Pädaste Manor

Located on the southern tip of Muhu Island by the sea, this opulent resort is a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World chain.

And in August 2009 Pädaste Manor was awarded 5-star status, the first country hotel in the Baltic States to achieve this accolade.

The Pädaste Manor dates back to the 16th century and offers superb accommodation with a small spa centre and a restaurant.

There are 11 double rooms (1 double in the Carriage House, 3 deluxe and 7 superior doubles in the Manor House) and 12 suites fully renovated and adorned with antique furniture. Suites have private balconies with a picturesque view of the bay. There is also a newly-opened private farmhouse that offers luxury accommodation for guests who prefer more privacy. The restaurant provides wonderful dishes of contemporary Estonian cuisine which are served either on the sea view terrace or inside by the fireplace. Much of the produce is grown locally in Pädaste's gardens and greenhouses.

During the summer, the Seahouse Restaurant & Terrace offers a wide selection of drinks and a splendid à la carte menu.

You can relax in their spa centre with a full-body aromatherapy massage, volcanic clay mask or mud treatment. Also on offer is their Roman steam bath with natural herbal extracts and a Muhu wood-burning sauna with fresh birch and juniper keg. There is also a spa-terrace which is an ideal place to while away endless hours overlooking the bay.

If you are looking for a relaxing and peaceful break in Estonia away from the stress of modern life then the Pädaste Manor is a perfect choice for you.
