Christmas at coast of Saimaa
Welcome to spend lovely Christmas with us!
We want to offer you a place to spend a truly memorable Christmas. During your stay, you can start your mornings with a relaxing sauna in our traditional lakeside sauna and enjoy delicious Christmas meals prepared by our chefs. In addition to wonderful food and relaxing moments, the programme will include bingo, a fun post-Christmas dinner exercise session, singing some of the most beautiful Finnish Christmas carols together, and a horse-drawn sleigh ride, weather and snow conditions permitting.
The detailed day-by-day programme will be published at a later date.
We also want to give an opportunity to remember our loved ones that are no longer with us. On Christmas Eve people staying at our resort can come get a candle from our reception and take it to a memorial site we will build on our resort. Christmas is a joyful occasion for all to be together. Whether alone or in a bigger group, everyone is welcome to spend this Christmas with us!
