Punkaharju Resort

The Finnish Lakeland


Near Retretti train station, this enormous lakeside resort has a whole town’s worth of campsites, solid cabins, cottages and apartments. Facilities include a beach, restaurant, tennis court and minigolf course. It's great for kids, who’ll undoubtedly want to spend most of their time in the popular waterpark next door.

Apartments have cooking facilities and bathrooms. The simple camping cottages have a sauna, kitchen and terrace, but guests must use the communal bathroom and toilet facilities. There's wi-fi access in the apartments but not in the camping cottages or at the campsite.
