In the charming border town of Övertorneå, surrounded by peaceful nature yet just steps from shops and everyday conveniences, Matarengi Lodge offers the perfect balance for a stress-free holiday in the north. 

This hotel combines modern Scandinavian design with Explore the North’s heartfelt philosophy: ‘come as a guest and leave as a friend’. With 45 comfortable double rooms spread over three floors — including connecting rooms ideal for families — they welcome couples looking for tranquility as warmly as families wanting space and flexibility. Everything is under one roof, making your stay smooth and effortless.

After a day of exploring the landscapes of Heart of Lapland, perhaps walking the forest trails of nearby Isovaara, relax in the spa area with two traditional saunas, a warm relaxation pool, and a small gym. In the evening, gather in the lounge bar or enjoy a generous dinner in the spacious restaurant, where the flavours of the Arctic meet European comfort.

Open all year round, Matarengi Lodge is an easy and welcoming base for discovering authentic Arctic life, without crowds, without stress, and with space to simply breathe. Whether you come as a couple seeking quiet moments or as a family creating lifelong memories, you’ll find warmth, comfort, and connection.
