Welcome to Aurahaven

Turku calm, framed by the Aura.

Aurahaven imagines a calm address near Turku’s Aura River. Pale oak, cool stone, soft sea-green textiles and warm brass draw on the city’s riverside culture and understated Nordic design.

Begin with coffee along the riverbank, visit Turku Cathedral or follow the waterfront towards Turku Castle, then return for a sauna ritual, Finnish dining and an unhurried evening in the lounge.
