MERIHELMI RESORT IN KUIVANIEMI
Created by locals.
Inspired by the sea.
Aurora Sea Resort was born here, on the shores of the Bothnian Bay. Our resort brings together local people who know this coastline, its seasons and traditions by heart.
From the people welcoming you to those taking you onto the frozen sea, preparing food by the fire or sharing the rituals of Finnish sauna, your stay is shaped by people who call this coast home.
