Endless daylight
The almost total darkness is actually a short period of time in Finnish winter. In spring time the days are long and filled with light. In summer we are fortunate to enjoy endless daylight. Kemi in Sea Lapland is a great place to witness the iconic natural phenomena – the Midnight sun.
Feel the White Night Magic
Stay the night in our Seaside Glass Villas with floor-to-ceiling windows that let in the surrounding nature. Glass roof enables the natural light to fill the room with sunshine even during the night time. But do not worry, we will make sure you will get a good night sleep anyway.
The Northern Light season starts in Sea Lapland already in late August. Lying in the bed you can enjoy the sky view through the glass ceiling. The stars, moon and possibly the Aurora Borealis will be the nature´s show to our honoured guests.
