Luxury + Finland = Pure & Simple

Luxury + Finland = Pure & Simple

In Finland we interpret the word “luxury” a bit differently than you may be used to. Instead of lavishness, gold and glitter we offer you a chance to slow down, to breathe, to connect with one another and feel a sense of lightness in just…well, being.

A sense of calm is the essence in all Finnish luxury getaways. For those looking for unique travel experiences, all-around high quality service combined with great comfort, as well as the choice between solitude and urban encounters, Finland is an excellent option for a luxurious get-away. Whether you are looking for a city center boutique hotel experience or an escape into a hideaway in the middle of nowhere, here are some picks for you, from us.
