A pioneer in responsible tourism
You meet the magical atmosphere of Lake Päijänne, the deepest lake in our country. Breathe the cleanest air in the world in the silence of the wild forest. We created a sustainable paradise for this beauty. Already in 2019 Nukula was awarded the prestigious international Green Key Environmental Certificate for its extensive and long-term environmental work. Experience the responsibility of sustainable tourism as concrete ecological, sosio-cultural, and economic actions in Jyväskylä region in Central Finland. Soon, our sustainable path was awarded by Visit Finland with STF label.
We care about our environment
The values of Nukula are joy, respect for one another and Nature, truthfulness, presence in the now, a strong sense for ethics, and sustainability. We have ecological dry toilets that do not consume water, we emphasize recycling, and respect the history and hospitality of our old buildings. We enjoy the Silence, we celebrate the energy of the forest, and we embrace the lack of human generated noise in Nukula.
Nukula is great place for business too
Nukula is the ideal venue for one‐to‐one business meetings, HR workshops, presentations and think tank sessions that facilitate sustainable, long term relationships. Nestled in the seclusion of Lake Päijänne, the natural environment allows for the maximum level of interaction, capable of addressing the most delicate of matters, observing Chatham House Rule, or to engage in fun team building exercises. Nukula provides the perfect blend of business facilities and outdoor adventure for your next corporate retreat. And all this is done based on the principles of sustainable tourism!
Our values
“What a wonderful experience, to have so many Finnish treats in one day! Thank you for the incredible home made food, comfortable, cozy accommodation, and the best sauna I have had so far. The rocks at the shore to me was like being in a Lord of the Rings moment. The place is a magical gem in the deep Finnish forest and I wish you many appreciative guests in the future.”
“Thank you for your wonderful hospitality! Mike and I really enjoyed the experience of being in a Finnish home and having you as our host and guides. We so enjoyed the walks, the beauty of the forest and lake and the natural food and drink. We highly recommend Nukula Oy as a place of rest, nature, spiritually and friendship. Thank you!”
“Beautiful place with beautiful people! We have never expected that such places exist! Thank you for the opportunity to see and taste “your world”. It is pure paradise on earth!”
“A magical place, I wish to come back when the flowers are blooming. We visited in mid-May when there was still some snow visible. Berries from the local garden for the breakfast! Thank you for this awesome place we had the chance to stay!”
