Brändön Lodge is an intimate Arctic retreat run by two cousins, Göran Widén and Johan Björklund. They grew up locally and consequently have a deep understanding of the local landscape. The property is a 35-minute drive away from Luleå, the largest city in Swedish Lapland. It’s a charming drive to the coast which overlooks the Bay of Bothnia and the islands surrounding Luleå.
The property has 15 cabins, saunas and tepee tents. It’s a charming, remote setting from which to explore the coast and the fastness of Swedish Lapland. You can choose from a range of activities in the winter months, including island hopping and the Pack Ice Snowmobile Safari.
Each of the cabins faces the sea. The design has a classic Scandi vibe. You can opt for self-catering or full-board options. The property has a restaurant and a living room with a roaring fire. There’s very little light pollution so it’s an optimal location from which to view the Northern Lights. Seeing them reflected on the surface of the icy sea is a truly spectacular experience.
