While the best thing to do on the island is absolutely nothing at all, there are plenty of options available if you feel like staying active.

Sauna & Swimming

The heart of the island is our traditional Finnish sauna, recently updated with magnificent, handcrafted benches. It’s the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the gentle heat.

 

Just a few steps from the sauna, you can take a refreshing dip in the clean waters of the lake. Whether it's a morning swim or a cooling plunge between sauna sessions, the pure water is an essential part of the island experience.

During your stay, two SUP boards and two canoes are freely available for you to use. It is also possible to take a canoe trip to a nearby uninhabited island.

Outdoor Cooking & Camp Fire

Food always tastes better when cooked over an open fire. You are warmly welcome to join your hosts in preparing meals outdoors or simply to enjoy the campfire's warmth. It is a wonderful way to gather together and share stories as the sun sets over the island.

Forest Bath &

Bird Watching

Recharge with a forest bath along the island's small nature trail, enjoying the sounds and scents of the woods. The lake is a paradise for birdwatching, where you can observe many waterbirds like swans and ducks. It is a perfect way to connect with nature, whether wandering the trail or sitting still.

Traditional Finnish
Wood-Fired Sauna

The heart of the island is its sauna. Traditionally, the day ends with a shared sauna, where the worries of the day are washed away and the evening is welcomed in calmness. Gentle steam and refreshing dips in the lake between sauna sessions relax the nervous system and support recovery. After the sauna, both mind and body feel refreshed, ensuring a good night’s sleep.

Our sauna is heated with a traditional wood-burning stove holding over 240 kg of natural stones. The heat from the stones provides gently soothing steam, but for those who wish, it is also possible to experience the stronger, more intense löyly typical of Finnish sauna culture. We always heat the sauna according to our guests’ preferences to ensure a pleasant experience for everyone.

In the sauna, washing is done traditionally using a ladle and lake water. The water is heated in a cauldron over the fire and adjusted to a comfortable temperature for washing. On our island, we use only natural, environmentally friendly washing products, as we are committed to protecting the lake from unnecessary chemicals.
