The Full Story
About Estonian Zen Estates
Back in 1987, the owner of Estonian Zen Estates travelled to Estonia for the very first time, not knowing it would be a journey that would change his life forever. Upon arriving, something unexpected happened. The moment he set foot on the island of Saaremaa, he felt an overwhelming sense of recognition, as if he had been there before. It was the strongest déjà vu he had ever experienced.
The calmness, the untouched nature, and the deep, grounding energy of the island immediately captured his heart. From that moment on, he knew he had found something truly special. He began purchasing land, little by little, drawn by the serenity and the timeless feeling the island gave him; a safe haven away from the noise of the everyday world. Saaremaa became his personal escape, a place to breathe, reset, and reconnect with himself.
Now, decades later, he’s ready to share that passion with others through Estonian Zen Estates: a collection of peaceful, fully-furnished holiday homes nestled in the natural beauty of Saaremaa. The dream is simple, to offer others the same sense of calm, connection, and clarity that he found all those years ago.
Discover the Magic of Saaremaa
Saaremaa is Estonia’s largest island, known for its wild coastline, pine forests, healing sea air, and timeless stillness. It’s a place where the modern world fades away and the rhythm of nature gently takes over. You'll find ancient windmills, hidden beaches, mossy woods, and the kind of silence that can only be described as sacred.
Whether you're wandering along the shore, cycling through the forest, or gazing at the stars from your porch, something about this island stirs the soul. There’s a unique energy here , subtle, but powerful, that brings people back to themselves.
And yet, Saaremaa also has modern comforts and charm:
-
A beautifully maintained golf course for relaxing days outdoors
-
High-quality spas and wellness centers to unwind and recharge
-
Cozy cafés and locally-loved restaurants serving up fresh, Baltic flavors
-
Cultural treasures like medieval castles, lighthouses, and traditional Estonian saunas.
