Tallinn & the Islands
Discover the contrasting charms of Estonia on this Tallinn & the Islands escape, combining the medieval splendour of the capital with the peaceful landscapes of Muhu and Saaremaa. Begin in Tallinn’s UNESCO-listed Old Town, where winding lanes, gothic spires and colourful merchant houses reveal centuries of Hanseatic history. Then continue to Saaremaa Island, staying in the welcoming Grand Rose Spa Hotel in Kuressaare - an ideal base for exploring the region’s wild coastlines, traditional villages and ancient landmarks.
Saaremaa offers a wonderfully unspoilt setting, from the iconic Angla windmills and dramatic Kaali Meteorite Crater to quiet forests, medieval churches and the atmospheric fishing village of Koguva. With its mix of cultural heritage, natural beauty and a touch of island tranquillity, this holiday showcases Estonia at its most authentic and rewarding
Tour Itinerary
Arrive in Tallinn. Transfer to the hotel and check in for four nights.
Today set out to explore Tallinn. Tallinn's Old Town is divided into two distinct parts: Toompea Hill, where the seat of the Estonian government can be found at Toompea Castle, as well as the 19th-century symbol of the Tsar's power in Estonia, the grandiose Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Lower Town is where you will find the medieval part of Tallinn, cobbled lanes and alleys, and an impressive market square.
Make sure to visit Kohtuotsa and Patkuli viewing platforms for sweeping vistas of Tallinn’s red-tiled roofs, towers and walls set against the backdrop of the Baltic Sea. (B)
Perhaps book an optional excursion today and venture out of Tallinn to Lahemaa National Park. Lahemaa means ‘the land of bays’ and this beautiful coastal landscape covers a large area of protected primeval forest, small rivers and a number of hiking trails. Or strap on your walking boots and head out on a guided bog walk! The Estonians love their bogs – walk on wooden walkways around ponds, climb a watchtower whilst listening to stories from excellent local guides. (B)
Free day in Tallinn to explore at leisure. Perhaps take a short tram ride to the district of Kalamaja. This former medieval fishing village is now a hip, modern quarter, home to some of Tallinn’s innovative museums including the Energy Discovery Centre and the Seaplane Harbour, as well as bohemian restaurants, pubs and bars. (B)
After breakfast, transfer to the islands of Muhu and Saaremaa. Check in for three nights at Grand Rose Spa Hotel in the charming town of Kuressaare on Saaremaa Island. Surrounded by historic architecture and scenic seaside landscapes, this elegant spa hotel is a perfect base for discovering the islands’ natural beauty.
Spend the afternoon relaxing and enjoy the hotel’s wellness facilities or explore the town’s compact centre and medieval fortress. (B)
Today is yours to enjoy at leisure. Perhaps stroll historic Kuressaare Castle and its inviting parklands, browse local shops, or head to the coast for a peaceful beach walk. Back at the hotel, unwind in the spa with a choice of treatments, take a dip in the indoor pool, and experience traditional sauna rituals — a highlight of the island’s wellness culture. (B)
Another free day on Saaremaa gives you options: discover the island by bike, visit the Kaali Meteorite Crater, or simply soak up the peaceful ambiance back at Grand Rose. The hotel’s spa, saunas and tranquil lounges are perfect for rejuvenation before your journey home. (B)
