Beana Laponia - Wilderness Boutique Hotel with Safaris

L’hôtel, un lodge en bois magnifique, est tres beau et très confortable, le sauna très apprécié ! Nous avons été très bien accueillis par un personnel parlant français pour certaines. C’est agréable d’être au milieu de la nature, dans la forêt enneigée, de pouvoir aller se balader directement au pied de l’hôtel, et de faire les activités au départ de l’hôtel. Les activités étaient très bien avec des guides Toni et Vincent très sympas. Le chien de traîneau et la pêche au trou sont inoubliables. Raquettes, ski et combinaisons/bottes de neige sont prêtées. Le petit déjeuner est très bon, de même que les repas. Un des chefs fait de la cuisine gastronomique. Vu l’absence de choix, ce serait sympa d’avoir une petite carte snacking qu’on pourrait prendre si on n’est pas fan du menu du jour. Si on pouvait améliorer quelque chose, ce serait d’éteindre l’illumination du chalet, afin que, quand on est dans sa chambre tout feu éteint, on puisse voir le ciel, pour le cas où une aurore surviendrait. Hélas, pas cette semaine à cause des nuages, mais nous reviendrons !

Hôtel très cosy et de nombreuses balades magnifiques ( à pied, en raquettes ou en ski ) à faire à partir de l hôtel . Excursion chien de traîneaux magique ! Guides extra Personnel adorable et aux petits soins . Sauna très agréable également 3 jours magiques .

My partner and I had the most amazing 5 day break at this hotel at the end of March, from the moment we arrived until the moment we left the experience was fantastic, the staff were extremely professional and friendly and the food was sensational! The activities and the guides were also great, nice small groups mean it’s a really personal experience - we had such a wonderful time snow mobiling and on the husky safari. The location is beautiful! We were also so lucky to see the northern lights in all their glory just outside the hotel. The staff are great, they were kind enough to let us know when we were eating dinner that the lights had appeared! We really recommend this hotel, and will definitely be back in the future!

My friends and I have just returned from a 4 night stay at Beana Laponia and we absolutely loved every minute! The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly, the rooms are superb (there were 3 of us so we had the junior suite which has its own sauna) and the food is amazing. The hotel provide all the outdoor gear you need, from boots and socks to snowsuits and mittens - they've thought of everything! There's a cosy bar where you can relax with a coffee or drink, and we booked the outdoor hot tub which was fabulous and included the private use of the sauna and indoor hot tub. Our experience included a dog sledding trip, a visit to a reindeer farm, a snowshoe walk and a snowmobiling trip which were all amazing. It was truly a magical experience and we hope to return one day.

What an amazing little place. Everything is perfect with so much attention to detail. We stayed three nights and loved the authentic feel with the freedom to roam around the property and easily find our own adventure (sledding down a hill in the forest, walking across the frozen lake to the nearby village) but also had an extensive choice of activities on offer, too. We loved the husky ride and the snowmobiles (we stopped to see the reindeer in the forest). Also did the spa/outdoor hot tub. I recommend it all. Room was really nice, food was delicious and the staff were always friendly and helpful.

I stumbled across Beana Laponia’s impressive five stars on trip advisor, got intrigued, and ended up choosing to stay with them based off of their top notch reviews. Their reputation is well deserved. Off the beaten path, you get an authentic Lapland experience that is personalized and without the gaggle of surrounding tourists. Agree with all reviews Laponia day is a MUST. Don’t worry, they supply all the winter gear you need down to the socks (we would know as our airline lost our luggage) and no experience or athletic ability is necessary. The Secret of the Reindeer was our other highlight experience. Irene and her husband are like ambassadors, we walked away feeling so much more connected to Lapland, its history, and its people. Later on our trip, a local guide at Arctic SnowHotel commented on how he thought Secret of the Reindeer was the second best experience you could do while visiting Lapland. It’s that meaningful. You get more than what you pay for here. We will be coming back!
