About the venue

Vilppulan huvila – a place where history, nature, and deep restoration meet. Vilppulan Villa is a rare retreat destination where Finnish history, pristine nature, and contemporary wellbeing work come together in a deeply meaningful way. Construction of the villa began shortly after Finland gained independence, and it was completed during the Finnish Civil War. Over the decades, the building has served as a wartime hospital and later as a school. Today, this historically significant villa has been thoughtfully transformed into a respected venue for wellbeing retreats and profound inner work. A natural setting that supports true restoration.

Surrounding Area

Guests can move freely and unhurriedly among the trees, allowing thoughts to settle and awareness to deepen. The forest supports presence and inner stillness in a way that needs no explanation only experience. Sauna culture is an essential part of the connection to nature. From the sauna, guests can step directly into the lake, both in summer and in winter. Winter swimming and cold-water immersion, as well as warm summer dips, enhance body awareness and help reconnect with natural cycles.

Traditional Finnish sauna treatments are also available by request. These natural, heritage-based practices draw on ancient Finnish wisdom and support physical and mental balance in a gentle, respectful way, enriching the overall retreat experience.The natural environment of Vilppulan Villa offers a space where the nervous system can truly settle, the senses can sharpen, and a deep sense of belonging to oneself and to nature can be restored.
