An island where time slows down.

Just outside Helsinki, surrounded by sea and forest, Mataskär offers a setting for meaningful gatherings, quiet retreats, and memorable celebrations. A place where nature, heritage, and hospitality meet.

ARRIVAL

The island, spanning three hectares, is connected to the mainland by a bridge, making it easily accessible by car or even public bus.

For those arriving by sea, the sauna’s 16-metre private pier can accommodate larger yachts, offering a memorable arrival directly at the waterfront.

A FUTURE

Mataskär is being prepared, quietly, for a future that is consistent with its past. A small, low-density sanctuary. Twenty to fifty rooms. Private villas. A wooden chapel. A wood-fired sauna. A forest that will continue to outnumber everything we build.
