Brändön Lodge occupies a stunning position on the coast north of Luleå, surrounded by snow-laden pines and overlooking the frozen islands of the Bothnian archipelago. Its 15 wooden cabins offer understated Scandinavian comfort, with two bedrooms, a snug living area with a kitchenette, en-suite bathroom facilities and windows that capture the ever-shifting Arctic light. The layout works beautifully for families, while couples will appreciate the privacy and quiet of each stand-alone cabin. At the centre of the property, the main lodge houses a warmly lit restaurant where seasonal Arctic cuisine takes centre stage – expect expertly prepared whitefish, moose, reindeer and wild berry desserts influenced by local Sami traditions. A lounge with a crackling fire provides a welcoming gathering point after days spent exploring.
Relaxation comes naturally here, with bookable private sauna sessions and outdoor hot tub experiences overlooking the frozen sea. For those seeking to get out into the pristine nature surrounding the lodge, expert guides lead a superb collection of winter adventures, from husky sledding and snowmobiling to Nordic winter-skills sessions and evening aurora hunts. Small-scale, personal and wonderfully peaceful, Brändön Lodge offers both families and couples a beautifully immersive stay in Swedish Lapland.
