Planetskier: There's a swimming hall in Siuntio!

Didn’t realize there was a community swimming hall in Siuntio. And I guess it’s pretty new, previously part of the closed hotel but since the hotel has been revived and the Siuntio community took on the spa part in 2023 … quite nice. Dated, but well done. Two 25-meter pools. Just few people, life guards will say hi unlike in Espoo or Helsinki, etc. Worth a visit.

The hall was previously called Siuntio Kylpylä (Siuntio Spa).

There's two saunas in the public dressing rooms, and a steam sauna that seemed to be not in use or perhaps decommissioned. In the pool area there was a jacuzzi that was also decommissioned. Still, a very nice pool area with the two pools, nice lights, and not a usual boring swimming hall setup. Well done.

As this is a hotel, they also have a private sauna to rent for 150€ for three hours, and there's a restaurant, with occasionally some programs. I heard about this place to begin with from my physiotherapist who had been there for a Valentine's Day event with some show and staying the night, etc.

A relaxing place, like the chair says ("take it easy"):

Interestingly, as part of re-opening the hotel, they rebuilt the second hotel building as an apartment building, and are selling the apartments, at an amazingly low price of 47 000 € for a one room apartment (22 sqm, converted from a hotel room). Interesting, with a nice swimming hall right next door. Of course there's not much around than the hotel. Still, much cheaper than living in Espoo or Helsinki...
