For children and youth

Youth Centre Villa Elba is located on the beautiful Baltic Sea coast, just four kilometers from the center of Kokkola. Here, the forest, shoreline and open sea create an inspiring setting for learning, exploring and being together. We offer engaging programs, delicious food and cozy accommodation surrounded by nature. 

As one of Finland’s national youth centres, supported and supervised by the Ministry of Education and Culture, our mission is to help young people grow, participate and feel safe. Villa Elba provides an inviting environment where young people and educators can experience meaningful activities, try new things and build confidence. We host youth camps year-round, including several international camps that bring together young people from all over Europe.

Next to our centre lies a protected bird sanctuary with accessible nature trails—perfect for relaxing walks, outdoor learning and connecting with the environment. Many of our programs highlight sea experiences, environmental education and hands-on learning outdoors.

Villa Elba is also a popular destination for adults. We offer comfortable and functional facilities for meetings, training days and events. With five different spaces accommodating groups from 2 to 190 people, Villa Elba provides an environment where work, wellbeing and nature come together seamlessly. Organizations can also book our popular wellbeing and team-building activities.

Come and enjoy Villa Elba’s warm atmosphere and discover our unique blend of sea adventures and forest tranquillity.
