SUURE-JAANI TERVISEKODA

NORDIC WELLNESS ON THE EDGE OF SOOMAA

Located in Viljandi County, near Soomaa National Park, Suure-Jaani Tervisekoda combines modern architecture with the tranquillity of Nordic nature.

A place where movement, relaxation and balance come together. Take time for yourself and enjoy warm water, soothing saunas and a peaceful atmosphere.

THE STORY OF TERVISEKODA

The atmosphere of our pool and sauna centre draws inspiration from the gentle shapes of the bog landscape, unspoilt nature and Soomaa’s distinctive fifth season.

Gently curving pools, natural colours and open views of the surrounding landscape create a setting where life moves at a slower pace.

Tervisekoda received the 2019 Annual Award of the Estonian Association of Interior Architects and was nominated for the annual architecture award of the Cultural Endowment of Estonia, in recognition of its thoughtful, nature-inspired architecture.

TIME FOR YOURSELF

A visit of up to 3 hours gives you plenty of time for an energising swim and a peaceful break.

Sauna bathing is part of Nordic wellness traditions, offering a moment to relax and recharge, both physically and mentally. Swim, unwind and enjoy a place designed for balance and well-being.

SAUNA WORLD

With a variety of temperatures, humidity levels and sauna experiences, everyone can find their preferred way to unwind.

SAUNA: AN ESTONIAN TRADITION OF WELLNESS

Sauna is deeply rooted in Estonian culture. For generations, it has been a peaceful, respected place to care for both body and mind. A place to pause, cleanse and recharge, where time seems to slow down and life feels simpler.

At Tervisekoda, the unhurried rhythm of Estonian sauna culture meets the comforts of a modern spa. Our Finnish-style saunas, steam bath, salt steam room and sanarium offer different levels of heat for relaxation and well-being.

Each sauna has been carefully designed, balancing temperature, humidity and ventilation for a comfortable, restorative experience.

Sauna bathing is not something to rush. It is a ritual of warmth, calm and quiet, with time to rest and recharge.

A sauna is a moment just for you. A quiet luxury that needs no words.

Good to know
  • Please keep the atmosphere calm and quiet in the saunas.
  • Exfoliating, essential oils and using sauna whisks are not permitted (except during special Tervisekoda events).
  • Listen to your body and take regular breaks.
