Christmas at your own space
At Christmas, you can focus on the things that matter to you. At Kanava Resort, there’s no need to fill your days with plans or schedules. There’s time to be present, linger around the Christmas table, enjoy the gentle warmth of the Christmas sauna, get lost in a good book, or simply spend time together.
If you’re celebrating Christmas with a larger group, you can book several villas close to each other. This way, you can spend Christmas together while still having your own space and privacy.

Winter on Lake Saimaa
Winter brings a special atmosphere to Lake Saimaa, with deep darkness and peaceful silence. Away from the city lights, you can see the stars more clearly, while the winter landscapes invite you to slow down and unwind.
Kanava Resort is located between Linnansaari and Kolovesi National Parks, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the winter outdoors in Oravi. When ice and snow conditions allow, you can travel across the frozen lake from Oravi all the way to Linnansaari National Park. The marked winter route stretches for over 20 kilometres and can be explored, for example, on skis or on foot.
The New Year on Lake Saimaa
There’s no need to rush home after Christmas. Stay at Kanava Resort for a few more days and spend New Year on Lake Saimaa. A few extra days give you more time to relax, enjoy the winter scenery and ease into the New Year at your own pace.
New Year with your pet
Spending New Year in a villa, away from the busiest celebrations and fireworks, is a peaceful option when travelling with a pet. Selected Kanava Resort villas are pet-friendly, making it easy to spend Christmas and New Year with your pet.
