An Unforgettable Retreat Awaits at Ilmatar Airplane Lodge in the Finnish Countryside
For those seeking a truly unique getaway, the Ilmatar Airplane Lodge promises an extraordinary experience amidst the serene Finnish countryside, just a short 30-minute drive from Jyväskylä. What began as a visionary project led by a group of young entrepreneurs has transformed a decommissioned passenger airplane into a remarkable lodging destination. After transporting the aircraft to its idyllic rural setting and completing the necessary renovations, Ilmatar Airplane Lodge officially opened its doors in June 2024.
This innovative lodge offers a private accommodation complex that can host up to eight guests, featuring three distinctive lodging options: travelers can choose between a luxurious private jet, a villa inspired by an air traffic control tower, or the Skyline Granary room. Beyond these whimsically designed spaces, Ilmatar boasts a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy lounge perfect for movie nights, and a welcoming terrace ideal for leisurely barbecues with family and friends. Traditional Finnish yard games are also available, adding an authentic touch to this extraordinary holiday experience.
For those seeking relaxation, Ilmatar offers two unique saunas and an outdoor jacuzzi, ensuring tranquility amidst the natural beauty surrounding the lodge. Guests can unwind in the wood-burning sauna nestled within the air traffic control tower or opt for a soak in the airplane sauna, ingeniously repurposed from the plane’s fuselage.
With its blend of adventure, comfort, and Finnish charm, Ilmatar Airplane Lodge is more than just a place to stay—it’s a journey into a world where creativity meets relaxation.
