Brändön Lodge
Brändön Lodge is located on an island on the coast of Swedish Lapland. The lodge overlooks the frozen sea and islands of the Luleå archipelago. The Luleå archipelago has a total of 1300 islands and only 100 inhabitants and is a unique wilderness environment where the sea around the islands freezes up to one meter thick in winter, allowing for a wide range of winter activities such as snowmobiling and dog sledding.
In the summer, Brändön Lodge offers a fantastic location as a base for exploring the Luleå region and the archipelago's stunning nature. In the autumn, Brändön Lodge offers a wide range of activities, including Northern Lights tours, boat trips and even seal watching. All year round, our fantastic log cabin restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Reviews
We just arrived home from another fabulous stay with Brandon Lodge. They took care of arranging all of the activities so makes the stay very easy. They provide a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere and made to feel at home. Cabins cater for all you need and are very warm! The food is outstanding and you couldn’t fault any of the staff - everyone from our airport transfer to the management and guides all are friendly and knowledgable and nothing is too much trouble.
All outer-wear cold weather clothing is provided too!

Friendly staff, good food, clean cabin, and activities to pick from. We stayed at one of the self-serve cabins. There were two rooms, 4 beds total, a restroom with shower (soaps provided) and hairdryer, a small living area where we could play cards, a kitchenette with dorm size fridge, microwave, a cupboard of glasses and dishes, and a sink. At the lodge we had breakfasts and dinners, all of which were freshly and expertly made by the nicest staff. We took advantage of a couple of activities and were treated like old friends every step of the way.

We have recently returned from an incredible five days staying at Brandon Lodge with our 9 year old twins. I cannot praise this place more! The setting is stunning. The staff go above and beyond to ensure that you are having your best possible experience and the food is amazing! We did dog sledding, snow mobiling, ice fishing and the Sami/Reindeer experience and loved all of them. In between activities the children spent all their time toboggoning next to the lodge. They had their best holiday ever. We all did. We were even lucky enough to see the northern lights. Thank you to all the team. We hope to come back!
