Stay
Sleep where the air is clean.
Estonia's stays trade lobby-bustle for quiet: restored manor estates, cabins with their own sauna, medieval-walled hotels and beach spa resorts — most within minutes of forest or sea.
ManorsForest cabinsOld-town hotelsSpa resorts
Island manor
Pädaste Manor, Saaremaa
A restored 16th-century estate on Estonia's largest island — understated rooms, a renowned spa and a restaurant built around island produce. The archetypal slow-Estonia base.
Forest cabin
A cabin with its own sauna
All over South Estonia and Lahemaa you can rent a forest cabin with a wood-fired sauna and a swimming pond. Fog on the pines, fire in the stove, nobody else for kilometres.
Lakeside
Sauna-house by the lake
Lakeside sauna houses let you keep the coolcation rhythm: swim, sauna, repeat, sleep with the window open to loon calls.
Pärnu · Estonia's summer capital
Stay by the beach in Pärnu
Wake up a stroll from the sand and shallow Baltic water. Pärnu's historic spa hotels and seaside stays put the promenade, beach and old resort streets within easy reach.
