EXPLORE

A glimpse of the Northern Lights is top of many people’s bucket list, but where do you go to spot them? Top of our travel chart of lust is Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel* in Norway, which is carved out of ice from scratch each year. We’re also loving the new Aurora Cabins’ laser-heated glass roofs above the bed at Wilderness Hotel Nangu† near the Arctic Circle. Don’t want to fly? Head to Scotland, parts of which are actually on the same latitude as southern Norway and Alaska. The Isle of Skye has nine Dark Sky Discovery Sites and the architectdesigned Black Shed,‡ a remote, cosy cabin where you can spend nights by the fire – when you’re not light-gazing, that is.
