Who we are

Welcome to Arctic Verge, a boutique guesthouse nestled in the serene landscapes of Äkäslompolo, Finland. We offer an unique and intimate escape for travelers seeking both adventure and tranquility.

Arctic Verge is lovingly run by Desley and Janette Sas. Desley, originally from the Netherlands, moved to Finland in 2020 to join Janette, who grew up in nearby Sirkka (Levi) and is a local to Finnish Lapland. With years of experience working in a Lapland resort—Desley in maintenance and Janette as a hotel manager—we decided it was time to pursue something of our own. When we discovered this beautiful property in Äkäslompolo, we knew it was the perfect opportunity to share our passion for hospitality and the Arctic.

With one side of the property as our family residence and the other dedicated to guests, we are always nearby to provide personalized recommendations, help plan your adventures, or simply share our love for this incredible region.

Situated just a short distance from the heart of Äkäslompolo, Arctic Verge offers easy access to the wonders of Lapland. Whether you’re here to chase the Northern Lights, ski through pristine trails, or relax under the midnight sun, the Arctic’s magic is right outside your door.
