What comes to your mind, when you think of Finland? Pure nature, snow and dozens of lakes, northern lights and forests? That is what inspired Johanna and Pauli Marin to build 20 modern igloos in a heart of Kuusamo, located in Finnish Lapland. Magical Pond emphasizes importance of nature, that is why its igloos were designed to be compact. It is a perfect place to observe nature as well in the winter, as in the summer.
Magical Pond is more, than accommodation, it is a place to experience the unique culture of Lapland.
Magical Pond has diversity of all-inclusive packages. The idea is to offer a mindfulness experience, an active day outside in the nature and peaceful night with breathtaking views. Packages are divided for three different types: A Touch of Magic, Wanderlust Magic and Arctic Magic. These packages have the variety of such activities as husky and reindeer safari, dinner in a Lappish hut and many other experiences. Magical Pond's activity supplier, Lammintupa Winter Village, has more than 20 years of experience.
15 m2 sized glass igloos were inspired by Lappish nature and its shades. During the stay guests can enjoy delicious local food and sleep in the magical atmosphere of northern night. Kanttia 2 architectural bureau designed igloos to blend in the nature and let Magical Pond's guest feel its closeness.
