LIVING THE GOOD LIFE – AND THEN SOME Most summer visitors that come to Åland choose to stay in a cottage. Around ninety percent of Åland’s cottages have a sea view, access to a rowing boat and a sauna. In Åland there are cottages to suit all holidaymakers– from rustic cabins to houses with all mod cons. You can even rent a whole island with a cottage, boat, and everything you need. But of course there are other types of accommodation as well. Most of the hotels in Åland are located in the centre of Mariehamn, within walking distance of entertainment opportunities, restaurants, cafés, handicrafts, attractions, and the town’s two harbours. One exception is the HavsVidden Hotel, which provides top-class accommodation in northern Åland, on the shores of the Gulf of Bothnia. You’ll find guesthouses on the main island as well as some of the smaller islands. Campgrounds are scattered throughout Åland. Most of them are located close to the water. If you fancy trying something completely different, try spending a couple of days in the Hermit’s Cottage on Silverskär. A luxury-class hermit’s life on your very own islet. HEAD FOR AN ADVENTURE BY AIR OR BY SEA A ferry journey to Åland from Sweden or mainland Finland is enjoyable for the whole family. Stretch out your legs, enjoy the sea view, have a bite to eat, browse in the tax-free shop and let the kids discover the playrooms. Ferries to Åland depart from Stockholm, Kapellskär and Grisslehamn in Sweden and from Turku (Åbo) and Helsinki in Finland. The shortest journey time from Sweden is two hours, and from Finland four hours. It’s also possible to travel from mainland Finland via the smaller archipelago ferries from Vuosnainen (Osnäs) and Galtby. The fastest way to travel is by plane from Stockholm Arlanda or Helsinki-Vantaa airports. Åland’s airport is just five minutes from the centre of Mariehamn.
