Looking for a unique sauna experience?

You've come to the right country.

Estonian culture is a curious mix of the ultra-new and, well… old. Very old. Sauna is one of those esteemed ancient traditions that still holds a central place in the local everyday life.

Saunas can typically be found sizzling away in residential houses, apartments, hotels, and on farms, but you don’t need to have a built-in sauna in order to enjoy a good session. DIY and even portable saunas have been popping up across the country, allowing you to have a good steam on the beach or in the forest.

Here's our favorite selection of the most unique, unusual, or otherwise interesting saunas in Estonia.
