Majorsgrund - Private Island
A private island with its own saltwater pool
About this hotel
Majorsgrund pushes further into private-retreat territory than any other property in this guide: a villa on its own private island in Malax, complete with a saltwater pool, sea views and a fully equipped spa and wellness centre including a sauna, open-air bath and steam room. Two bedrooms, a terrace and balcony give a smaller family or couple genuine privacy, while the outdoor play area covers younger children on days spent entirely on the island grounds. At roughly 30 kilometres from both Vaasa Bus Station and Tropiclandia, it's built for a family treating the water park as an occasional excursion rather than the trip's daily centre. The surrounding streets stay quiet in the evening, a genuine contrast to the water park's daytime energy just a short trip away.

Our take
I would suggest Majorsgrund Private Island to a couple or small family who want privacy and their own saltwater pool more than quick access to the slides. With two bedrooms, it is not built for a large group, and the drive of about 30 km to Tropiclandia in Vaasa means repeated park days take planning. Families who want to swim at Tropiclandia every day will be better placed in central Vaasa.
- ✓Plan a single Tropiclandia visit during the stay, given the roughly 30-kilometre distance from this private island.
- ✓Use the saltwater pool and spa on the days you stay on the island rather than driving into Vaasa.
- ✓Rent a car for the entire trip, since reaching this private island without one isn't practical at all.

Why guests love itMajorsgrund Private Island is a two-bedroom villa on its own island in Malax, with a saltwater pool, a sauna, an open-air bath and a spa area, about 30 km from Tropiclandia. It is a retreat first and a water park base second, so a visit to the slides becomes a planned outing rather than a daily routine. Its score comes from a single review, so the listing itself is the main guide.
