The spa with the largest selection of saunas in the Baltics

Elamus Spa is the spa with the largest selection of saunas in the Baltics, with 22 different saunas and water features, plenty of sauna rituals and activities for expectant mothers, families, children, adults and senior ladies and gentlemen alike.

In 2022 Elamus Spa also became a member of the Aufguss association, which brings together the world’s best spa and sauna centres. As a member it has the chance to introduce Estonian sauna culture to the organisation’s other members. A Japanese delegation has already visited Elamus Spa, and a story about the visit appeared in the Japanese edition of Forbes. Membership also makes it possible to invite sauna masters from other countries – in January 2023, for example, rituals were performed by Ashley Fijma, a sauna master of Norwegian roots living in the Netherlands who ranks among the world’s best and is a truly beautiful woman at heart.

Sauna rituals are an experience in themselves

Sauna rituals hold an important place at Elamus Spa. Worth mentioning is, for example, the Bridge of Dreams sauna, where Jaan Tätte’s songs play as a background for relaxation, the interior is pleasantly woodland-like, and deeply relaxing sound rituals are held with singing bowls, gongs and bells. The Whisk Sauna, the Mud Chamber and the Lovers’ Cave are not far behind either. Female visitors’ favourites are in the Lovers’ Cave, where skin-moisturising and rejuvenating, wonderfully fragrant shea butter rituals take place. Every sauna has its own character. After the rituals, the cherry on the cake is the chance to jump into a cold pool or, in a snowy winter, straight into the snow.

What also makes the spa special is that you can sauna until midnight. So there is no need to worry if you would like to stay longer.

Elamus Spa is a rich sauna centre where you will find plenty of mythical saunas:

  • Mist Cloud, where relaxing bursts of steam create a mystical atmosphere and help you unwind.
  • Salt Temple, where rubbing with salt removes tired skin cells so that the skin is softer and smoother.
  • Mystical Riverbed, where it is pleasant to sit as if beside a babbling river and rest your thoughts.
  • Primeval Juniper Grove, where the essential aromas of juniper wood float in the air and help strengthen the body’s defences.
  • Aroma Empire, which fills the space with calming bursts of fragrance.
  • Dusk, which draws inspiration from the historic Estonian smoke sauna.
  • Whisking Honeybee, where you can learn the basics of whisking and experience the healing effects of sauna honey.
  • Japanese Geyser, where water of 42 degrees with healing properties flows.
  • Sanctuary of the Sauna Elder, which helps create a connection with the ancient sauna traditions of our ancestors.
  • Philosopher’s Stone, where wisdom flows for young and old alike.
  • Boat Sauna, which can be enjoyed on the outdoor terrace.

Spa21+ is a true sauna temple, comprising:

  • The Whisk Sauna, a traditional wood-heated steam sauna. The warm air currents from the living flame, together with humidity, cleanse mind and body.
  • The Bridge of Dreams is a distinctive place hiding a piece of nature along with aromas that caress the senses.
  • The Mud Chamber is a mystical place where you can pamper your body with healing mud from Estonian soil.
  • The Lovers’ Cave is a cosy and sensual place where your sense of time tends to disappear and the world seems a pleasant place.
  • In the Salt Pillar sauna it is worth breathing deeply and also scrubbing the body with salt, so that the whole body gets that pleasant feeling.
  • The silvery shimmering steam clouds of the Magic Nest fill the senses with calm.
  • The Japanese Geyser is a special bathing place where mineral water of 42 degrees with healing properties flows.
