“Staying at Hideout Villas in Finnish Lapland was like stepping into another world. The villa was amazing—proper Nordic luxury—with super comfy bedrooms, an open-plan living area with a roaring fire, a sauna, even an outdoor jacuzzi. We pride ourselves on being a “foodie” family, and our expectations were far exceeded. We had private chefs cooking mouthwatering local produce like reindeer steak and cloudberries, which we all became a bit obsessed with (we even cleared out Helsinki Airport’s supply of cloudberry jam).
The activities were out of this world. Our nine-year-old, Lana, absolutely fell in love with Jingle the Elf and was in floods of tears when we left. Seeing the Northern Lights in the middle of a frozen forest, steering a husky sled, meeting the real Father Christmas (it must’ve been him), and ice fishing followed by a barbecue in a traditional Finnish hut—these were moments we’ll never forget.
What really made the trip special, though, was the staff. They were so friendly and laid-back but couldn’t do enough for you. They provided everything—snowsuits, amazing snow boots, and even luxury Mercedes vehicles to get around in—so we always felt safe and comfortable, even in -30°C. The kids were in heaven, playing in the snow, tobogganing, and building snowmen with Jingle.
If you’re thinking about a family trip to Lapland, Hideout Villas is the one. The service, the food, the activities—it’s all on another level. An experience you and your kids will remember forever.
