Annu Huotari

Anna Huotari is the CEO and co-owner of Hawkhill resort.

​

3rd generation family-run resort offering villa stays and nature experiences on the edge of Nuuksio National Park near Helsinki. 

As Finland’s first official Sustainability Ambassador in tourism, Annu leads with a regenerative mindset—creating tourism that gives back to people, place, and planet.

​

Our generation cornerstone is sustainability and during last decade Hawkhill has transformed from a traditional cabin rental business into an award-winning eco-resort known for its sustainability and strong connection to nature. The resort holds both Green Key and Sustainable Travel Finland certifications. Annu believes responsible tourism is built on values, community, and long-term thinking—and she works actively to inspire others across the industry to follow a more sustainable, impactful path.
