The hotel has two restaurants: Wildwoods, serving Lappish cuisine with local ingredients, and Aurora Grill, offering Arctic grills and pizzas. Both are on-site, so you can enjoy a meal without leaving the resort. For a change of scene, the scheduled shuttle can take you to Rovaniemi city centre, where you'll find a range of dining options. The hotel's bar is also a good spot for a drink after dinner. Since the resort is set in the forest, planning meals around the shuttle schedule is practical.
The resort sits in the Arctic forest on the banks of Lake Palojärvi, about 40 km from Rovaniemi city centre, so the setting is quiet and nature-focused. You are surrounded by birch forest and open sky, ideal for spotting the Northern Lights in winter. The nearest bus stop, Palosalmi, is about 2.9 km away, and the city's main sights like Arktikum and Lordi's Square are roughly 28 km off, so a car or the hotel's shuttle is the practical way to reach them. The hotel's own bar and restaurant, including Wildwoods, keep dining close at hand. For a taste of the city, the shuttle to Rovaniemi centre and Santa Claus Village makes day trips easy.
From Rovaniemi Airport, the resort offers complimentary transfers all year round; book online up to 48 hours before arrival. From the train station, there are no direct transfers, but you can take a 15-minute walk to the city centre pick-up point at Maakuntakatu 29–31 and book the shuttle from there. The scheduled shuttle also runs to the city centre and Santa Claus Village. Alternatively, a taxi or pre-booked private transfer from the airport or station is straightforward, as the resort is about 40 minutes from the airport and 50 minutes by car from the train station. The nearest bus stop, Palosalmi, is about 2.9 km away, so a car or transfer is most practical.
Evenings at Aito Igloo & Spa Resort are about the Arctic night itself. The resort sits on Lake Palojärvi, a great spot for watching the Northern Lights in winter, and the Aurora Nest glass igloo boat lets you take in the sky from the water. Back at the resort, the Aurora Grill serves Arctic grills and comfort food, and the Arctic Spa Centre with its saunas and hot tubs is a natural way to unwind. The city sights, like Lordi's Square and Culture House Korundi, are about 28 km away, so plan to stay on site or book a shuttle to town for an evening out. The resort's own bar is also there for a quiet nightcap.
Aito Igloo & Spa Resort is a peaceful forest base, but the main Rovaniemi sights are far away: Arktikum Arboretum is 28 km, Lordi's Square 28.5 km, and Santa Claus Village 32.2 km. The resort's scheduled shuttle runs to the city centre and Santa Claus Village, making those trips easy. For exploring further, a car or pre-booked transfer is the practical way to reach the sights. The hotel's own restaurant and bar are right there for meals, and the surrounding forest and lake offer a quiet retreat after a day out. It works best if you plan your excursions around the shuttle schedule.
