| Muhu and Saaremaa Islands |
Regular ferries operate between the mainland and the larger islands, as well as connecting the islands, with flights from Tallinn to Saaremaa and Hiiumaa taking under 45 minutes.
Saaremaa Island
Estonia’s largest island is known as a wellness destination, with the main town, Kuressaare one of the world’s most spa-dense destinations.
Recognised on the 2020 Sustainable Top 100 Destinations list, the island is often visited for its geographic diversity and its natural beauty spots.
Hiiumaa Island
Hiiumaa is a year-round destination with a rural feel.
A third of the size of Saaremaa, it has a far more secluded feel, with the coastline popular with surfers, sailors, and swimmers.
Muhu Island
Located in the West Estonian archipelago of the Baltic Sea, Muhu is just a short ferry ride away from the mainland town of Virtsu and is connected by an ice road during the winter months.
With a local population of under 2,000 people, this peaceful island is ideal for those looking for a tranquil retreat.
Kihnu Island
Kihnu, is an ancient island of seafarers and fishermen.
Throughout centuries, the men of Kihnu have spent much of their time at sea, leaving the women as the keepers and carriers of the island’s heritage.
It has a close-knit community of around 700 inhabitants and is on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
