Holiday Villa Kareen Kajo is a high-quality log villa completed in summer 2026, located on the banks of the Muonio River in Kolari. This unique property is set on its own private plot of approximately four hectares, with more than 180 metres of private shoreline and direct views across to Sweden. Its peaceful location surrounded by nature offers the perfect setting for relaxation, while services are still within a reasonable driving distance.
The property consists of a spacious main building, a separate carport building, and an atmospheric riverside sauna with a sauna lounge. The main building features an open-plan living area, a well-equipped kitchen, and four bedrooms. The carport building includes two separate accommodation rooms with kitchenettes, and the sauna lounge also provides additional sleeping space. In total, the property has seven bedrooms and accommodation for 14 guests, making it an excellent choice for larger families, groups of friends, or corporate groups.
The villa has been designed to offer memorable experiences all year round. At the end of the day, you can relax in the outdoor hot tub under the starry sky or enjoy the heat of both the indoor electric sauna and the traditional wood-heated riverside sauna right by the water. The fireplace creates a warm atmosphere in the living areas, and from the private shoreline you can easily set off by boat to explore the landscapes of the Tornio–Muonio River. The beach has a sandy bottom and is also well suited for swimming. Reindeer may be seen in the area, and the surrounding nature provides a magnificent setting for both summer and winter activities.
A fast fibre-optic internet connection also makes remote working possible. The villa is additionally equipped with an air-source heat pump, washing machine, tumble dryer, and drying cabinet. The yard includes an electric vehicle charging point as well as a separate area for caravan pitches with electric hook-ups, two in total.
The location offers excellent opportunities for outdoor activities and nature experiences. The Tornio–Muonio River is Europe’s longest free-flowing salmon river, and thanks to the boat launch site, you can access the water directly from the property. In winter, the ski resorts of Ylläs are approximately 45 kilometres away, and cross-country ski trails and snowmobile routes can also be found nearby. Services in Kolari, including shops and restaurants, are located approximately 5–7 kilometres away.
At Kareen Kajo, all buildings and facilities are always reserved for one group only, ensuring complete privacy and peace throughout the stay.
