At Villa Långstrand, sustainability is part of how our villas operate — especially during the summer season in the Finnish Archipelago, where nature, light, and calm define the experience.

Our goal is to combine comfortable, reliable stays with practical actions that reduce environmental impact, without changing how guests use or experience the villas.

100% Solar Energy During the Summer Season

During summer, Villa Pihlajanmarja and Långstrand Luxe are powered entirely by renewable solar energy.

Battery storage ensures that solar energy can be used consistently throughout the day and evening, even when sunlight levels vary.

Solar Energy as Part of Normal, Reliable Infrastructure

The villas operate just like any modern, well-equipped accommodation — with the difference that the electricity used during summer is produced on-site from renewable sources.

Being connected to the grid ensures stability and reliability at all times, while solar energy and battery storage significantly reduce reliance on external electricity during the season.

For guests, this means a smooth, familiar experience where sustainability works quietly in the background.

Renewable Energy Also in the Sauna

The sauna is a central part of Finnish culture, and at Villa Långstrand it is also part of our renewable energy choices.

These saunas are heated with wood, a renewable energy source, using traditional methods that reflect long-standing Finnish sauna practices. When sourced and used responsibly, wood heating offers efficient warmth, durability, and an authentic sauna experience closely connected to nature.

A Practical, Long-Term Approach to Sustainability

Our investment in solar energy and renewable heating reflects a long-term approach to responsible tourism. Rather than symbolic measures, we focus on practical and measurable actions that support both environmental responsibility and a high-quality guest experience.

This way of working aligns with Finland’s broader direction toward sustainable, data-informed tourism development.
