Largely situated between two lakes, Ruotsalainen and Konnivesi, in the eastern part of the Päijänne Tavastia region, Heinola was once known as a “spa town.” As such, the town still has a great many spa activities in which to engage. There is a place called Sauna 1.0 that is a public sauna built on the beach next to a volleyball court. It is your basic cabin on the lake with sauna stones within. There is also Nowene, a grand spa with smoke and infrared saunas, a hot tub, swimming pools, meditation music, and a relaxation tent, all of which you can enjoy after hiking on Sataoja nature trails in the woods nearby. If you’re planning a spa visit, be sure to read on for the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Heinola, Finland.
