From ÖÖD Mirror Houses
Nordic Maldives in Lehmonkärki, Finland, is a picturesque, 5-star luxury resort on Lake Päijänne. The concept was inspired by photos of overwater bungalows in the Indian Ocean. Elegantly paired with classical Scandinavian designs, Nordic Maldives has created its take on luxurious overwater “bungalows.” The resort consists of three ÖÖD Mirror Houses positioned on a specially built platform that extends out over the water, providing guests with unobstructed 180-degree views of the lake.
Located only two hours from Helsinki, Finland, when you visit, you will find yourself driving along secluded roads in the middle of a thick spruce forest lining the banks of Lake Päijänne. Hidden amongst the towering pines, this popular summer destination is a modern and luxurious resort waiting for you to visit and disconnect.
Upon arrival, you are immediately struck with the juxtaposition of land and water. The forest reflects from the mirror houses, and the lake's grandeur is seen just beyond. In addition to stunning views, the resort is equipped with relaxing sunbathing spots, a private jacuzzi, peaceful reading nooks, and means for fishing and grilling. Every corner of the complex is designed to nourish the souls and minds of each guest, whether a couple, a group of friends, or a larger family.
The warmth of the wood is a key design concept for the lakeshore oasis. Natural wood has been utilized in a slightly chaotic and irregular fashion in both the exterior and interior of the houses to imitate the surrounding wild nature. Mirrored surfaces and honey-toned cladding on the exterior create a seamlessly blended environment between nature and this modern resort.
Each ÖÖD Hotel location is designed to provide the highest caliber experience to guests, and Nordic Maldives does not disappoint. These beautiful and unique houses allow guests to disconnect from the demands of life and slow down, enjoying nature, seclusion, and loved ones on the shoreline of Lake Päijänne.
