Nowadays, many people pay close attention to their appearance and health. For this, those who have the desire and ability, try as often as possible to attend various anti-aging treatments, massage sessions, fitness centers and other similar institutions and events. If we consider Europe, then the Baltic region is one of the regions that is the undisputed leader in the number of tourists visiting it in order to improve their health. This article will examine the best spa hotels in Estonia and provide detailed information about them.
A bit of history
The founding father of a holiday in Estonia is considered to be a man named Georg Witte. It was he who in 1813 in the Kadriorg park, located in Tallinn, built a bathing establishment, which, in turn, very quickly gained popularity as a summer vacation destination with the royal family.
Capital highlight
Looking at spa hotels in Estonia, first of all, of course, we will stop our eyes on the capital's institutions. One of the best in Tallinn is Pirita TOP SPA, which is located on the coast of the sea. The amenities of this excellent hotel can offer guests the following:
- Twenty-five meter pool.
- Two baths.
- Three Finnish saunas.
- Infrared bath.
- Salt chamber.
- Gym.
As for the health and beauty complex, those who wish can visit the SPA-JET hydrodiffusion capsule, Vichy massage shower, use paraffin masks, undergo inhalation, cryotherapy, lie in pearl baths, undergo mud therapy and all types of massage.
Many tourists from Russia note a good menu in the hotel restaurant. However, at the same time, a rather large percentage of visitors were also dissatisfied with the spa, because, in their opinion, it remained in terms of its development even in the era of the Soviet Union: poor service, gloomy building design, lack of various amenities that are used modern tourists. In addition, many guests of the hotel note its large population, which also not everyone liked.
Finnish miracle
One of the most popular spa centers in Europe is deservedly considered Toila (spa hotel, Estonia), which is located on the coast of the Gulf of Finland.
In this truly chic place, visitors can be invited to visit the Wellness Center Orhidee, which, in turn, makes it possible to visit:
- Japanese, Finnish, honey, steam or aromatic baths.
- Hardening pool.
- Terme - public bathing areas, the decor of which is made in the ancient style (antique plots are presented on the floor, ceiling and walls).
Orhidee also gives its guests the opportunity to visit under the influence of a solar simulator, which helps the human body to produce vitamins, strengthen immunity, relieve pain in joints and muscles, and get rid of depression.
Toila: procedures
Like many other spa hotels in Estonia, Toila gives tourists the opportunity to get advice from qualified medical specialists who will help you choose the right set of procedures, including:
- Massages (manual, in a massage chair).
- Healing baths (with carbon dioxide, with aromatic oils, with Dead Sea salt).
- Rising or circular shower.
- Foot bath using magnesium chloride.
In addition, the resort has the opportunity to undergo therapeutic inhalations, massage using amplipulse, ultrasound, use magnetotherapy, cryotherapy, gas injections, pass all the necessary tests, attend therapeutic gymnastics sessions (both individually and as part of a group).
Gourmets will also not be left out: the spa hotel has an excellent restaurant. For golf lovers, an appropriate field is provided.
The feedback from visitors to this spa is mostly positive. Most tourists note the high quality of spa treatments, excellent service and food. Of the minuses, hotel guests noted only the small sizes of standard rooms.
In the neighborhood with Russia
Relatively close to the border with the Russian Federation is "Norus" (spa hotel, Estonia). According to tourists, this institution has good baths and an excellent menu in the restaurant.
The hotel offers tourists:
- Visit the fitness center Three Apples Spa, equipped with the latest requirements and having competent trainers in the state.
- Visit the water bath center, equipped with eight saunas, a sports pool, a children's pool, an attraction pool, a jacuzzi, an outdoor terrace, a bar, a salt sauna, an aromatic bath, and Finnish saunas.
For lovers of privacy, there is the opportunity to relax in a private recreation area, access to which have people over eighteen years of age.
For people who want to undergo anti-aging treatments, the Beauty Center opens its doors, offering a wide variety of massages (traditional, Swedish, with a candle, volcanic stones, Ayurvedic). In the same center, there is the only multifunctional cabin with Aemotio Spa shower in the whole territory of the Baltic States. In addition, a 3D rejuvenation procedure is provided, for which the eTwo apparatus of the world famous Israeli company Syneron is used.
According to many hotel visitors, they had a double impression of the rest here: on the one hand, the hotel has excellent food and procedures, and on the other, the room for accommodating a child is very small, the service in the restaurant is not always at its best, but in fitness the center does not always work all the simulators.
Meresuu
Meresuu (spa hotel, Estonia) is another one of those centers that will not leave anyone indifferent.
Wellness procedures of the center are focused not only on women, but also on men and even children as well. Here visitors can enjoy facial and body care, enjoy a massage, undergo medical procedures (visit the salt room and infrared bath). A sunny room and a solarium are also available.
For children, a special massage, massage baths with coconut milk, manicure and pedicure are provided.
Outside the hotel there is an aquacenter with a bath complex, where you can stay for unlimited time, enjoying relaxation and wellness. For outdoor enthusiasts, the Meresuu Sports Club opens its doors.
In the Meloodia restaurant, you can enjoy a varied menu throughout the day, which can satisfy the taste needs of any gourmet. Here you can order a romantic dinner or a children's party.
If we talk about the reviews of hotel guests, then among them you can find quite harsh statements related to claims regarding the inconsistency of these procedures on the official website of the hotel with their real rendering. Some tourists claim that individual baths or pools were inoperative. Also, the poor work of the Internet in the center was noted. Although in most cases, Meresuu, like all other spa hotels in Estonia, left a good impression on many guests.
Metropolitan center
Listing the spa hotels in Estonia, we note that in the very center of Tallinn, in the immediate vicinity of the parliament building, the Meriton Grand Conference & Spa Hotel is located. The second floor of the hotel is a spa center, which has developed an extensive program of various wellness services: bath, solarium, massages, baths. For children it will be a joy to visit the water park, swimming pools, pearl bubble baths.
An exclusive feature of the hotel is a two-person massage using red wine and a bathtub filled with white rose petals and cherry blossoms.
Studying the reviews of hotel guests, it can be noted that most of them liked the spa, although there are some tourists who did not like the hotel due to not always truthful information provided by the staff. They do not warn of repairs, malfunctions, etc.
Georg Ots SPA
This hotel, located on the island of Saaremaa, welcomes its guests with various wellness programs that are aimed at restoring the cardiovascular system, metabolism, eliminating diseases of the joints, muscles, gynecological and other ailments. Here you can use oxygen, mineral baths, massages (regular and using herbal extracts), a jacuzzi. It goes without saying that physiotherapy cannot be avoided here either: acupuncture, inhalation, wave therapy, ultrasound - all this can be used by hotel guests.
In conclusion, I would like to say that spa hotels in Estonia are a significant source of revenue for the state budget, and therefore special attention is paid to their development.
