About this stay

The beautiful and idyllic village of Soppela, just ten kilometers from the center of Kemijärvi, invites tourists to the Soppela-Seva Retreat Center, a summer café and a lake front Seva Beach "boutique-style" camping site . The spiritual traditions of Lapland and its natural purity, silence and space serve as an environment for events with soft values and cozy accommodation choices in former school class rooms as well at a camping site.

The campsite additionally includes training and course facilities, a banquet-sport hall and sauna and shower facilities and a kitchen for private parties and events.

There is a sandy beach and playground nearby, and the area is ideal for families with children. The village of Soppela is located centrally between the town center of Kemijärvi and Suomutunturi (Suomu Mountain and Ski Center).
