Arctic River Resort, hotel in Ivalo

This Finnish Lapland holiday village is situated right by the Ivalo River. It offers double rooms, holiday cottages, a caravan area, summer cottages and a camping area.

The location at the frozen river was very beautiful. The staff was exceptionally helpful, the guide Tomas was extra kind and most surprisingly he speaks excellent Slovak:) We rented cross-country skis directly at the property and explored the forests and area around which was a breathtaking experience. It is not too far (walking/skiing) to Ivalo city where you can do grocery shopping if you need or buy souvenirs.

    Ivalo is not big, but it is strategically positioned between Rovaniemi and Inari. Amazing location to admire the northern lights and visit Inari. Nature is incredible and it looks less touristy than Rovaniemi.

    Best place to view Northern lights.

    Best place to view Northern lights. Unique Husky ride , and snow mobile tours. Winter sports like skiing , cross country , snow walking. Dreamy Winter Wonderland landscape ! Everything covered in snow is a picture perfect view . Stay in a Glass Igloo cabin to view Northern lights ( weather permitted) Renting a car is highly recommended , easy to get around even on an icy road . We used Alamo . Excellent car . Book all your tours in advance to avoid disappointment . Have fun and enjoy the cold . Be prepare to bring thermal clothing . Ivalo is a perfect Winter Wonderland Destination !

    Ivalo is a quiet place for nature and sport lovers. A great place to take a rest from busy life and see SNOW in time of climate change. The shops in the centre offer everything you may need and even far in the forest your mobile will still get the signal.

    We enjoyed watching the northern lights in the outskirts of the city ... Dont expect the colorful northern lights as you see it in the photos and videos in the Internet , mostly it will be in white color only... Ivalo Hotel club nord and northerlightsriders.fi arrange the best tours which we hired. They showed us the lights in the better places around Ivalo and inari... Apart from norther lights, snowmobile, skiing and other sports activities are available but we did not try those things.

    Ivalo town as a tourist attraction might not have too much to offer, however, I was going to Inari and spending time there, hence, Ivalo was optimal for accommodation. It is great that the little town has all services needed and several places for grocery shopping. Also good bus connection.

    Ivalo is small but includes some lovely nature trails which are lit in winter and have useful information boards. The supermarket sells fabulous camping kit- such well designed and well made things we don't have at home like collapsible silicon sandwich boxes. And lovely wooden cutlery.

    More than 5 Stars! Petteri is definitely the best Host that we ever had! Great Apartment with amazing Location directly to the Forest! Very, very, very friendly and helpful Host. We made an Snowmobile- and Aurora-Tour with Petteri which was both fantastic as well! Also the Transfer from Airport to Appartment and back was really good. Even a few days before we arrived Petteri contacted us regarding the Aurora Forecast. That shows that Petteri tryes everything to make his Guests happy. We will come back as soon as possible!

    Very nice location by the lake and close to another lake. Ivalo is 10 minutes away by car. Loved the forest, wonderful autumn colors, as the ruska season was in full bloom. Accommodation was spacious, with everything you need. Also a thank you note to the host, who at check-in asked what would I like to do during the holiday, and when I mentioned photography she searched few northern lights books that I could borrow for inspiration. Was a good choice, as there were couple of nights when the Northern Lights showed up.

    Location: 300 meters from the bus station, close to many outdoor activities companies, supermarket is right across the road, close to the Ivalo river. Apartment: just perfect, with everything you might need for longer stays as well, a super comfortable sitting room and fully equipped kitchen. Check-in: very smooth and we arrived during holiday (owners were not there). Owners: very kind and available since the day we booked, they also helped us managing one of our outdoor activity with a local company.

    Cozy, clean, and comfortable. It had the necessary items to refrigerate, eat microwaved meals, and had a kettle for hot drinks. The check-in and check-out method was seamless. The location is ideal - 6 minutes from the airport, 5 minutes from Ivalo, and within 30 minutes to Saariselka and Inari. P.S. - You only need to drive a few minutes north of Ivalo to see a spectacular showing of the Northern Lights. Definitely a great deal for the price.

    The room (for 3 people) was spacious, clean and newly renovated. The hotel spa had nice sauna and jacuzzi. Also it was amazing that you can take a dip in River Ivalo straight from the sauna! Breakfast was fresh and diverse. We also dined in the hotel restaurant where the local cuisine was great. All staff members were very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!

    Exceptional location, amazing staff, so helpful. A family-run business and Nangu surely must be the jewel in the hotel group. Only stayed one night (sadly) in our Finland tour before we flew back to London and what a way to end our holiday. Thank you to Essi and her team. We will return.

    Very nice spot, in the middle of the forest, near by a lake. The cottage was very comfy, cleaned, well equiped and very big for 2 people. The perfect quiet place but you need a car. Parking place in front of the cottage. Ivalo is 10 minutes away by car.
