Field Notes are firsthand travel recommendations for and/or by our ECT Clubhouse members. Get the lowdown on destinations across the globe from travelers and locals alike. This week, Maarja Soidla, Brand Strategist at Iglupark, shares her notes from Tallinn, Estonia.
Tucked between city and sea, Iglupark offers a rare kind of escape—located in Tallinn, Estonia, it feels more like a spa or wellness retreat than a bustling hotel. It’s the kind of place where you can step away from all the noise without leaving the city behind. This unique balance is exactly why locals and visitors alike are drawn here: it’s peaceful, calm, and refreshingly relaxing.
Whether you’re winding down after a busy day or seeking a moment to reconnect, Iglupark is all about slowing down, tuning in, and finding a quiet rhythm by the sea that feels otherwise rare in the city.
More About the Property
What really sets Iglupark apart is how effortlessly it blends urban life with a deep sense of calm. Our minimalist private cabins provide a quiet sanctuary, while the fresh sea air clears your mind and sharpens your senses. Our saunas are at the heart of the Iglupark experience—a nod to Estonia’s rich and cherished sauna culture. In fact, many locals swear by their morning sessions here, making it a routine part of daily life.
A Spot of Culture
If you're after culture with a twist, Fotografiska should place high on your to-do list. More than just a photography museum, this converted industrial space in the Telliskivi Creative City blends art, conversation, and community together under one roof. The exhibitions are smartly curated, global in perspective, and unafraid to tackle the social, the political, and the poetic all at once. Meanwhile, there’s Tallinn’s grander cultural statement…
Food for Thought
During your time in Tallinn, after enjoying the sauna and bracing a morning swim in the sea, be sure to wander toward Põhja-Tallinn—one of the city’s quietly transformed neighborhoods. Karjase Sai is a local favorite, serving flaky pastries made with croissant dough and Danish-style morning buns, best enjoyed with butter and plenty of local cheese.
Looking for lunch in a different part of town? Then head to Rotermanni—a small but lively district. It's also home to one of the best sandwich spots in Tallinn…
