Scandic Waskia

On Vaskiluoto island, a seaside hotel steps from a sandy beach and a short ride (about 2 km) from the city center and train station. An amusement park and a large indoor water park/spa sit within easy walking distance, making this a top family-friendly beach hotel base.

Rooms are straightforward and comfortable with TV, private bathroom and hairdryer; some rooms include a minibar and bathtubs. Family and triple rooms are available with sofa- or chair-beds, and cribs can be requested. Expect clean, classic décor and easy beach access with sea-breeze mornings.

Stand-out draw: a large water park and spa complex next door (discounted entry tickets sold at reception). On-site features include sauna, 24-hour fitness center, children's playroom and free on-site parking. Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected while you wake up to shoreline views.

Modern conference and meeting facilities on the island. Fast, free 1 Gb internet and a 24-hour front desk make work trips easy.

In-house restaurant serves international and Finnish dishes, plus a bar/lounge vibe with music and dancing on some nights. A complimentary buffet breakfast is offered, and limited room service is available.
