Haltia Lake Lodge

Named Best Sustainable Hotel in Europe at the 2022 Boutique Hotel Awards, Haltia Lake Lodge is perfect for the eco-conscious traveller seeking a luxurious nature-based stay. Located just 30 minutes from Finland's bustling capital, close to Nuuksio National Park, the setting is supreme. Opt to sleep in a comfortable room in the main lodge or choose one of the spacious luxury glamping domes set in the surrounding forest.

Home to just 20 hotel rooms and five spacious glamping tents, Haltia Lake Lodge was created to restore spirits through positive sustainable impact.

The glamping tents are the star of the show here. Surrounded by trees and fitted with king-sized beds, the floor-to-ceiling windows offer lucky visitors a front-row seat to the woodland and wildlife outside, plus each dwelling comes with a private deck for ultimate forest bathing.

From intrepid hiking, kayaking, and fat-biking adventures to more relaxing yoga classes, sauna sessions, and birdwatching strolls, there is a full menu of activities to choose from. Evenings can be spent relaxing and recharging under the glow of the midnight sun or chatting with fellow travellers on the outside terrace.

Dine at the Forest Lounge & Bar which serves a selection of tasty salads, baked potatoes, and sandwiches (the pulled elk filling is a firm favorite), or venture into the nearby city of Espoo to find fantastic restaurants, our favorite is Lucy in the Sky (the bus stop is located right outside the lodge and reaches Espoo in just 25 minutes).
