Suites are marketed especially to couples and international travelers. The area will be completed next autumn.
Twenty new accommodation suites will be built in Kuopio in Northern Savo during the summer. The wooden suites rise next to Saaristokatu on the Kallavesi beach, close to the tourist center Saana.
A lot of gravel has been driven into the area for the beach suites, and the actual construction will start in May. It is believed that the landscape suites coming to the beach of Kallavesi will also be of interest to foreign tourists.
The Suites, designed especially for couples, are 27–35 square meters in size, and the buildings allow you to swim directly into Kallavete.
Raimo Sonninen says that he thought about some kind of tourism pattern for the beach in the area already in the 2000s, when boat factory halls were built on Siikaranta.
As the boating business has changed, the halls are now being used for other purposes, and in a few years, a large number of players in the sports industry have come to the area.
Siikaranta has, among other things, padel courts, a gym and a training hall used by Kuopio Reippaa Gymnasts and Kuopio Circus.
Models and ideas have been sought from other parts of Finland
Landscape suites have been thoroughly planned and Raimo Sonninen has carefully visited several tourist destinations around Finland and Lapland.
– This will be a bit of a luxury place, but the suites are meant for everyone. I believe that the unique place will also interest international tourists. We will adjust the price level along the way as it is done in the world, Raimo Sonninen says.
The idea is to offer active vacations just a few kilometers from the center of Kuopio. Several different sports facilities are available nearby. You can also visit the lake scenery of Kallavesi by walking on the nearby island of Pölhö.
Entrepreneur Raimo Sonninen has his next tourism project firmly in mind. The hotel already planned next to the tourist center Saana is still waiting on the desk. The six-story hotel is planned to be built in the next few years.
