Embark on Your Exclusive Island Retreat in Finlands Vast Archipel…

About the Island

Our esteemed partner has undertaken a noble endeavour to construct something truly extraordinary, honouring both the majestic landscape and the inherent character of the island. Here, design seamlessly follows the contours of the land, allowing nature to guide its path rather than imposing upon it. This is a place where emotions and experiences hold greater significance than mere words or images. To genuinely grasp the essence of the island, one must witness it firsthand.

Spanning across 2 hectares (5 acres), the island extends its three arms gracefully towards the north. The structures, the beach, and the jetty reside in the northeastern corner, yet the entire island is easily traversable, with duckboards and steps thoughtfully placed in the more challenging areas.

Dining

Indulge in the freedom of choice when it comes to dining on the island, where there are no fixed rules or limitations. Whether your palate craves wild delicacies, vegan delights, or the classic allure of Neapolitan pizza, you have the flexibility to bring your own provisions and cook to your heart's desire. Explore the art of open-fire barbecuing or savor the rich flavors of smoked fish. Alternatively, allow our esteemed chefs to pamper you with exceptional locally sourced cuisine, crafted with expertise.

The island's culinary maestros have fostered strong bonds with numerous nearby suppliers, ensuring that every ingredient they utilize is obtained as locally as possible. They embrace foraging and employ traditional preservation methods, such as fermentation and smoking, to capture the essence of the archipelago's summertime. Their culinary creations epitomize clean flavors and showcase the finest quality ingredients.

If you desire a change of ambiance, there are excellent restaurants in the vicinity where we can arrange transportation for you. Immerse yourself in a delightful dining experience beyond the island's shores.

Activities

Your only job here might be to light the logs for the sauna, and to switch off from time. To disconnect from the world. But… when you’re done with that, the island offers plenty of ways to reconnect with the nature – and with yourself:

The beach

Sandy beach is bordered from two sides by dramatic rocks that reflect the shimmering water, also making it calm with most winds. The shallow end is shallow enough for kids to play safely.

Boating & Kayaking

There is a rowing boat with a 4hp engine and a kayak for the guests to use freely to go around the nearby canals and islands.  For longer boat trips, we can organise a rental boat with a skipper to take you around.

Island hopping

Allow our esteemed partner to curate unforgettable boat excursions throughout the captivating archipelago. Immerse yourself in a multitude of remarkable destinations, perfect for day trips or even overnight adventures. Among the well-known highlights awaits Bengtskär, a mere 20 minutes away, boasting the title of the tallest and most exquisite lighthouse in the Nordics, accompanied by a captivating history. Discover Örö, a former military island just 10 minutes away, now transformed into a welcoming guest harbor. Experience its remarkable natural beauty, relish in its restaurant and array of services. Aspö, a charming little island approximately 60 minutes away, offers a delightfully picturesque village where you can acquire freshly caught seafood straight from the bountiful sea. Let our partner guide you through these enchanting island treasures.

Handcrafts

If you feel like doing some handcrafts, the workshop has a wide selection of hand- and power tools and there is a good stock of materials. We can also arrange for someone to help you on building a souvenir for yourself.

Hot tub, sauna & the sea

Engaging in the delightful ritual of heating the hot tub and sauna sets the tone for a truly tranquil day. The possibilities for relaxation are boundless, as you can freely alternate between refreshing dips in the sea, indulging in the sauna experience, and unwinding in the soothing ambiance of the hot tub. There are no restrictions or limits imposed on the number of times you can partake in these rejuvenating activities. Embrace the serenity and enjoy the therapeutic benefits at your leisure.
