The Hot & Cold Retreat

The Hot  & Cold Retreat

Step into the meeting point of seasons.

Our Hot & Cold Retreat is a limited edition three-night experience crafted for those who want to feel the Arctic’s contrasts: the lingering depth of winter and the first breath of spring, the bite of cold air against the comfort of warmth, the stillness of snowfields and the pull of brighter days ahead.

March in Lapland is alive with tension and change. The ice still holds the lakes, yet water stirs beneath. The air stays sharp, yet the sun lingers longer on your skin. It is a season of renewal, where opposites meet and create something new. At Skýra, we invite you to explore this edge and embrace the vitality it brings.

To bring this theme to life, we have curated experiences that let you fully inhabit these contrasts. From the deep heat of a Northern Heat Massage to the stark stillness of Ice Fishing on Lake Norvajärvi, each moment invites you to feel the balance of opposites. A curated day out gives you space to choose your adventure, whether a slow exploration of Rovaniemi with a private driver or a guided outdoor experience from our winter menu.

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
