Remmarholmen Private Island

Just five minutes from the mainland, Remmarholmen Island offers the ultimate off-grid escape in the heart of Finland's stunning Porkkala archipelago. Designed by architect Joanna Maury, this five-acre private island combines sophisticated architecture with serene natural beauty, making it a dream destination for those seeking year-round tranquility.

The island is home to a main residence, guesthouse, and traditional Finnish sauna, all built with natural materials like granite, oak, pine, glass, and weathered Corten steel. Interiors reflect Scandinavian minimalism while emphasizing connection with the surrounding landscape. Wooden walkways of Siberian larch connect each structure, and expansive terraces ensure a peaceful retreat from any wind direction.

Remmarholmen isn't just visually stunning, it is also a modern sustainability showcase. Geothermal heating, a seawater desalination system, and an eco-conscious wastewater solution make off-grid living seamless. A sturdy jetty doubles as a helicopter landing spot, while thoughtful details like an outdoor shower, gas fireplace, and site-built furniture enhance the luxury experience.

Whether you are sipping coffee on the deck or relaxing in the sunken conversation pit with panoramic sea views, Remmarholmen promises peace, privacy, and polished island living, just a short boat ride from everyday life.
