Nature

Nature's paradise

Dense forests, wide beaches, juniper pastures and rare species you won't find anywhere else. In spring the birds return, and on the stony shores you might even spot seals.

Sea

Sea in every direction

On the island, the shore is never far away. Swimming, SUP and boat trips in summer, long warm days in autumn – because the sea holds the island in its embrace.

Local, authentic food

Island food is local, pure and authentic. The forest and the sea play a big part on the islanders' table – and at Pidula, the pizzas come straight out of the stone oven.
