Padaste Manor

Style: Contemporary Classic

Atmosphere: Secluded

24 Rooms

To people who hail from less, shall we say, climatically challenged parts of the world, the idea of an island getaway in the Baltic Sea probably sounds perverse. But before there were budget airlines (or cars, or trains) the people of northern Europe made do with what they had close at hand: places like Estonia’s Muhu Island, home to Pädaste Manor, a charming, intimate luxury hotel and spa.

The estate is five hundred years old, and in fact the whole island feels caught in a sort of time warp — while Tallinn is increasingly filled with cut-rate revelers on vodka cruises, Muhu is scenic, quiet, pastoral, largely untouched by the outside world. All of which makes Pädaste the ideal place to unwind.

With just fourteen rooms in the main house and eight suites in the carriage house (plus a stand-alone farm house for parties of up to six) it’s no sprawling resort. The accommodations are luxurious in an old-fashioned way — they do have all the modern conveniences, but in moderation, and are mostly remarkable for their sheer old-fashioned comfort. The spa, on the other hand, throws moderation right out the window — if, as the locals do, you use the “Siberian cold tub” in between sauna sessions, you’ll find your pulse anything but even.

How to get there:

In case you prefer to discover the Islands by yourselves during your stay at Pädaste Manor, we recommend booking a rental car. There is also a frequent and decent public transport to Muhu Island; a complimentary pick up at Kuivastu Port on Muhu Island can be arranged. Tallinn Airport is well connected to most Scandinavian and Baltic cities as well as to London, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin and Frankfurt. Kuressaare Airport at a 45 minutes drive has a bi-weekly connection with Stockholm and accommodates private planes. Helicopter charters directly to Pädaste can be arranged for.
