Grand Arctic Resort

Welcome to 
Grand Arctic Resort

Small-town comfort by a beautiful bend of the Kalix River 

Welcome to Grand Arctic Resort in the picturesque town of Överkalix, just below the Arctic Circle. Set at a beautiful bend of the Kalix River, with almost a kilometre of riverside and the rolling landscapes of northern Sweden all around, the resort offers a relaxed way to experience Lapland through every season. 

Stay in comfortable hotel rooms, Aurora Rooms or riverside cabins, or choose the beautifully renovated 17th-century villa in the village. Days can be filled with husky safaris, snowmobile adventures, river activities, scenic walks and Northern Lights experiences, while evenings are for the sauna and jacuzzi, dinner overlooking the river or a drink in the Wilderness Bar. Warm, welcoming and easy-going, Grand Arctic Resort brings together small-town hospitality, Arctic experiences and the changing landscapes of Swedish Lapland in one comfortable riverside stay.

Drinks and something local 

Right beside reception, the Wilderness Bar is an easy place to meet for a drink, enjoy a local beer or order something small to eat. 

Sauna & Relax
