Octola Private Wilderness, one of the world’s most exclusive Arctic retreats in Finnish Lapland, has set a new benchmark for luxury and conscious travel. The ultra-luxury destination has become the first travel experience worldwide to monitor ultrafine air particles using research-grade technology. Installed across its private estate, this system provides guests with measurable insight into the purity of Arctic air, long celebrated as some of the cleanest on Earth.
“Our surroundings have always offered a rare purity. Now, we have the data to prove it,” says Janne Honkanen, Founder of Octola. “By measuring ultrafine particles, some of the smallest and most harmful pollutants — we can assure our guests of the environment’s quality in a meaningful, transparent way.”
This initiative builds on Octola’s mission to offer experiences rooted in the healing powers of Lapland’s pristine air and untouched wilderness, reinforcing the restorative qualities that returning guests have always sensed.
By continuously monitoring and reporting air quality, Octola is raising the bar for environmental responsibility and guest care. The retreat collaborates with leading researchers, including Northern Lights scientist Dr. Esa Turunen, offering a rare combination of luxury, natural serenity, and ongoing scientific research.
The new Octola II, opening in December 2025, will extend these standards. Featuring five ensuite bedrooms, a children’s playroom, spa, gym, saunas, and Northern Lights-viewing areas with glass ceilings, Octola II promises immersive experiences amidst 1,730 acres of private wilderness. The Supersuite Villa includes two large ensuite bedrooms, private saunas, baths, and outdoor hot tubs.
Octola is also launching Respiro Octola, a health and wellness programme designed to connect guests with the environment’s clean Arctic air. Curated experiences include guided breathwork, sauna sessions, yoga, ice swimming, and other natural treatments shown to reduce stress, improve resilience, and support long-term wellbeing. Studies from the World Health Organization and the University of Helsinki suggest that spending a week in Lapland can extend lifespan by hours depending on one’s origin, highlighting the benefits of pristine air.
“Scientific studies show that air pollution reduces global life expectancy by roughly two years. Breathing air as clean as Lapland’s can aid respiratory recovery, enhance wellbeing, and may even contribute to a longer life,” explains Professor Mikko Sipilä, University of Helsinki.
Through advanced environmental monitoring and sustainable practices, Octola reinforces its role as a guardian of the Arctic wilderness. By combining luxury, wellness, and measurable environmental accountability, it offers a unique experience that blends indulgence with conscious travel.
“The purity of our air is often described as healing, almost otherworldly. With this monitoring, we can protect it and hold ourselves to the highest standards,” adds Honkanen.
About Octola Private WildernessLocated in Finnish Lapland, Octola Private Wilderness offers ultra-luxury off-grid lodges, personal chefs, wilderness guides, and authentic Lappish traditions. Reservations are highly limited, with a 94% guest return rate. The exact location remains undisclosed to protect privacy, and interested travellers may request to join a private waiting list.
