About Kemiönsaari
Kemiönsaari, called Kimitoön in Swedish, is a municipality formed in 2009 from Dragsfjärd, Kimito and Västanfjärd, with a little over 6,000 residents and a Swedish-speaking majority. Kimito is a traditional rural village with a medieval church, museums and the big grocery stores. Dalsbruk is the most urban spot, with an ironworks museum, a marina and a jazz festival in July. Kasnäs has a spa hotel, a marina and the ferry harbour for Rosala. Our homes are spread over roughly 30 km, so choosing the right end of the island matters as much as choosing the house. Nearly all have a sauna, most sleep around five, and very few sleep more than eight.

- Best for
- Sauna stays, sailing and boat day trips

Only for a quiet stay. Several museums keep summer hours and some ferries and buses run on set days, although Labbnäs keeps a hole in the ice for winter swimming.
