Apart from exist­ing ser­vices, such as the Nal­likari hol­i­day vil­lage, restau­rants, amuse­ment park and the Nal­lisport indoor sports cen­tre, the area has an almost kilo­me­tre-long beach, spa hotel and hol­i­day apart­ments. In 2024, the area wel­comed a new children’s amuse­ment park, a new hotel, expand­ed activ­i­ty and well­be­ing ser­vices, and two new restau­rants. The impres­sive near­ly one‑kilometre sandy beach has been dredged, and the entire sur­round­ing envi­ron­ment has been beau­ti­ful­ly upgrad­ed. A new accom­mo­da­tion and ser­vice hub has been com­plet­ed near the shore­line. The renewed Eden spa hotel will reopen in 2027. Sev­er­al plots and invest­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties are still avail­able for new oper­a­tors in the area.

Find sus­tain­able growth and attrac­tion in sea­side Oulu

Oulu is the biggest year-round tourist city in the north and the largest urban cen­tre in Arc­tic Europe with its 200,000+ inhab­i­tants. Oulu has enjoyed the high­est pop­u­la­tion growth in 20 years among Nordic urban regions.

We are a cen­tre of tech­no­log­i­cal excel­lence and a uni­ver­si­ty and high­er edu­ca­tion city, which also has North­ern Finland’s busy year-round inter­na­tion­al air­port.

An exten­sive events offer­ing attracts vis­i­tors to the city year‑round. In 2025, the largest events includ­ed the Nation­al Hous­ing Fair and the Kuninku­us­rav­it har­ness rac­ing cham­pi­onship. Dur­ing Oulu’s Euro­pean Cap­i­tal of Cul­ture year in 2026, the city will offer events, experiences, and attrac­tions for every sin­gle day of the year.

Inter­na­tion­al overnight stays in Oulu grew by near­ly 40% already in 2024. This strong tourism growth is dri­ving sig­nif­i­cant invest­ment into the city, with new hotels, an event are­na, and oth­er major attrac­tions rep­re­sent­ing hun­dreds of mil­lions of euros in devel­op­ment over the com­ing years.
