Ylläs Log Cabins (Santa Breaks), Yllas, Finland / Lapland

The Ylläs Log Cabins are located in various areas around Akaslompolo, typically between 500 and 1500 metres from the Äkäs Hotel and the nearest ski bus stop (around a 5 to 30 minute walk), depending on the cabin's location.

The large village supermarket is up to 1 kilometre from the cabins (around a 5 to 30 minute walk). There's also a selection of cafés and restaurants for those who prefer to dine out.

The ski slopes and ski school are approximately 3 kilometres away. The ski bus stops just outside the Äkäs Hotel. You’ll also find a number of excellent cross-country ski trails beginning nearby.

For guests with reduced mobility, we recommend the Villa Armas Cabins, which are situated closer to the resort amenities including the Akas Hotel.

Add a touch of festive magic to your Santa Break with a stay in our cosy Ylläs Log Cabins. Located beneath the snow covered trees in the enchanting village of Äkäslompolo, these traditional log cabins combine rustic charm with modern comfort, making them the perfect winter hideaway for your unforgettable Christmas break.

Wake up to a magical blanket of snow and enjoy the warmth of your own private sauna and fireplace after a day of Arctic adventures. Each cabin is unique - from classic pine logs to modern finishes - and includes fully equipped kitchens, perfect for self-catering. Whether you're close to the village centre or nestled deep in the peaceful forest, the stunning wilderness views are unforgettable. The cabins range from around 250-1500 metres (five to 30 minutes walk) to the main excursion meeting point at the Akas Hotel, which is near the centre of the village. Unplug completely and reconnect with nature – no Wi-Fi means no distractions, just the peace and magic of the Lapland wilderness.

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 the hues of greens, purples and reds lighting up the dark night sky. The cabins are 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 by the fireplace.
