Ac­com­mod­a­tion in Bengtskär light­house

The tallest light­house in the Nor­dic coun­tries and the most south­ern travel des­tin­a­tion in Fin­land wel­comes you to the outer ar­chipelago! The light­house tower rises 52 meters above the sea level in the north­ern Baltic Sea. The Bengtskär is­land is part of the is­lands of Åboland, and the nearest vil­lage Ros­ala is loc­ated 15 kilo­met­ers north of Bengtskär.

The light­house was built in 1906, and its massive stone walls have wit­nessed some of the most dra­matic events in Fin­land’s his­tory. On climb­ing the tower and reach­ing the top, you’re awar­ded with a stun­ning view of the sea. You can ex­plore the light­house keeper’s life in by­gone days, the battle of Bengtskär and ar­chipelago nature at the ex­hib­i­tions on the lower floors. In the spring, guests can watch hun­dreds of birds nest on the is­land and in late sum­mer on cloud­less nights ad­mire the gor­geous starry skies and the Milky Way. Guests stay­ing overnight will enjoy the leis­urely even­ing, the de­li­cious food and the gentle steam of the sauna.

The full board in­cludes a re­turn boat trip with other trav­el­ers from Kimitoön, guid­ing, meals, ac­com­mod­a­tion in the light­house in a private room and even­ing sauna. You can stay in Bengtskär on the week­ends in May and Septem­ber, and dur­ing sum­mer also on week­days. All trips to the light­house have a weather re­ser­va­tion.
