Kalliokumpu Eco Lodge
Kustavi, Finland 60°N 21°O
DISCOVER YOURSELF IN TRUE ARCHIPELAGO NATURE
WELCOME TO KALLIOKUMPU ECO LODGE
We fell in love. With secluded island forests, sweet-smelling pine trees and the blue of the Baltic Sea. Kayaking on midsummer nights. Island labyrinths, campfires, Finnish saunas and blueberries among island moss. Millions of stars in the autumn sky, ice skating on frozen sounds, winter silence. Herbal massages in the Forest SPA, our archipelago cuisine and ever-changing stories.
NATURE AT THE HEART
Our outdoor activities create a space for you to connect with your inner self, as well as with us and our guests. Experiencing nature has a unifying effect. At Kalliokumpu, we believe it is important to strengthen our connection with nature. We believe that nature is healing. When you spend time in nature, whether sea kayaking, tracking wild animals or using the creative medium of nature photography, you can experience yourself in a larger context and become aware that you are part of a whole..
'Experience the Finnish archipelago between the Archipelago National Park and the Bothnian Sea National Park.’
TASTE THE ISLAND
In our island kitchen and cooking classes, we celebrate the nature of the Finnish archipelago with its seasonal and local flavours. Our passion for fresh, sustainable products is matched by our enthusiasm for foraging, the gathering of wild ingredients from nature. We often take trips to the island forest and the sea to enrich our cuisine with the treasures of Vartsala Island. The uniquely beautiful archipelago around Kustavi is a veritable treasure trove that we use to create a unique culinary experience for you.
‘THE AROMAS OF THE FOREST AND THE TASTE OF THE SEA WILL ENCHANT YOU.’
TREAT YOURSELFE WITH WELLBEING
The connection with nature is palpable. Feel reborn after enjoying the Finnish sauna and find peace through the power of healing herbs from the island forest during Rebecca's massage. Whether sauna yoga, Shinrin Yoku or a bath under the stars – all our Forest SPA wellness experiences free your mind from the noise of everyday life, give you serenity and invigorate your senses.
NIGHTVENTURE
Exploring the archipelago around Kustavi* at night is a unique experience. The time between dusk and darkness offers a very special atmosphere and will leave you amazed: Whether it's stargazing, the sounds of seabirds on a night-time kayak tour, the sunset and the silent appearance of the moon during a silent sauna, or the scent of pine and sea that accompanies the deep, dark peace and serenity of the night.
*The sky above Kustavi is one of the best dark sky destinations in Europe.
‘Marvel at one of the most impressive night-time landscapes in Europe.’

Forest bathing
in Finnland
Become one with him
Finnish forest
Have you ever been for a walk in the forest? But bathing in the forest? As a child, I swam in the forest every day. But I had no idea at the time that my curiosity and my spirit of discovery would later be praised as healing. . .
Hunting Season: Chasing mushrooms
Photo gallery: Woodcuisine & mushrooms on Vartsala
The forest on our island of Vartsala is said to be full of mushrooms. At least if you want to believe the locals. In the end there really is a happy ending and Rebecca cooks a delicious creamy chanterelle soup in the Woodcuisine . . .
