Welcome to Esprit Holidays Santa's Lapland

There isn’t a smile in the world to beat your child’s delight at meeting the ‘real’ Santa Claus at last!! But that’s not the only reason to enjoy an Esprit Christmas break in Lapland, with the thrill of crossing the Arctic Circle into the land of the magical Northern Lights.

The whole family will love our reindeer sleigh-rides, the excitement of husky-sledding and snowmobiling, and the glittering charm of this beautiful winter wonderland.

    • Saariselkä

      Esprit Santa's Lapland are the UK's Number One tour operator to beautiful Saariselkä - the most northerly of Lapland's resorts, which nestles in a picturesque, unspoilt wilderness of gently rounded hills and snow-laden forests, 200kms north of the Arctic Circle.

      Here you will meet the native Sami people, who bid you a warm welcome to their traditional culture. Santa's tribe of Saari Elves live here too - a hardy lot renowned for their cheeky smiles and sense of fun, who will help guide you to Santa's hidden log cabin in the forest.
