Our story

In the hectic pace of modern living and working, stillness is real luxury.

There is no better place to experience authentic presence than in the vast quietness of Finnish Lapland. On our Resort and Ranch in Ylläs and Downtown apartments in Levi we have created the best possible setting for our guests to be in touch with nature and reconnect with what matters.

Sense the stillness

To us, stillness makes sense. It can move something inside of you, if you let it. Reconnect with yourself and discover Lapland’s tranquil nature. Find something you didn’t expect, find peace of mind.

Our tagline, Sense the stillness, refers to stillness as a state of mind that requires mindful presence in each moment. We believe that stillness is the key to creating new connections, both between ourselves and nature. Sense also refers to perception. Our destinations and services are designed so that the visitor can experience their holiday with all their senses.

Jänkä Mindset

Jänkä Mindset sets us apart from our competitors. Authenticity, hospitality and a premium setting allow you to stop and be present in the moment. We offer tailor-made service and craft dream holidays that meet the needs of quality-conscious holidaymakers, adventurers and business guests alike.

Whether you want to relax in a secluded villa with all imaginable comforts, feel the thrill and speed at the slopes or be in walking distance of the hotspots of town, we have a place for you. Jänkä accommodations are also inspiring settings for travelers looking to combine pleasure with business and enhance teamwork.

Preserving Arctic Integrity

With deep running connections to this land, we have grown to cherish the delicate yet powerful nature of Lapland. We aim to offer memorable experiences while preserving the unique natural values of our arctic area. This means for example conscious decisions about using recycled materials during construction.

We are investing in geothermal heating at the Resort, which will limit its energy consumption and lower the carbon footprint. It is built with respect towards the surroundings, without disturbing the traditional reindeer herding. At Jänkä Resort restaurant, we favor local, fresh ingredients and produce.

Revelatory Stillness

To us, stillness makes sense. It can move something inside of you, if you let it. There is no place better to experience revelatory stillness than Finnish Lapland, with its vast landscapes, rugged fells and unique flora and fauna. We have carefully considered our effect on the surrounding wilderness. For us, the reindeer, huskies and horses on the Ranch are family members, and treated as such.

Experiences are set on the terms of the animals and their well-being. If they are relaxed and happy, it will also affect our guests positively. But you don’t have to spend time with our friends on the Ranch to sense the stillness. It’s enough to arrive here to feel the calming presence of being truly close to nature.

Contemporary Comforts

Our premium villas and holiday apartments cater to seasoned travelers who appreciate ultimate comfortability. For us it’s important to create places that invite visitors to reconnect with themselves and be present for their loved ones. Premium settings with all their thoughtful details are only one side of our comfort-first philosophy.

What makes a holiday truly memorable according to our guests is the warmth and hospitality they experience here. You will be greeted by people who really care and take pride in what they do. They are not in a rush, but choose to leave time and room for connection, and want to extend the same feeling to our guests.
