Northern Whispers

NORTHERN WHISPERS is an Arctic cultural and hospitality destination in Pond Inlet, Nunavut, inspired by Inuit beliefs in life’s cyclical nature. Through circular forms, natural materials, and programs ranging from cultural workshops to spa rituals, it guides guests from darkness to light, enclosure to openness—symbolizing renewal—while fostering cultural exchange, sustainability, and deep connection to the land.
