For Japan-Finland stopover travelers

Helsinki stopover with a private Finnish sauna and villa stay

Add a quiet Finnish nature, sauna and villa experience to your Helsinki stopover. Villa Långstrand is about 90 minutes from Helsinki Airport and can be arranged in advance for private groups of up to 5 guests.

A prepared private experience

A different way to spend one or two nights in Finland

Many travelers from Japan pass through Helsinki on the way to or from Europe. Instead of spending another night in a city hotel, Villa Långstrand offers a private Finnish villa stay with sauna, smoke sauna by advance arrangement, outdoor jacuzzi, clean air, quiet nature and access to the shoreline.

This is not an ad hoc service or a same-day activity. The stay is prepared in advance around your flight times, group size and wishes. Transportation, food arrangements, sauna, smoke sauna and optional private chef service can all be planned before arrival.

What makes it special

Real luxury in Finland is quiet, warmth and clean air

For many guests, real luxury in Finland is not formality or excess. It is quiet nature, clean air, warm sauna, a private outdoor jacuzzi, unhurried time and a peaceful place to sleep well after a long journey.
