Lake Oulu Luxury Hideouts was founded in May 2025. Today, we offer six unique, high-quality privately owned holiday villas and one private hotel. Each destination is special - a personal dream hideaway created by its owner, now shared with travelers seeking authenticity and tranquility. Luxury Hideouts opens the door to the genuine spirit of the Lake Oulujärvi and Rokua region. We act as a bridge between guests, local cottage owners, small businesses, and communities, allowing every visitor to experience life like a local. Together, we promote responsible tourism that supports the vitality, culture, and nature of the area. For us, luxury means freedom of choice - whether you seek perfect peace or unforgettable experiences and indulgence. Choose your dream destination from our stunning collection and design your stay exactly as you wish. For the adventurer, we offer equipment rentals and tips for discovering the region’s hidden gems. If you prefer a ready-made itinerary, we can arrange guided tours and authentic local experiences. Enjoy food your way - cook for yourself, have lunch out, or order a fine dining dinner delivered to the privacy of your villa. We know the region well and can help you find local events and happenings during your stay, ensuring you experience the very best of our home region. Easy to arrive - hard to leave. Our destinations are located only about an hour’s drive from Oulu and Kajaani airports. You can rent a car at the airports.

Villa Lichen takes its name from the lichen that grows on its roof, gently binding the villa to the surrounding forest. This architectural gem blends seamlessly into the silver-tinted lichen woods, so that from the very moment you arrive, you feel part of something truly special. Set deep within an expansive forest, far from neighbors, the villa offers a private lakeshore and its own pier – a perfect hideaway for stillness, relaxation, and quiet moments with nature. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the beauty and atmosphere of Rokua’s unique landscapes directly into the living space. Nestled on the crystal-clear shores of Lake Vaulujärvi, Villa Villa Lichen provides complete privacy. The pure water of the lake invites you to take a refreshing swim in summer and offers unforgettable experiences throughout the year. You can fish with a rod or fly in the summer or try ice fishing during the winter months. Guests are pampered with an authentic Finnish wood-heated sauna, a wood-fired hot tub and a covered terrace where you can grill and enjoy long, atmospheric evenings surrounded by nature. Down by the shore, your private campfire site awaits – a place where time seems to stand still as the flames dance in harmony with the forest’s silence. Villa Lichen is a hideout of nature, beauty and experiences. Here, authenticity, peace, and elegance come together in a way that leaves a lasting imprint on your heart. As a guest at a private holiday villa, you also have the opportunity to enjoy Luxury Hideouts’ exclusive services, such as fine dining, host service, a premium welcome package, and hotel-quality pressed bed linens. When making your booking, you can also request optional services such as final cleaning or bed linens. With our Host service, you’ll receive local knowledge and practical assistance even before you arrive. Tell us more about your wishes, and we’ll help you plan a truly unique holiday experience.
