🏡 Villa Hiekkaranta is located on the shore of Lake Simpelejärvi, in a peaceful and scenic environment. The villa is spacious and comfortable, and is ideal for families, groups of friends and especially those interested in fishing. The cottage has a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and a sauna, which makes your stay comfortable and hassle-free even on longer holidays.

🎣 Excellent fishing opportunities on Lake Simpelejärvi
We have one of the largest and most affordable boat selections in Finland: 9 20 hp boats for 70 euros/day. 2 larger ones for 120 euros/day. The boats are delivered fully fueled to the cottage pier before your arrival. The boats have extra petrol and chargers for charging the batteries of the bow thrusters. Mika maintains the boats regularly and is quickly on hand to help if needed. The area is ideal for casting, trolling and other rod fishing.

🚤 Book the right number of boats for your group in advance. The last two weeks of May and the turn of September-October are otherwise quite a lot of choice.

🌍 Pajurantaholidayhomes.com specializes in fishing tourism and offers functional destinations with years of experience. Last summer, 60–70 international fishing groups visited the destinations, and many of them rebooked their vacations due to the excellent catch.

🌅 The villa's own beach and boats also allow for relaxation and swimming in the beautiful lake scenery. Especially in the evenings, when the sun sets on the lake, the scenery is magnificent and creates the perfect setting for relaxing in nature.

✨ Villa Hiekkaranta combines comfortable accommodation, top-class fishing opportunities and the peace of nature, offering an unforgettable experience for all vacationers who enjoy fishing and nature.
