Relax By the Sea. Explore Nallikari’s massage services and sauna facilities.
Sometimes the best kind of travel is the kind that lets your body and mind slow down. In Nallikari, right on the shore of Oulu, well-being does not take any planning. You walk in from the sandy beach, leave the rush at the door, and let the professionals take care of the rest. The sound of the sea, a healing touch, and the warmth of a Finnish sauna make Nallikari a place where relaxation happens all on its own.
Nallikari’s wellness services sit within the same seaside area. Osfysio Wellness offers massage and foot treatments inside Nallikari Aalto, and the shoreline saunas welcome everyone from a small group of friends to a larger party. Everything is within walking distance, so a moment of pampering slots easily into a beach day, an overnight stay, or an evening out.
Osfysio Wellness, a caring touch by the sea
The heart of wellbeing in Nallikari is Osfysio Wellness. It is located in Nallikari Aalto, right by the sea, at Nallikarinranta 10, Oulu. Osfysio is a local family business that has served the Oulu region for over 30 years. Elsewhere in Oulu it is known as Oulunseudun Fysioterapia. In Nallikari, the focus is on relaxation and feeling good. Skilled hands, a calm space and the sea just a few steps away make every treatment a small holiday within your holiday.
Relaxing massage
A relaxing massage is the perfect way to slow down and unwind in the middle of your holiday. A gentle, full body treatment releases everyday tension, calms the mind and improves sleep quality. Tightness in the shoulders begins to ease within the first few minutes. Enjoyed by the sea, it feels like a little holiday within your holiday.
Foot care
Your feet carry you throughout your holiday, so they deserve some extra care. At Osfysio, our experienced foot care specialist always begins with a gentle assessment and takes care of your feet so that every step feels lighter afterwards. As our specialist puts it, foot care is a form of healthcare, but at its best, it feels like pure pampering.
Sports Massage
For active holidaymakers, a sports massage is the perfect way to support recovery. It helps speed up recovery, prevent overuse injuries and keep your body moving throughout your trip, so you are ready for another day at the beach or out exploring. It is the ideal treatment after kayaking, a fat biking adventure or any other active day.

Saunas By the Sea
Meriholsti
Meriholsti is a cosy sauna and get-together space on the shore of the Holstinsalmi strait, close to sea views and peaceful nature. It has two sections that can be joined through a connecting door, each with its own sauna. Between rounds you can cool off on the back terrace, and the evening carries on by the fireplace. Meriholsti is ideal for sauna evenings, team days, meetings and small celebrations for 15–20 people. It has its own kitchen, so you can bring your own food or order catering with the same booking through Nallikari’s sales team. You can also rent a wood-fired hot tub to be placed in front of the building.
Restaurant Nallikari Sauna`s
Ravintola Nallikari stands at the northern end of the beach. Its sauna world has two saunas: Sauna Puolukka for 20 people and Sauna Juolukka for 40. Both open straight onto a furnished cooling-off terrace. The highlight is a sculptural rooftop hot tub for seven, heated and overlooking the sea. Two private rooms next to the saunas are perfect for get-togethers or meetings. Towels, sauna seat covers and toiletries are included in the rental.
Nallikari Safaris tent sauna by the sea
The wood-heated tent sauna by Nallikari Safaris brings the steam right into the seascape. In summer it warms up on the sandy beach, and in winter it moves onto the frozen sea, where you can take a dip in the ice hole.
Eden spa returns to Nallikari
Nallikari’s legendary spa hotel Eden is coming back to life. Holiday Club will open the renewed Holiday Club Oulu Eden in the first half of 2027, bringing an experience spa, a new sauna world, hotel rooms and restaurants back to the seashore. Eden opened in 1989 as Finland’s first tropical spa and is a familiar, much-loved place for many locals. Now it returns as part of Nallikari’s year-round wellness offering. Soon you’ll be able to add a full spa day to your beach holiday, right by the same sandy shore.
One area, everything close by
In Nallikari, everything is within easy reach of the same sandy beach in Oulu. When you stay in the sea-view apartments at Nallikari Aalto, Osfysio Wellness, the Italian-inspired Bistoria Patio and the Nallikari Safaris adventure centre and equipment rental are all under the same roof. In our villas, such as the Poiju Villas, your own sauna and fireplace are waiting. The holiday cottages offer an easy stay for smaller groups, and at the campsite you wake up right by the sea. For dinner, head to Ravintola Nallikari at the northern end of the beach. The sea, peace and services are all in one place, ready whenever you are.
