Just a handful of guest rooms ensure an exclusive experience
Surrounded by the frozen sea during the winter months - perfect for exploring by snowmobile or hovercraft
Try regional delicacies as you relax by the large open fire
Discover the vast fields of pack ice in the Luleå Archipelago
On the coast of the Luleå Archipelago in Swedish Lapland lies Pine Bay Lodge. With just eight guest rooms, a stay here will provide an exclusive Lappish experience like no other.
Built in the traditional Swedish red cottage style and, in winter, surrounded by the frozen sea, Pine Bay Lodge offers a warm and welcoming retreat from the cold. All of the guest rooms are spacious and comfortable, and each has en-suite facilities. A real home away from home, the communal area of Pine Bay Lodge is an open-plan lounge and dining room, complete with an open fire, which makes for a great spot for an evening drink with regional delicacies or for swapping stories of the Arctic with your fellow travellers. For those looking to really unwind, Pine Bay Lodge even has its own sauna - the perfect place to relax after a day out in the Lappish wilderness.
Pine Bay Lodge's fantastic location is the star attraction here. The Luleå Archipelago is comprised of around 1300 islands, is home to just 100 residents, and during winter the sea can freeze up to one metre deep. This makes for some truly one-of-a-kind excursions out in this unique landscape. Try snowmobiling out to the furthest islands in the archipelago, or for a real adrenaline rush, explore the frozen sea in a hovercraft! You'll come across huge masses of ice, 250-year old fishing villages, and maybe even some of the local wildlife.
