Glass-topped igloos are being highlighted as a unique travel experience, offering guests the chance to watch the night sky from a cosy setting. While some are located in the far north, providing opportunities to see the aurora borealis, these unusual stays can also be found in other parts of Europe, including Germany and Spain.
Many igloo interiors feature a Nordic theme with elements like underfloor heating, faux fur throws, and panoramic windows designed for stargazing. In Nordic locations, these stays may also offer access to local experiences such as husky and reindeer sledding, cold-water swimming, or geothermal spas.
Condé Nast Traveller has selected various igloo listings, vetting them based on factors including Superhost status, ratings, amenities, location, and previous guest reviews. Editor's picks include a luxury igloo in Finnish Lapland for its location, a hand-built igloo in Kiruna, Sweden, for couples, and a cosy igloo in Rovaniemi, Finland, for families.
