And here’s something for the record books, sauna like it hot in Estonia.
We all know our Baltic Buddies like little better than getting all steamed up in a sauna.
And to prove it Estonians and their Finn friends have forced their way into the record books.
With Guinness now endorsing their bid at ‘most photos of people in a sauna on Facebook in one hour’.
On June 8, International Sauna Day, 3,909 photos were uploaded to the Facebook group within an hour.
Of which 3,602 met the Guinness rules and were counted towards the record.
Pictures were posted from 47 countries and 6 continents: Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North and South America.
Smokin’ saunas
All of which goes to prove how much we all love a sauna around the world.
Now we’ve shared here, and will again, the Finn and games you can have in a sauna in Suomi.
And are happy to show you what’s hot now in Estonia.
And their sauna rituals and experiences.
The Estonian experts have been especially keen to steer us in the direction of smoke saunas at Pilguse Residency.
Pilguse Residency at the Pilguse Manor House sits on 90 hectares of land, an hour west of Tallinn, and dates back to 1558.
And boasts the ÖÖD Mirror Cabins from €322.
Bespoke for yourself
All bespoke and fitted with fireplaces, kitchen and private decking and bbq.
As well as the use of their wood burning heated green house by the sun deck and outdoor hot tub.
And, of course, the Iglu saunas.
While for equestrian fans Pilguse also offers horse-riding expeditions.
Now for those of a Celtic persuasion (guilty) the bogs are in our blood.
Bog high standard
And we are naturally drawn to the bog spa at Villa Pillapalu.
In Villa Pillapalu in the middle of abundant forests and beautiful bogs by the Piibe road.
Only 50kms away from Tallinn.
Villa Pillapalu guests will get pampered in the RabaSpa.
And depending on the number of guests, you can choose between several different villas.
Ten-person spacious villa, eight or ten-person Scandinavian-style log cabin.
Six-person log cabin for smaller groups, or 18-person cabin glass houses with log houses.
So if you want to just get away with two other couples then that’ll be €290 per night.
While snowshoeing and bicycle tours are also on offer.
As well as swamps and kayak tours on the Soodla reservoir.
So whether smoke or bog sauna like it hot in Estonia, and the hotter the better.
Our Finnair friends offer a best price round trip from London to Tallinn for £217.
