Destination
Archipelago & Lakeland
40,000 islands off Turku, and a lakeside resort two hours from Helsinki Airport.
Finland's least-used MICE asset. The Turku archipelago is one of the largest in the world by island count, and it holds venues you can take over entirely — a former coast guard station on a private island, the world's largest underground smoke sauna, a seaside villa with its own sailing fleet. Inland, the Päijänne lake district offers the same exclusivity two hours from Helsinki Airport, which makes it the obvious answer to a Nordic kick-off brief.
