Surrounded by sprawling pine forests and bordered by the glistening Baltic Sea, Eha is preparing to set the tone for Nordic wellness, inviting visitors to reconnect with both self and land through immersive retreat programmes shaped by a unique five-season calendar.
Wellness at Eha is not prescriptive, it’s elemental and deeply personal. Every guest journey begins with a personal wellness assessment, forming the foundation for a tailored experience that evolves throughout the stay. Treatments draw inspiration from Nordic and Estonian ancestral wisdom, blending natural materials and modern science to restore balance on every level. From Tibetan singing bowl massages that harmonise body and breath, to whole-body peat wraps drawn from the island’s mineral-rich wetlands, each ritual is an act of reconnection – to self, to season, and to the land. Hydrotherapies, sauna traditions, and breathwork are integrated to calm the nervous system and attune the body to the elements. Evenings conclude with sound baths, journaling, and reflective meditations, offering time to settle, release, and integrate the day’s experiences.
Culinary wellness is a cornerstone of Eha’s philosophy. Guided by Green Michelin Star chef Peeter Pihel, Eha’s menus celebrate the natural rhythm of the seasons, drawing ingredients from the retreat’s organic kitchen garden, local growers, and foragers across Hiiumaa. Every dish is rooted in provenance, purpose, and care, crafted to support digestion, energy, and inner balance while reflecting Estonia’s deep connection to nature. From wild seaweed and fermented forest berries to garden herbs and seasonal vegetables, food at Eha is a sensory journey of nourishment and renewal, designed to align with the body’s needs and the island’s quiet abundance.
