Throughout time the sauna has held an important place for Estonians. It was associated with spirits and with several important calendar holidays as well as with vitally important events. Alongside the sauna, water is just as important \u2013 water and fire have been among the fundamental elements since ancient times. This may also be a reason why Estonia has so many saunas and spas. It can safely be said that the Estonian is a proper spa fan who needs no convincing about why the spa is a lovely place!<\/p>\n

      For the very smallest water athletes and enthusiasts we offer, together with mums and dads, the chance of swimming lessons with babies, or children’s swimming training for slightly bigger water lovers.<\/p>\n

      Something to do between enjoying the pleasures of the spa<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      For the year of the sauna, head of experiences Margit Kurn took on the challenge of reading every sauna book published in Estonian. Since Elamus Spa offers the chance to rest on comfortable loungers between sauna rituals or swimming, a book lover can grab an exciting book from the shelf to read on the spot. The idea came, incidentally, from customers who spend ever longer at the spa and wanted to refresh their minds between rituals.<\/p>\n

        Choices for those who enjoy food<\/strong><\/h3>\n

        Both sauna bars of Elamus Spa and SPA21+ offer drink and food for visitors with different tastes. Between the healthy meat platters and fruit selections you can also find various fresh salads, but also more traditional beef and chicken burgers and fries. After a proper sauna, the bar offers refreshment in the form of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.<\/p>\n

        \n

        Food and drink can be enjoyed at the tables beside the sauna bar, on pleasant and comfortable loungers, or why not on the terrace instead. The approaching summer allows visitors, in good weather, to get a proper tan on top of the spa experiences.<\/p>\n
