Property info
The Mirror Houses at Sonka Resort are special for their unique architecture, privacy, and close connection to Arctic nature. Designed with a mirrored glass exterior, each cabin blends into the surrounding forest while offering guests a wide, uninterrupted view of the frozen lake and open sky. During the day, the mirrored surface ensures full privacy, and at night guests can relax with the feeling of being alone in nature.
Inside, the design is minimal, warm, and carefully thought out. Light wood, wooden floors, and soft lighting create a cozy atmosphere that contrasts beautifully with the winter landscape outside. The double bed is positioned directly in front of the glass wall, allowing guests to wake up to snow-covered views and, on clear nights, watch the northern lights from inside the cabin. Many guests mention this as one of the most memorable parts of their stay.
Although compact, each Mirror House is fully equipped for comfort. Guests appreciate the private bathroom with shower and heated towel rack, a small kitchenette with fridge, microwave, and coffee machine, free high-speed Wi-Fi, and a cinema-style projector screen for quiet evenings indoors. The space feels uncluttered and calm, with everything needed and nothing unnecessary.
Each cabin also has a large private terrace facing the lake, giving guests space to step outside, enjoy the fresh air, and take in the silence of Lapland. A breakfast box delivered to the door every morning is another favorite feature, allowing days to start slowly and peacefully.
Access to shared resort amenities such as the bookable lakeside sauna and traditional grill huts (Kotas) adds to the experience. Guests often describe the Mirror Houses as private, peaceful, and deeply relaxing — a modern Arctic hideaway where design, comfort, and nature come together naturally.
Neighborhood info
Sonka Resort is located in a quiet lakeside area surrounded by forest, offering guests a peaceful retreat away from crowds while still being well connected to Lapland’s main attractions. The neighbourhood is known for its silence, clean air, and open winter landscapes, making it especially popular with guests who want to experience the natural side of Finland.
Guests love the direct access to the frozen lake and forest paths, perfect for walks, photography, and watching the northern lights away from city light pollution. Reindeer are often seen moving through the area, adding to the feeling of being in real, everyday Lapland rather than a tourist zone.
Despite the calm setting, the resort is only about 30 minutes from Rovaniemi. Santa Claus Village, a local supermarket, and the city center are easily reached, giving guests access to restaurants, cafés, museums, and shopping. Popular nearby attractions include Santa Claus Village, Arktikum Science Museum, and seasonal winter activities such as husky safaris, reindeer farms, and snowmobile tours.
The neighbourhood offers the best of both worlds: deep nature and privacy, combined with easy access to Lapland’s most famous sights.
