Embrace elemental balance in the wilds of Finnish Lapland
Tucked beside the icy waters of Lake Norvajärvi, surrounded by whispering pines and dancing northern skies, Skýra Retreat is shaped by nature. Here, Lapland’s elemental beauty is your constant companion: frozen lake vistas in winter, soft sun in summer, and the ever-present hush of the boreal forest. Life at Skýra is rooted in the principle of raw luxury – true rest, escape from overwhelm – a return to yourself, and the things that really matter in a life well lived.

Log walls, natural stone and tactile textiles create an atmosphere that is both grounding and refined. Choose from grand suites, housed within the Old Schoolhouse, cosy A-frame cabins with forest views, elegant apartments which once housed the school’s teachers, or a gem of lakeside villa – complete with private sauna and ice hole for plunging.
Skýra Retreat excels at curating the perfect escape, with a range of monthly experiences on offer. These vary in their focus, from wellness to embracing seasonal shifts – and many are based around the hotel’s exceptional Nordic Spa. You might find yourself enjoying a Nordic breakfast, before morning yoga or guided forest bathing, followed by the Finnish afternoon ritual of pullakahvit (coffee and fresh pastries.) Evenings bring Folklore Sauna Sessions and thermal cycles at the Nordic Spa, before your day ends with a meditative sound bath.
Enjoy your stay!
