saunas, river baths, and outdoor jacuzzis. You can book a delightful treatment from the SPA menu. How about:

* Facial ritual with cloudberries, blueberries, or lingonberries
* Body & Soul massage
* Deep tissue massage
* Arctic Steps

A peaceful sauna experience – Julevädno – is included in your retreat price. A mindful sauna experience that takes you through three different stages: Cleansing, Relaxation, and Clarity. Ends with a dip in the Lule River.

Arctic Bath Restaurant

The ethos of the restaurant at Arctic Bath is homemade, local, and sustainable. The dishes are based on local ingredients, while also incorporating traditional northern Swedish dishes with a modern twist.
