Hanko Spa Park forms a unique villa area that grew up right after the establishment of the city in 1874. Most of the villas are still preserved with their grand towers, verandas and balconies in a scenic postcard environment, a sight to be admired and experienced. Few small towns in Finland can offer such a broad selection of restaurants as Hanko and each individual restaurant has its own story. Choose to dine with open sea views, in a courtyard brasserie or in the atmospheric old storehouses of the Eastern Harbour. Tempting seafood and locally sourced ingredients play an important role in Hanko kitchens; fried flounder, perch and lamb. Or maybe you’d prefer to enjoy the crayfish or the bountiful archipelago buffet?

Hanko provides many seaside walking trails and numerous outdoor activities to provide a complete refreshment for both body and soul, including sea kayaking, SUP boarding, winter swimming, sea yoga, surfing, horseback riding, tennis, Frisbee golf and trail biking. Pamper yourself with a horizon view sauna experience or with an all-inclusive spa package. In Hanko, having an unforgettable day at sea is easy. Visit a lighthouse, watch Baltic Sea seals or admire medieval seafarers’ historic rock carvings of the ‘Pike’s Gut’, a straight formed between two islands outside Hanko. During the summer you can take a day cruise to the tallest lighthouse in all the Nordic countries, Bengtskär. Alternatively you could visit island fortresses outside Hanko. Taking a seal safari allows a real close-up view of the seals living in the Baltic Sea.
