Harjattula

A sandy beach with access to the sea invites you to swim in Harjattula. You can also swim here in natural waters in winter. If you’d like to combine your stay with some activity on land, you’ll find a signposted cycling route from the Aurajoki riverside promenade to Harjattula. The connection refers to Route 4, “Kakskerran kierros.”

Cycling, Golf and Other Activities

The cycling route is well maintained. Its course is the main point to consider when planning: it leads from the Aurajoki riverside promenade to Harjattula and is connected to the “Kakskerran kierros” route. This makes it possible to make cycling a focus of your stay without assuming a specific route length.

Harjattula Golf offers both a course and practice facilities. The course measures 5,885 metres from the club tees. The facility includes a driving range, putting, chipping and pitching greens, as well as practice bunkers. This allows for different types of practice in addition to playing on the course. Visiting players can reserve a tee time two days before play; online booking is available after the green fee has been paid in advance.

For more active pursuits, there is a padel court and a disc golf course in the centre of Harjattula. Golf, padel and disc golf each offer a different focus: if you’d like to centre your visit around one of these activities, you can take it into account when choosing your travel dates and planning your days.

History and Event Venues

Harjattula’s history dates back to the 13th century. Harjattulan Lasipalatsi is a distinctive example of the area’s architectural history: one of the six greenhouses built in Harjattula continues to serve as this event venue. Lasipalatsi is Harjattula’s largest and most popular event venue, suitable for celebrations of up to 250 people. The combination of a former greenhouse and its current use as an event venue gives the place a tangible historical feature.

Saunas are also among the options described for groups. Harjattulan Kartano’s Rantasauna Jellona has two hot tubs and can host celebrations of up to 70 people. The Kartanon sauna is located in the main building and has a private courtyard, a hot tub and changing rooms. It is particularly suitable for groups of 8 to 12 people. The different group sizes and facilities make it easier to distinguish between the two sauna options according to the occasion and group size.

Accommodation and Dining

Harjattulan Kartano’s manor house has single and double rooms for overnight stays. This is one specific accommodation option in Harjattula. Harjattulan Kartano also offers catering for weddings, family celebrations, evening events, cocktail parties and corporate events. The service therefore caters to occasions ranging from private celebrations to business events.

Restaurant Wanha Talli is located in a former stable and serves breakfast and lunch Monday to Friday. You can therefore take the day of the week into account when planning a visit. Rantakahvila Juho Kusti serves homemade Kustin-Jäde ice cream and fresh Munkki doughnuts. Alongside the various activities, this offers a choice between days focused on swimming, cycling, golf or other leisure activities, as well as visits to local eateries.
