What you get

The crossing

Your holiday starts the moment we meet you.

No hire car. No check-in. You step off the plane and onto a boat.

The sauna

Hot sauna. Cold sea. Repeat.

Until midnight, if you want. Nobody is waiting for the room.

Grocery concierge

Your fridge is already full.

You tell us what you like before you travel. We shop in Vaasa. You never see a supermarket.

Two nights

Friday

The boat leaves.

The silence begins.

Saturday

Wake slowly.

Sauna. Sea. Fire.

Sunday

You already want to return.

We are not selling a place to stay.

Not an Airbnb

Nobody hands you a key and a list of chores.

Not a hotel

No lobby, no restaurant hours, no other guests.

Not a cabin rental

The boat, the sauna, the food and the silence are the product.

A fully hosted Finnish island experience — and then two nights of being left completely alone.

Where we are today

We are restoring the island right now.

Nothing here is open yet. We are restoring our first island retreat in the Kvarken Archipelago — the cottage, the jetty, the sauna — and we open in Summer 2027.

We are looking for the first 50 people who love extraordinary travel to help shape what this becomes. You will see it being built, and you will be asked what you think.
