Well-Being and Glamping is a great niche for luxury travel.
Aurora Safari Camp, an outdoor nature lavvu camp, less than an 1 hour North of Luleå and Boden, is a nature retreat perched on a point by the Råneriver, in the woods, near Lassbyn.
Quietly relaxing in a lavvu camp between the river and the mountain. With natural clean water bottled at the property. It is a true luxury, like the last time spending time at the camp, gazing at the stars and the northern lights, enjoying great gourmet food, and hanging out by the open fire.

This week, Aurora Safari Camp won the prestigious Award at the Academy of Swedish Lapland. The 2013 Innovation Award.
