The grand opening of the Octola III project is expected on December 1, when an ultra-exclusive luxury building will open its doors in the Enontekiö region, in northern Finland. Built on land that once hosted a secret radar monitoring base, the structure is an extension of the Octola complex, initiated by Finnish entrepreneur Janne Honkanen. Located near the borders with Sweden and Norway, the location promises an isolated and ascetic vacation experience, described by organizers as similar to a super-yacht navigating under the Northern Lights.

Access to Octola III is strictly limited, with accommodation prices starting at €20,000 per night for the entire property, plus an additional €20,000 for renting the station. Guests are placed on a waitlist and undergo a rigorous selection process. Janne Honkanen confirmed that he rejected requests from reality TV producers, including those of the Kardashian family, to ensure visitors appreciate the Arctic nature and have an appropriate profile. In the past, the complex has hosted business empire founders and members of royal families. [1]
Secrecy and privacy are guaranteed both by the absence of a classic reception and by keeping the exact location confidential until guests are transported, as well as by an explicit ban on using geolocation data on social media. The architecture, constructed in stone and reclaimed oak wood, is designed to blend into the snowy landscape. The interior includes two main apartments, each equipped with a bedroom, private bathroom, living room with a fireplace, and powered by geothermal energy. [1]
Proposed activities include snowmobiling on electric snowmobiles, cross-country skiing, ice fishing, hunting, and interaction with Sámi culture. This form of luxury tourism is supported by local leaders and Janná Näkkäläjärvi, director of the Sámi Education Institute, who argues that it protects the Arctic ecosystem from the impact of mass tourism, stating: 'We need tourists, but we need the rich ones.'

Janne Honkanen, a former professional snowmobiler, developed his luxury empire with initial support from Formula 1 champion Mika Häkkinen after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. Octola III continues the success of its first two editions, located on a private wild area of 607 hectares near Rovaniemi. Previous structures offered accommodation of up to €40,000 per night, including facilities such as private saunas and personal residence spaces. [1]
