In more detail

Kuru Resort is an exclusive, adults-only section of the wider Järvisydän Resort in Finland’s Lake Saimaa region – around a three-and-a-half hour drive north of Helsinki. No matter which time of year you choose to visit, it’s an idyllic place to rest, recharge and embrace the calming ambience of the surrounding woodlands.

Choose between Nature Villas, immersed in the forest, or Lake Suites, right on the shore of the lake. Both accommodation types brim with quintessentially Nordic style and come with an outdoor patio with floating chairs, a fireplace, a private sauna, an Espresso machine and large windows that allow you to make the most of the delightful surroundings. A delicious breakfast is delivered to your accommodation each morning, too – the perfect way to start each day.

There’s an innovative and varied dining scene, with Restaurant Solitary serving a seasonal chef’s menu based around the highest quality local ingredients with dishes that taste just as exquisite as they look. The wider resort has several further venues to choose from, including a restaurant that cooks its dishes over an open fire, a lunch buffet, and an intimate teepee restaurant serving authentic regional classics.

Guided wellness classes are held daily, with a focus on breathing exercises, meditation, sound baths and yoga, designed to soothe both mind and body. You can also unwind in the lakeside saunas, each of which comes with its own outdoor Jacuzzi – and of course, there’s always the option of taking a refreshing dip in the lake itself. A wide range of activities can be arranged on-site, from ice skating, sledding and snowmobiling in winter to kayaking, fat biking and Saimaa Ringed Seal spotting in summer.
