Pellinge Marina: A serene archipelago getaway

Pellinge Marina, situated in the serene archipelago of eastern Finland, offers visitors a boutique resort experience. This resort combines Nordic architecture, local cuisine, and ecological luxury amidst the rugged beauty of Pellinge’s islands, providing a unique and tranquil getaway.

Pellinge Marina is a boutique archipelago resort, located in the northeast corner of Pellinge in the archipelago of eastern Finland, just a short drive away from Porvoo and Helsinki. “For years, Lapland has dominated Finland’s tourism scene, and the archipelago has perhaps been somewhat overlooked. But the stunning archipelago environment is going through a renaissance, where people are increasingly coming here for their holidays,” says Janica Ström, owner of Pellinge Marina.

Each of Pellinge Marina’s rooms has been carefully decorated with a soothing, harmonious colour palette to reflect the peace and beauty of the surrounding nature. “We use high-quality materials in our rooms, ensuring that every detail supports an ecological lifestyle,” Ström says.

For guests looking for a one-of-a-kind stay, Villa Berg is located on a high cliff and almost completely excavated from rock and offers a wonderfully unique setting for meetings or parties of up to ten people. The villa has two bedrooms and a sauna section, as well as a large terrace built on the edge of the cliff.

Pellinge Marina’s largest villa, Villa Pellinge, will be completed in the winter season this year. Villa Pellinge has a swimming pool facing the sea and will accommodate up to 13 people – but the venue can host parties of up to 40 people.

Rugged beauty of the islands

Built on the rocks of Pellinge, the resort seamlessly combines high-quality Nordic architecture with Scandinavian design, natural materials and meticulously thought of interior design. Pellinge Marina is accessible via sea or land – in which case the route includes an atmospheric trip on a ferry, which is free and easily accessible by car.

Pellinge offers travellers the quintessential Finnish archipelago experience; its two hundred islands showcase stunning rugged nature with cliffs rounded by waves, hundred-year-old pines shaped by natural forces, sheltered natural coves and sandy beaches. Perhaps more notably, Tove Jansson, the creator of the much-loved Moomins, holidayed on the neighbouring island of Klovharun, which is open to visitors one week a year.

“The beauty of the Eastern Gulf of Finland is undeniable, with its untamed and ancient nature, which makes it easy to fall in love with this place,” says Ström. Guests can rent SUP boards, kayaks, bicycles and electric scooters to explore the island – and in addition to boat and fishing trips, there are jet-ski safaris, museum trips, island excursions, and hundreds of cultural events throughout the year.

Island flavours

The newly-opened Bistro Pellinge, with its sea view and sunny terrace, is more than a restaurant – it’s a journey to the heart of the island’s flavours. “Whether it’s fresh fish from the sea or vegetables from local farmers, every meal tells a story about the unique nature of the archipelago,” Ström explains. The cuisine focuses on fresh, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, bringing out the authentic island spirit in every dish. In addition, the bistro’s bar serves world-class drinks from the cocktail menu. Bistro Pellinge also provides a stunning backdrop for private events, including tailored business conference packages and weddings.

For guests wanting to enjoy a traditional Finnish sauna, Pellinge Marina’s beach sauna elevates the experience to a whole new level. The beach sauna combines modern architecture with a traditional sauna, creating an experience that appeals to all the senses. The beach sauna has a hot tub – and with direct access to the sea, it can be easily followed by a refreshing dip in the sea afterwards.

With its blend of Nordic architecture, local cuisine, and ecological ethos, the resort promises an unforgettable escape immersed in the rugged beauty and rich cultural heritage of Pellinge’s islands. “Pellinge Marina is the pearl of the archipelago, an ideal spot to experience the atmosphere of the archipelago and our resort, which seamlessly combines natural beauty and modern comfort,” Ström concludes.
