A message from Octola’s Founder:

“At Octola, I want you to feel relaxed and in touch with pure nature. I’m offering guests a unique health spa for the spirit, so you can leave the stress of the everyday world behind and savour the healing qualities of Lapland’s stunningly beautiful natural environment. And to make it even more miraculous, you can enjoy the magnificent northern lights visible for 200+ days. 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, in the past used to provide shelter for people with nomadic lifestyles. Part of my philosophy of luxury in Lapland is to be secluded, far from the crowd, to be at one with nature, but with access to every conceivable private service and comfort. It is in such a place I find inspiration and relaxation. I hope you also will unlock the secrets of OCTOLA and find the same.”
