Perfect Spaces for an Atmospheric Retreat
Close Enough to the Capital Region
Hyvinvointikylä is a small countryside estate located in Pääkslahti, Vihti. Surrounded by beautiful rural scenery, peaceful forests, and charming log buildings, it offers the ideal setting for many kinds of activities. The venue is always reserved for only one group at a time, allowing guests to relax and connect without outside distractions.
Our spaces work best for groups of 5-15 people. In a small group, the atmosphere remains warm and safe — everyone gets a chance to unwind, recharge, and succeed in their own way.
The Main House – A Haven of Wellbeing
When you step inside our main building, you’ll immediately sense the calming presence of this 100-year-old log house. Its 300 m² of space can be adapted to your group’s needs, offering both open areas for shared activities and quiet corners for peaceful reflection.
The house includes a historic living room, a homely kitchen, a hall with an open fireplace, a cozy lounge, a sauna with washing and dressing rooms, two guest toilets, and upstairs accommodation for up to 10 people.
Accommodation – Privacy in the Heart of Togetherness
Guests stay in cozy sleeping nooks that give each person their own private space. The nooks are divided by light walls or curtains. Each nook includes:
-
A handmade futon mattress filled with natural wool by Porin Villa & Peite
-
White bed linens, a wool-filled duvet and pillow, and a made-up bed
-
A bath towel, bedside table, lamp, flashlight, and power outlet
-
Clothes hooks and a towel rack
Every nook offers privacy and the promise of a peaceful night’s sleep.
The Yard and Forest – An Essential Part of the Wellbeing Experience
Our yard invites you outdoors. Enjoy the diverse garden and the Inspiration Trail that winds around our property. The large outdoor terrace is perfect for open-air practice sessions — or simply for serving afternoon coffee in the sun.
From the yard, you can step directly onto the Pääkslahti Nature Trails, leading you through rich forests, scenic viewpoints, and lakeside campfire spots. Nearly 80 hectares of this forest are protected by the Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation, reflecting its exceptional ecological value and making it truly special.
Relax, Recharge, Thrive — and Take the Good Feeling Home
Hyvinvointikylä’s main building and the surrounding nature are made for rest and rejuvenation. We want you to feel that everything is well during your visit — and that the calm and inspiration you find here will carry into your everyday life.
Tero and Merja – your hosts – are here to help with anything you need.
We will take care of the facilities, catering, and, for some courses and retreats, the program itself.
Forest Retreat – A Place that Nurtures Creativity, Connection, and Wellbeing.
Guests leave Hyvinvointikylä refreshed and full of new energy.
“The nature-inspired Hyvinvointikylä offers a fantastic setting for both retreats and creative planning days with work teams. Alongside focused work sessions, the space and concept make it easy to relax and unwind – even with a shared meditation by the fireplace.
The catering and service were excellent, and the private sleeping nooks ensured great rest. Warmly recommended!”
