Simple Comforts and Spectacular Sea Views on a Private Island

Nestled within the serene waters near Uusikaupunki, this private island offers a rare opportunity to experience the Finnish archipelago on your own terms. The property is a charming and unplugged retreat, where the essence of island living is celebrated in its simplest, most authentic form.

Three cosy cottages are scattered across the rocky shoreline, providing a comfortable and intimate setting for a getaway. With a total of eight sleeping spots, the island creates a warm, inviting space for families or a small group of friends seeking a shared adventure away from the everyday.

Life here is dictated by the rhythm of the sea and sky. The western exposure treats guests to some of the archipelago’s most spectacular sunsets, best enjoyed from a sun-warmed terrace with a quiet glass in hand. Days are spent in the embrace of the elements—feeling the smooth rock underfoot, diving into the refreshing Baltic Sea from a private sandy beach, or simply letting the hours pass while lounging in the sun.

In the evening, the soft steam of the log sauna, heated by a Harvia Legend stove, offers a quintessential Finnish ritual before a refreshing dip or a rinse under the outdoor rainwater shower.

The island is a haven for those who find joy in nature’s details. Guests might spend an afternoon rowing the shoreline, picnicking on a deserted neighbouring island, or watching the local wildlife. The surrounding waters and skies are alive with swans, gulls, and the occasional glimpse of a grey heron or a majestic sea eagle.

For indoor entertainment, the main cottage offers a quiet refuge with board games, a small library, and a warming fireplace. Accommodations include a guest room with rustic, wild-west-inspired charm and a separate playhouse offering a delightful adventure for younger guests.

While the island offers a true escape, the services and restaurants of Uusikaupunki are within easy reach by boat, with transport available upon request. The property operates with a gentle, off-grid approach, embracing a back-to-nature ethos.

Solar power provides electricity in the main cottage, and the host supplies fresh drinking water. The experience is about disconnecting to reconnect, surrounded by the raw, understated beauty of the Baltic Sea.
