If being eco friendly is important to you, then you're going to love today's post. Built on an island right off the Finnish capital Helsinki is a beautiful little cabin that has a minimal environmental impact.  Designed by Finnish designer Robin Falck, the cabin has been built from sustainable materials, and designed for a simple lifestyle with almost no emissions. The great thing is, it also takes into account the stunning surroundings.  The cabin is only a 20 minute boat ride from the Helsinki market square, and will be there until the end of September. It's the size of a small bedroom and can be assembled and transported without heavy machinery, leaving its environment nearly untouched. The Nolla cabin has been enlisted for booking a two-night stay during September through Airbnb, offering accommodation for two. Why not book and experience something a little bit different!

It's located in the Northern part of the country, above the arctic circle, and is being touted as one of the most romantic getaways in the world. It's located 35km away from Ivalo airport (there are regular flights from Helsinki to Ivalo), and a bus transfer takes you straight to the hotel.

The glass igloo is built from a special thermal glass, and the temperature inside the igloo stays at a normal level. It is equipped with a toilet and luxury beds, and provides a one of a kind opportunity to see millions of stars in the clear sky. Photos courtesy of Kaks...
