Get active on Ruissalo Island

Ruissalo Island offers the perfect setting for both peaceful walks and more active nature adventures. Even from the spa’s beach, you can enjoy breathtakingly beautiful views of the famous Airisto. Our guests can also borrow walking poles free of charge from the information desk in the pool area.

Almost the entire island of Ruissalo is a Natura nature conservation area, and there are no fewer than 20 km of nature trails criss-crossing the area. Ruissalo’s nature trails wind their way through pastures, old fields, wild meadows, oak forests and sandy beaches. Along the trails, you can breathe in the fresh sea air and explore the secrets of the oak forests. Romantics will be particularly enchanted by the beautiful gardens and 19th-century lace villas that adorn the shores of Ruissalo.

During your holiday, you can also explore Ruissalo’s popular cultural fitness trails. You can also pop into the University of Turku’s Botanical Garden and explore its fascinating greenhouses and garden areas.
