Sahanlahti Resort offers accommodation in many different forms (cottages, hotel rooms etc.), a great restaurang, saunas, traditional resort activities, equipment rental, and it also has its own guest marina with restaurant Rantamakasiini, as well as its own summer theater stage for events, concerts, theater, stand-up and what else! What you can’t find in Sahanlahti for your vacation, you don’t need.

Sahanlahti Resort has also a wonderful history that reaches all the way in 1764, when there were a big water sawmill. The operation of one of the oldest and biggest sawmills in the Saimaa region continued for almost 200 years and what is left to remind us of the sawmill operations, is only the old water gutters. Sahanlahti Resort is therefore a resort built around an old sawmill and by the way, the main building is the former sawmill manager’s old residence.

Fun activity open for everybody: At the same place, in Sahanlahti, you can aso find a great outdoor activity: A virtual audio story track ”A journey back in time in Sahanlahti”. For this, you need to download the ”Salmi-AR” application to your phone and then search that audio story name from application. The audio story starts in front of the main building (there is a pic of small red cottage) and tells about the history of Sahanlahti in such a way that the whole family, starting with children, will surely enjoy this story tour. The story round goes aroud the yard and it takes approx. 30min-1h. Or at least that is good to reserve if you’re just visiting this one. I enjoyed this story tour a lot and I also learned new things!
