The story of Kelo
In the summer of 2024, a group of entrepreneurs united by their love for Lapland and its nature learned that the historic Vuontispirtti was for sale. They saw the area’s potential and the possibility of a new beginning – shaped by responsibility and deep respect for both history and the surrounding environment.
Our company’s name comes from the kelo pine, an icon of Lapland’s forests. The kelo timber used in the construction of our hotel symbolises everything we cherish at Kelo: permanence, authenticity and respect for nature. This is how the name Kelo Resort was born.
The renewed hotel opened on 1 November 2025 as a full-service boutique resort.
Stunning Location in Lapland
Kelo Resort is tucked away in the quiet village of Yli-Kyrö, embraced by the untouched landscapes of Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park – one of Finland’s largest national parks. Snow blankets the landscape for around 200 days each year, and the northern lights can be seen on up to 200 nights annually. At Kelo, you experience Lapland’s nature at its most authentic.
We arrange transfers from Kittilä and Rovaniemi airport as well as from Kolari train station, which makes us easy to reach for everyone.
