Hanasaari Cultural Centre is located on a scenic archipelago headland where the sea is always close at hand.
The archipelago landscape of southern Finland displays clear seasonal variation in conditions. Neighbouring areas include the Koivusaari yachting harbour, the Sinebrychoff summerhouse in Karhusaari, and Keilalahti Business Park where the headquarters of Nokia and Fortum are located.
The name "Hanasaari" was already shown on maps of the area in 1706 in the form "Hana Hålm", originating in the old Swedish word "hane", meaning rooster. Birds such as the black grouse and wood grouse may have been spotted repeatedly on the island in spring. Nowadays the area is a haven for pheasants.
