Set to open in summer 2026, Eha is a new wellness retreat on Estonia’s unspoilt Hiiumaa Island, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Here, guests embark on a journey of renewal, guided by a philosophy deeply rooted in nature and the rhythm of the seasons. Encircled by the Baltic Sea and steeped in centuries of local tradition, Hiiumaa is one of Europe’s quietest islands, with some of its darkest, clearest skies. Two-thirds forested, with wild beaches and rare biodiversity, it offers the space and stillness that set the tone for every stay.
With just eight spacious suites and three forest cabins, Eha has been designed to harmonise with its surroundings. Interiors balance organic textures and contemporary Nordic design, creating calm, light-filled spaces that invite stillness. Designed by acclaimed architect Tiit Trummal, with interiors by Studio Argus, UNT+CO and Vaikla Studio, Eha’s spaces echo traditional Estonian forms while embracing understated Nordic design. Spearheaded by leading Estonian talent, Eha’s retreats are designed to align body, mind and spirit, with the island’s unique five-season rhythm.
Five distinct retreat programmes – summer, spring, autumn, winter and springrise – guide guests through movement, nourishment, rest and reflection, fostering vitality that lasts beyond departure. Led by Estonian-born Wellness Director Kai Laus, Eha’s programmes blend Estonian and ancestral healing traditions with evidence-based practices. From thermal rituals, nature immersion and breath-led movement to foraging and reflective sessions, each has been curated to meet the season. Also inspired by nature is the sound journey at Eha, curated by Olo, specialists in immersive audio experiences. Bespoke soundscapes will capture the true essence of the island to influence an even deeper connection to nature and to oneself.
Co-Founder Eva Maran says: “Eha celebrates the essence of the Estonian people – renowned for their deep respect for nature, quiet strength and enduring sense of community. Drawing on a heritage shaped by both resilience and resourcefulness, Estonians have long embraced the harmony of the seasons, the restorative power of the forest and a lifestyle that values simplicity without compromise.”
