The Finnish Sauna Experience – From Your Private Villa to Presidential Luxury

In Finland, almost every home and cottage has at least one sauna – and naturally, our villas are no exception. Both Villa Mustikka and Villa Pihlajanmarja come with private saunas, offering our guests a truly authentic experience.

Villa Mustikka features an electric sauna that provides excellent löyly (steam), thanks to the log construction and efficient ventilation. At Villa Pihlajanmarja, the experience is elevated with a wood-heated sauna, known for its soft and rich heat. And if you’re unfamiliar with heating a wood sauna, don’t worry – we’re always happy to help or teach you.

Both villas also feature a spacious sauna terrace with a private outdoor jacuzzi, allowing you to soak in the warm water while admiring the stunning natural views – the perfect way to complete your sauna session.

But that’s just the beginning.

For those seeking something truly exceptional, we offer access to a VIP sauna complex once frequented by President Urho Kekkonen and other prominent Finnish and international guests – from politicians and business leaders to cultural icons. Located on a historic private estate, this exclusive sauna offers an unmatched atmosphere of elegance, seclusion, and natural beauty. A dedicated sauna host will ensure everything is perfectly prepared and maintained throughout your visit.

In winter, VIP guests can also enjoy a traditional avanto (ice hole), kept open with a propeller and illuminated with an underwater light. Whether you want a quick dip or a bracing swim, it's a unique and invigorating experience – celebrated for its many health benefits.

And for true sauna connoisseurs, we offer the traditional Finnish smoke sauna – available only a few times a year. Heating this unique sauna takes an entire day, but the deep, gentle heat and the unmistakable aroma deliver a once-in-a-lifetime löyly experience.

VIP Sauna and Smoke Sauna experiences are available exclusively to premium guests by special request.
