På 1720-talet uppfördes ett kapell vid Vilasundet. Området var på den tiden norskt och befolkades i huvudsak av samer. Initiativtagare till det kapellet var den norske prästen Thomas von Westen, även kallad samernas apostel.
Det nuvarande kapellet, vars främste tillskyndare var prosten Victor Svedberg, invigdes den 2. juli 1983 av biskop Olaus Brännström.
Kapellet rymmer ca 80-100 personer och här hålls 4-5 gudstjänster/år.
Vila kapell ägs av Stiftelsen Vila kapell.
