Lehmonkärki Resort

Finland

Overview

Located amongst some of the most beautiful Lakeland scenery, along the tranquil shores of Lake Päijänne, Lehmonkärki Resort invites you to experience the essence of a Finnish summer at its finest. Here, the gentle rhythm of lake life sets the pace, where days stretch long under the Nordic sun and nature’s tranquillity surrounds you at every turn.

Stay in one of the beautifully appointed lakeside villas, where traditional Finnish style meets modern comfort. Each villa offers direct access to the lake, a private sauna, and the perfect setting for long, lazy days of swimming, sunbathing, and simply unwinding.

This is where cherished summer memories are made: the scent of birchwood in a sauna, the sparkle of clear waters under the midnight sun, and the joy of quiet moments shared with loved ones. Whether you are taking a dip before breakfast or watching the sunset from your terrace, Lehmonkärki is a celebration of summer’s simple pleasures.

Dining

At Lehmonkärki Restaurant, food is more than a meal, it is a celebration of local flavour and seasonal produce. The monthly menu highlights the best of each season, with dishes crafted from nearby farms, forests, and Lake Päijänne itself.

Providing organic oats from their own farm, wild mushrooms and berries from the surrounding woods, fresh fish from the lake, and root vegetables from trusted village growers, all prepared with care using both traditional techniques and modern flair.

 

In summer, the Beach Restaurant offers relaxed lakeside dining with a tempting à la carte menu, cold drinks from local breweries, homemade ice cream, fresh pastries, and special coffees. Open from Midsummer to early August.

This is country gourmet at its finest – honest, hearty, and beautifully presented.

Aisti Sauna and Spa

Imagine a place where the pace of life slows, and the warmth of steam gently melts away stress. Where the only sounds are birdsong, the whisper of wind in the trees, and the soft lapping of waves from Lake Päijänne. This is Sauna & Spa of all senses – where nature, tradition, and calm come together.

For generations, Finns have turned to the sauna not just for warmth, but for balance – to recover, to reflect, and to reconnect with the natural world. That tradition continues in a beautiful new way at AISTI Sauna & Spa.

AISTI, which means “sense” in Finnish, is a place designed to awaken and soothe. You’ll find five unique saunas, each inspired by nature and crafted to bring body and mind into harmony. Outside, a series of open-air pools invite you to soak, breathe, and take in the untouched beauty of the surrounding forest and lake.

This is more than a visit to the sauna – it’s a full sensory journey, grounded in Finnish traditions and shaped by the rhythms of nature. Whether it’s your first sauna experience or a familiar ritual, AISTI offers a peaceful escape from everyday life and a deeper connection to the natural world.

Choice of accommodation

  • Villas

    Lehmonkärki offers fifteen beautifully designed villas, each thoughtfully placed to give you both privacy and a sense of closeness to the surrounding nature. While all villas are within easy walking distance of one another, they’re spaced far enough apart to ensure a peaceful and private stay.
    Whether you’re planning a romantic escape or a large family gathering, there’s a villa to suit every need – from cosy one-bedroom retreats to spacious seven-bedroom luxury accommodations. Some villas sit right by the lake with their own private beach, while others are set slightly back, offering stunning lake views from the comfort of your terrace. The villas are categorised as small for 2-5 people, mid-size for 6-8 people and large for 8-20 people.
    Every villa comes with its own sauna, and many also feature an outdoor hot tub – perfect for soaking under the open sky, no matter the season. Other amenities include a fully equipped kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining areas, a barbecue, and use of a rowing boat.
    Villas can be rented on a nightly basis, except between the middle of June and early August, when a minimum of 7 nights stay is required. Arrival Monday to Saturday, no checking in on a Sunday.

  • Haasi Mirror Houses

    Hidden on the peaceful shores of Lake Päijänne in southern Finland, Haasi Mirror Houses offer a truly unique escape designed especially for adults seeking calm, comfort, and a touch of everyday luxury.
    These four exclusive suites, built from mirror glass, blend beautifully into the surrounding nature while giving you unforgettable views of the lake from the moment you arrive. Each one is carefully designed to reflect the Finnish love of clean design, privacy, and the beauty of the seasons, offering a one-of-a-kind experience whether you visit in summer, autumn, winter, or spring.
    The Haasi area is private and closed to outsiders, ensuring total tranquillity. It’s also reserved for adults only, making it ideal for couples or friends looking to unwind in peace.
    Each stay includes everything you need to relax like the Finns do – slowly and comfortably:
    • Private use of the outdoor hot tub
    • Mirror-glass sauna (private or reserved sauna session)
    • A chilled bottle of sparkling wine waiting on arrival
    • Plush bathrobes and slippers for lounging in style
    • A generous countryside-style gourmet breakfast delivered to your door
    • Seasonal recreational equipment for exploring nature

    And for a truly indulgent evening, treat yourself to Haasi’s seasonal dinner – a chef’s surprise menu (additional cost) featuring local ingredients. It includes a selection of appetisers, a hearty main course with sides, and a delicious dessert. Dinner is served right to your Haasi Mirror House, and best enjoyed in your bathrobe, of course. Just be sure to order at least three days in advance.
