GREAT OUTDOORS, SANDY BEACHES, EXCELLENT FOOD AND COMFORTABLE ACCOMMODATION...THAT'S PISTOHIEKKA!
Pistohiekka is one of the finest beach resorts at the shores of Lake Saimaa. Come and enjoy magnificent nature and great architecture in the middle of Lake Saimaa labyrinth archipelago!
Pistohiekka is part of Saimaa UNESCO Global Geopark with many attractions nearby waiting for you to explore them. The surrounding nature is uniquely beautiful and there is a lot of things to do for days - or weeks! You can go hiking, kayaking, cycling, fishing or sailing. But, of course, there is nothing wrong with just relaxing on the beach and enjoying the scenery.
The resort consists of two main buildings and ten cottages for accommodation. The beach restaurant with a fantastic lake view is famous for the Finnish wood architecture and a popular attraction of its own right. Our resort was opened in June 2022 and has already appeared on major international architecture and design magazines (e.g. Dezeen, ArchDaily) and impressed on social media.
The lakeside restaurant offers tasty local food, and its terrace is a perfect place to enjoy warm summer days or dark autumn nights.
Our saunas are a great way to relax and wind down from day’s activities. You can go swimming in the lake straight from the sauna.
Some of our quests just stop for a short break, but we invite you to stay a longer time and enjoy this extremely attractive region.
