OUR STORY

"One beautiful day, sometime in the 30s, my great-great uncle, inventor and Suunto company founder Tuomas Vohlonen was fishing in Saimaa, when he accidentally ran his engine on the famous rocks of  Murhakorpi.

 

He decided to land on the nearest shore to assess the extent of the damage to the engine and luckily got his broken engine repaired. It wasn't until after the job that he really opened his eyes to the place where he had ended up by chance and found himself standing on a beautiful natural beach lined with pines.

 

That beach has been in our family for four generations now. This place has always been a place of introspection and rejuvenation for me and now it is that for our customers as well - this is truely my definition of heaven on Earth.”

Utula Nature becomes

a haven for rest and reflection

In the summer of 2020, we opened Utula Nature for the first time as a small bed & breakfast. Even then, there was a quiet sense in our hearts that something deeper was meant to grow here.

Summer by summer, the place has intentionally evolved toward its original purpose: becoming a retreat space that truly supports wellbeing.

Along the way, we have refined our facilities, practices and structures — shaped by experience and by the feedback we have received from you. Thank you for that.

Today, Utula Nature is a restorative retreat dedicated to silence and self-encounter — a place for genuine recovery. At the heart of the experience are nature’s wellness effects, stimulus fasting, multisensory presence, and the gentle support of a safe community.

Utula’s core purpose is to be a safe place to come and rest. A place where you can reconnect more deeply with yourself, pause to reflect on the direction of your life, and listen for possible needs for change.

An essential part of the retreat experience is a digital and speaking fast — and, if you wish, you can support your process with individual wellbeing treatments.

Do You Long to Step Out of the Rat Race?

Life is shaped by the choices we make. From our own experience, we know that the path toward a life that truly reflects who you are is rarely straight or easy. It may include exhaustion, growth crises, hitting your head against the wall, and many apparent detours.

Often, it requires courageous decisions — sometimes even choices that differ from the ideals of the surrounding society.

For us, a life that feels like our own means a slower, more nature-connected and values-led everyday life. One with space to breathe, to be present, and to receive the goodness life offers — with an open heart, not from a state of survival.

We want to offer you a space where you can exhale. Slow down. Feel your connection to yourself. See your path to this moment more clearly — and sense a direction that feels truly your own and genuinely inspiring.

Utula Nature is our natural heaven on Earth and we want to share it with you.

A warm welcome to Utula Nature, just as you are.
