AINO PRIVATE ISLAND HOTEL

New Year on a Private Island

A stay at Aino for the turning of the year, where festive dining, sauna warmth, and Arctic stillness shape a quiet beginning.

As the year turns, the island offers a softer way to celebrate. Snow gathers around the river, candlelight glows against the dark, and the suites invite a quiet pause between what has been and what is about to begin.

At Aino, New Year is felt in quiet rituals: a festive dinner at Vuo Restaurant, the warmth of a private sauna, fresh Arctic air, and the rare stillness of a private island. A beginning shaped not by noise, but by presence, reflection, and moments made to linger.

Between the years

The island, wrapped in Arctic waters,
rests beneath the winter sky.
The river carries the old year in silence,
while warmth waits inside.

The New Year does not arrive loudly.
It begins in candlelight,
in sauna warmth,
in the first breath of Arctic air,
in the stillness of a place set apart.

A moment between years,
held gently by the island,
and carried into the year ahead.
