The dining hall of Ukonkivi seats approximately 100 people and offers an amazing setting for all kinds of parties. A traditional stone fireplace decorated with candles creates a warm atmosphere and on the terrace you can rest your eyes from the stunning lake view. We are very proud of our old wooden fishing boat that serves today as a unique buffet table for our guests.
Ukonkivi has its own fully- licensed bar. The restaurant is connected to a sauna- lounge suitable for 20 people, which can be booked in advance. One of the two saunas is a large traditional Finnish electric sauna, another one is a gentle steamy sauna. You may try both of the available saunas and relax in a cozy sauna-lounge by the fireplace. Outside under the starry sky there is a heated jacuzzi, where you can feel body and mind in full harmony. In winter you may see snowflakes and northern lights and in summer you may enjoy the hot summer day in refreshing bath. There are soft towels, slippers and sauna hats for you to spend a relaxing day in a traditional Finnish sauna with a touch of a luxury.
