Wood-Heated cottage sauna and a sunning natural stone fireplace
The heart of the Skitunäs cottage is its atmospheric wood-heated sauna, where the gentle steam helps both body and mind unwind. The sauna area includes a shower room and a small dressing room with direct access to the terrace. From there, you can take a refreshing dip in the sea or relax on the glazed terrace surrounded by sea views and fresh air.
In the living room, warmth and ambiance are created by a magnificent fireplace built from natural stone. This open fireplace adds a soft glow and a cozy atmosphere, making evenings at the cottage especially inviting and relaxing.
Loft with pool table
The loft of the cottage offers plenty of space for relaxing and sleeping. It provides a peaceful retreat for children and teenagers, yet also serves as a cozy leisure area for the whole family. Upstairs, you’ll also find a pool table that invites everyone to friendly competition and fun game nights. Whether it’s a family tournament or a casual match between friends, a game of pool adds a touch of entertainment to your cottage stay – no matter what the weather is like outside.
Peaceful seaside sauna and a cozy grill hut
In the courtyard of Skitunäs cottage, you’ll find a charming grill hut that provides the perfect setting for gatherings all year round. The hut is furnished with benches covered in soft sheepskins and a central open fire for grilling, regardless of the weather. Sitting by the fire, you can enjoy good food and great company even when the sea breeze is blowing outside.
On the rocky shoreline, right by the water’s edge, stands a large wood-heated shore sauna that accommodates up to 10 people. The sauna offers soft, relaxing steam, and cooling off is easy with a dip directly in the sea. From the sauna terrace, you can enjoy a stunning sea view – an ideal spot to watch the sunset on a summer evening or embrace the peaceful silence of winter.

Pets are welcome at Villa Skitunäs for an additional fee of €10 per pet per night. Please inform us about your pets when booking so we can notify future guests with allergies.
🏡 Year-Round Comfort
The villa is a fully insulated log cabin, suitable for year-round stays. The sea often remains unfrozen until January, but swimming ladders are removed in late November due to freezing risk. In winter, guests are welcome to make a hole in the ice for swimming.
The seaside sauna is available also during winter — its floor may be cool, but the steam is wonderfully warm even in subzero temperatures.
