Travelling with children often creates slightly different expectations and needs for the destination. A kid-friendly place that is easy to get to and has plenty of things to do on site to keep children entertained is usually the way to go, and in this article we have compiled our best tips for vacationing with children at Santa’s Hotels.
Rovaniemi & Santa’s Hotel Santa Claus
One of the most popular characters in childhood, Santa Claus, can be found in Rovaniemi all year round. Santa Claus Village at the Arctic Circle has become a versatile and popular tourist area, where both the youngest and older Christmas lovers in the family can enjoy themselves. The city also has museums, playgrounds, outdoor areas and many other things to see and experience, so the vacation days in the city will pass quickly – in all seasons, in all weathers. Our hotel in Rovaniemi city centre, Santa’s Hotel Santa Claus, welcomes the whole family to rest between the fun-filled days.
Luosto & Santa’s Hotel Aurora
If you are looking for child-friendly slopes for skiers who are still learning, check out the ski resort located on the slopes of the Luosto fell. Luosto does not have the hustle and bustle of large resorts, so you can ski peacefully on compact and clear slopes. For the youngest skiers and beginners, the resort has a separate family slope, where you can practice safely before the bigger hills. Santa’s Hotel Aurora is located right next to the ski resort, and it only takes minutes to walk from the hotel door to the ski lifts. After a day of skiing you might want to warm up in the sauna, and luckily each hotel room in Aurora has one.
Kalajoki & Santa’s Resort & Spa Hotel Sani
In Sani, a water lover spends their dream vacation! Our hotel is connected to the SaniFani spa, which welcomes swimmers all year round. In the summer season, you can also enjoy the waves in the pools and the speed of the slides outdoors, as the local water park Jukupark is next door to our hotel. And don’t forget the sea and stunning sandy beaches right next door, so especially in the summer Kalajoki is a favourite for anyone who enjoys being in the water. At Santa’s Resort & Spa Hotel Sani, you can comfortably stay in either hotel rooms or well-equipped apartments right by the beach, resting and recharging between days full of splashes.
Santa’s Hotel Tunturi & Saariselkä
If you have a little more adventurous spirit in your family, Saariselkä and Finland’s longest sledging hill will bring some speed to your winter holiday. Depending on the route you choose, the sledging hill, which is up to two kilometres long, offers a good amount of speed for a while and you can easily get up on the fell with the ski resort’s chairlift. In addition to sledging, you can go skiing at Saariselkä Ski Resort with slopes on two fells, which offer suitable skiing for skiers of all levels. Of course, our legendary Santa’s Hotel Tunturi serves as your base in Saariselkä, as it has been accommodating tourists for decades with a national park as its backyard.
