The Davvi Arctic Lodge is a charming, simple hotel set on a quiet, secluded hillside in the border-village of Karesuando. The beautiful restaurant, its circular design inspired by the shape of a Sami reindeer corral, is the hotel’s centrepiece and from here you can enjoy panoramic views over the snow-covered hillside to Swedish Lapland located just across the border.
Deep in the heart of True Lapland, and located on the offical Northern Lights route, Karesuando offers once-in-life-time Arctic experiences without the crowds. For those looking to stay in the Swedish side of the village we also offer Northern Light stays at the Arctic Star hotel.
What a wonderful experience! The cabin was warm and cosy, very clean and spacious. The main hotel was a short walk away but also very welcoming. The staff were so kind, friendly and helpful at all times... Would I stay at the Davvi? Yes, no hesitation.

The deluxe room is perfect for two.

The room is located in the grounds of the hotel and accessed via a lobby shared with just one other room. Please note maximum 2 adults per room.
The superior room offers spacious, contemporary design and is the largest room type available. Our favourite feature within this designer room is certainly the comfortable seating area with a feature LED Fire. Whilst the room is designed for two, additional beds can be added if required.
