Tour Itinerary
Fly to Helsinki airport, transfer on your own to the heart of Helsinki by train* and check in at Hotel Haven for a one-night stay. Conveniently located on the city's picturesque harbour, Hotel Haven is an excellent starting point for exploring the centre of the Finnish capital.
*Alternatively, ask us to book a private transfer for you.
In the morning, head to the train station and depart Helsinki for a picturesque two-and-a-half-hour journey north to the heart of Finland's lake region. Upon arrival in Mikkeli, a small town on the banks of the biggest lake in Finland - Lake Saimaa - take a private transfer to Kuru Resort (transfer will take approximately one-and-a-half-hours), an extraordinary luxury retreat exclusively for adults nestled amidst an enchanting pine forest, offering a tranquil and immersive experience.
Upon arrival, check in to your Villa and enjoy an enchanting forest or lake view through your large floor-to-ceiling window. Spend the rest of the day unwinding in your Villa’s private spa, complete with private sauna and hot tub. In the evening, opt for a delicious dinner at either Restaurant Piikatyttö or Solitary. (B)
*Kuru Resort hosts wellness classes daily, focusing on breathing exercises, meditation, sound baths and gentle yoga. Relaxation lessons for each day are included in your stay.
After a hearty breakfast conveniently delivered to your Villa, set off on an unforgettable excursion to Lake Saimaa: a boat trip to Linnansaari National Park and the Saimaa archipelago, including a hike on either Kaarnetsaari or Linnansaari island. Upon return, relax at the resort's lakeside sauna and take a dip in the pristine waters of the nearby lake. (B)
Today embark on a two-and-a-half-hour ringed seal watching trip. Navigate to rambling Linnansaari Island for the best chances to spot them and learn more about this endangered species exclusive to Lake Saimaa. Spend the rest of the day enjoying nature from the comforts of your Villa, or exploring the beautiful wilderness surrounding Kuru Resort by taking advantage of the available e-fat bikes, canoes or SUP boards. In the evening, enjoy an included six-course dinner at restaurant Solitary, based on high-quality handwork and seasonally sourced ingredients. (B,D)
