Luosto Tunturi Hotel & Amethyst Spa
Luosto
Luosto nestles peacefully amidst the beautiful fells, forests and lakes of Lapland and is the ideal place for a winter holiday.
The resort is very small and with only two hotels and a selection of cabins it really retains its genuine Lappish charm. There are 7 ski slopes for those who fancy some downhill action on holiday and endless cross country ski trails for anyone who wants to explore the region at their own pace (equipment all available to rent, payable locally).
For those who want to take a memento home there are two small souvenir shops. A small supermarket is also available for any snacks and there are two restaurants where you can have lunch as well as a snack/burger bar at the Ski Centre.
The Luosto Tunturi Hotel and Amethyst Spa
The Luosto Tunturi Hotel and Amethyst Spa combines very comfortable bedrooms with a swimming pool, spa facilities and three restaurants to create a relaxing haven from the sub-zero temperatures outside.
Bedrooms
The spacious standard bedrooms all have an en-suite toilet/shower room (with hairdryer and clothes drying cabinet), mini bar, digital television and telephone. Every bedroom has been tastefully furnished and decorated and has free wireless internet. A PC is also available in reception for guests to use.
In each room you can convert the sofa into an additional bed for a third adult or two small children.
Tunturi and Amethyst suites
The suites are a great treat for couples and ideal for families who would like some more space.
The twelve Tunturi suites all have one bedroom for two people and the three Amethyst suites have two bedrooms for two people. The suites also have a sofa which can be turned into an extra bed for two people.
All suites have a lounge area, well equipped kitchen (ideal for making a snack or warm drink during your stay), a shower room with private sauna, hairdryer, drying cupboard, toilet, telephone, TV and balcony.
Restaurants
Half board is included in your stay at the Tunturi. The expansive breakfast buffet will set you up nicely for the day. There’s just about everything from cereals to bacon and eggs, fruit, yoghurt, the obligatory porridge and our particular favourite, breakfast waffles.
Your evening meals will include a range of salad starters as well as a buffet choice of main course and a dessert. Some of our programmes also include special evening meals which feature Lappish dishes as well as some Christmas favourites. These may be served in the Tunturi’s Kelo log restaurant which is just a short walk away from the hotel.
For lunch there hotel’s Bistro restaurant offers a set lunch menu or you can choose from the other restaurants in the village.
Swimming Pool
A real attraction at the Tunturi is the pool area and spa facilities.
The swimming pool is a favourite with families and adults alike and there are massage and waterfall points as well as a jacuzzi in the amethyst cave.
Naturally, this being Finland, there is also a sauna wing with both Turkish and Finnish saunas as well as a small gym.
The Amethyst Spa
The Amethyst Spa offers a range of deliciously relaxing treatments from facials to massages.
We wish that we were able to give first hand advice on all of the treatments but sadly we felt that asking to try each one was a little much. At the time of booking we will provide you with the full list of available treatments and contact details for the spa to arrange any treatments that you wish, they will be able to give you full details about each treatment and advice on which would be the most suitable for you.
Availability can be limited so we recommend that you book any treatments before you travel to avoid any disappointment.
