Following some years of testing and development, guests will be able to stay this winter in an Arctic igloo inspired bubble on the banks of an Arctic River.

The Ice & Light Village can be found near the Arctic Circle on the banks of the Kalix River in Swedish Lapland.

The cabins have been built to offer guests the perfect setting from which to experience Arctic nature as the windows in the walls and roof allow guest to connect with the wilderness around them.

The cabin, including an outside area, has then been contained inside a heated bubble.

The concept comes from Maarit Lindvall who started developing the project three years ago with her nice, Emma Strömberg, an architect from Gothenburg.

They wanted to create the best private and relaxing space to connect with Arctic nature, but not sacrifice comfort.

The cabins are completely self-contained and can be moved to the spot for guests to experience Arctic nature.

This winter they will be housed on the banks of the Kalix River which freezes and provides the perfect spot for wildlife watching and Northern Lights hunting.

A stay at one of the five Ice & Light double cabins includes a fridge stocked with local food for a breakfast.

Local restaurants, including one owned by a former Swedish master chef finalist, allow guests to experience local cuisine.
