Located in the heart of the Turku Archipelago, at the southernmost tip of Kemiönsaari, Ab Kasnäsudden Oy is a subsidiary of Ab Salmonfarm Oy, founded in 1995.

The entire company is run by the Liljeqvist family, now in its second generation. Wilhelm Liljeqvist serves as CEO, while his sister, Henrika Enestam, is responsible for the restaurant. Wilhelm’s spouse, Tanja Liljeqvist, manages the hotel and spa.

The family-owned business includes a hotel, a newly completed restaurant, a spa, conference services, a guest harbour, a caravan area, and a grocery store with a fishdeli, a café, and a bakery.

The Liljeqvist family started fish farming in the 1980s in the Hiittinen Archipelago. In 1989, Jörgen Liljeqvist and his family purchased a fish processing plant and named the company Ab Salmonfarm Oy. In 1995, they expanded their business by acquiring a bankrupt estate, which at the time included a café, a small guest marina, and a village store. Over the years, operations and production have grown in both the food and tourism sectors. The most significant investments have been the Kasnäs hotel and spa projects in 2000 and 2005, as well as the construction of a fishmeal factory in 2015.

Salmonfarm employs 56 people year-round and specializes in farming and processing rainbow trout and whitefish. Additionally, the company processes pikeperch, perch, herring, and char, with roe becoming an increasingly important product. Kasnäsudden employs 25 people, and during peak seasons, the entire group has up to 125 employees.

Environmental responsibility and sustainable tourism are the cornerstones of the business. Kasnäsudden has been awarded the Nordic Swan Ecolabel and the Sustainable Travel Finland certifications. Swan-labeled products and environmentally friendly practices are reflected in everyday operations.

For the Liljeqvist family, working in Kasnäs is a way of life. Their goal is to develop the service concept responsibly and with high quality, ensuring unforgettable experiences in a unique environment for their guests while building a sustainable business for future generations.
