The Most Exclusive Lodge In Lapland
Having hunted for the right place to accommodate the discerning guests of our Luxury Action travel company, I eventually realized the the right property did not exists in the right location. That’s when I decided the only option was to build our very own log chalet. Traditionally, we have managed or rented private chalets in various locations around Lapland, then refurnished them to meet the individual standards of our guests.
As fun and instructive this concept has been, implementing interior design on a one-by-one basis fis costly and time consuming. In addition, regardless of our efforts to upgrade the existing chalets in Lapland, although of excellent quality, tend to have very small rooms and only a few properties have en-suite bedrooms with shower and toilet. I felt it was time for a revolutional change to provide exclusive accommodation in the Arctic that meets the needs of our experiential guests.

Relaxed & in touch with pure nature
At OCTOLA I want you to feel relaxed and in touch with pure nature. I’m offering guests a unique kind of health spa for the spirit, where you can leave behind the stress of the day to day world, and savour the healing qualities of Lapland’s stunningly beautiful natural environment.
I’d like to extend a very warm welcome to your Lapland home-from-home, passionately conceived and realised according to the style of Lapp and Sámi tradition. From the beginning, I wanted the contribution of a Sámi architect, who understood my philosophy of ”new luxury”. OCTOLA’s shape is derived from traditional Lapp ’laavu’ buildings, that in the past used to provide shelter for the people living the nomadic lifestyle.
Part of my philosophy of luxury in Lapland is to be secluded, far from the crowds, and to be at one with nature, but with access to every conceivable private service and comfort. It is in such a place that I find inspiration and relaxation. It is my wish that this is where you will find them also.
