Skýra Retreat

Skýra Retreat will be closed for the season from April to October.

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.

Wellbeing Collection:
At the edge of the world, this Finnish Lapland retreat helps you get truly centred

There is no silence as perfect as the silence that greets you when you’re surrounded by the purity of the Arctic Circle. It’s profoundly different, uniquely uplifting and thrillingly invigorating to teeter at the edge of the world. This intimate spa, outside Rovaniemi, interprets that elemental release with its own brand of raw luxury that bows respectfully to the stillness and subtle power of Lapland. The attentive team responds to the rhythm you dictate, helping you discover how this ethereal landscape can cancel the noise-pollution in your head and remind you how to soften and slow down. So apart from the daily yoga classes and effective massages, you will begin to appreciate the intensity of flavours from food you’ve foraged under the midnight sun.

While in winter, you’ll surprise yourself by relishing moving from the searing heat of the sauna to the icy darkness of a dip in a hole cut into the frozen lake. You’ll learn how in Finnish folklore the sauna is the conduit between the physical, emotional and spiritual and your brain will hit the brake during breathwork sessions where a violinist creates a soulful immersive soundscape. Skyra specialises in experiences that create the necessary external environment for you to regulate and reconnect with the internal you.

Food And Drinks

The restaurant at Skýra Retreat is set inside the pine-lined gymnasium of the Old Schoolhouse. With basketball hoops replaced by glittering chandeliers, this is a space full of atmosphere, echoing with history and inviting guests to write new stories of their own. And the a la carte menus follow suit, crafting staple Nordic ingredients using classic French techniques. The dining experience is intimate, cosy and rooted in the same concept of nourishment for mind, body and soul that echoes throughout the Retreat. Expect the purest of natural ingredients, prepared with real flair and joyful celebration.

Pinehall Restaurant

Served Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Set in a restored 1950s schoolhouse - an intimate 30-seat restaurant serves table-served Nordic breakfasts- light lunches - pullakahvit coffee and pastry breaks and refined French-Nordic dinners.

Spa

At Skýra Retreat, peace lies in balance, so it naturally follows that their exceptional Nordic Spa marries warmth with cold. Guests are invited to awaken their senses, embracing high contrast thermal cycles: intense heat and chilling sensations encouraging deeper connection to the body, and ushering in the deepest relaxation. Unlimited access to the spa is available to all guests, but be sure to book a private treatment, such as the Herbal Embrace which combines massage with an oil blend including meadowsweet, calendula and rose.
