The Grand Opening Retreat

The Grand Opening Retreat

Step into Skýra as it opens its doors for the very first time. Our Grand Opening Retreat is a limited edition two-night celebration of new beginnings, crafted for those who wish to be part of the first chapter of Skýra’s story.

December in Lapland carries a rare stillness. The snow blankets the land, softening its edges, while firelight and the quiet keep the darkness gentle. This retreat is our way of honoring that season: a chance to look back at the year behind us, to celebrate the work and journeys that brought us here, and to welcome what lies ahead.

To mark this moment of our Grand Opening, we have added special touches that make this retreat unique. These include a Quiet Mind Massage for each guest, designed to release deep tension in the head, neck, and shoulders, and a Creative Writing Workshop for each booking, offering a reflective space to capture your thoughts and intentions. Along with a welcoming glass of seasonal drinks and a welcome gift, every detail is chosen to help you celebrate this milestone with warmth, gratitude, and meaning.

Your days follow the natural rhythm of Skýra: table served Nordic breakfasts, awakening morning yoga, and guided forest bath sessions, balanced with time for yourself in your private suite or villa. By afternoon, the Finnish ritual of Pullakahvit — coffee and fresh pastries — invites you to pause. While evenings bring Folklore Sauna Sessions and thermal spa cycles at the Nordic Spa. To end the day, a meditative sound bath lulls you into restful sleep.

  • Accommodation of your choice: from Grande Suites to restored Teacher’s Chambers to Log Suites or the Private Lakeside Villa
