Pedaja Holiday Farm smoke sauna, hot tub, and car sauna

Räpina vald, Põlva maakond, 64412

The smoke sauna belonging to the Pedaja Holiday Farm complex comfortably accommodates up to 6 people for steaming. For larger groups, vacationers can alternately enjoy the pleasures of the smoke sauna and the relaxing effect of the hot tub. For a change, the body can be cooled on the sauna terrace or in the nearby pond among water lilies. To enrich the sauna experience, we also offer a mobile car sauna — the car sauna is built into the trunk of a GAZ 52 car, which can be driven to a location suitable for the group.
It is possible to order sauna masters to perform smoke sauna rituals. This procedure adds a deep cultural dimension to the experience. The sauna pleasure can be combined with the entire complex holiday experience, making the whole event memorable.
The smoke sauna culture originates from the Estonian rural tradition passed down from generation to generation, and UNESCO has recognized the Võromaa smoke sauna tradition as an intangible cultural heritage. This means it is not just a sauna, but an experiential combination of culture, relaxing routine, and nature.

Uue-Saaluse smoke sauna experience

We invite you to experience an authentic, private smoke sauna adventure in Võru County, amidst the hills of Haanja in Southern Estonia. The Uue-Saaluse smoke sauna is located right by the lakeside, offering not only a sauna but also a refreshing swim. As a bonus, you can watch the short film "The Devil Comes to Sauna," which was filmed right here at Uue-Saaluse. In the sauna, you will be guided by an experienced sauna woman who conducts rituals and creates a mindful sauna experience.

We collaborate with the best in the field, and the smoke sauna tradition of Old Võromaa is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage Intangible Cultural Heritage list.

Jantsu Farm saunas

At Jantsu Farm, you can experience two different saunas: the primordial power of the smoke sauna and the pleasant simplicity of the plastic sauna. The smoke sauna is an ancient temple of purity and health, where both body and soul are cleansed, while the plastic sauna offers a quick and fun steam experience at the edge of the forest. Both types of saunas rejuvenate the body and mind for several days, making them a great way to relax or start a weight loss journey. The smoke sauna on the shore of the pond has been carefully constructed from massive aspen logs. The stove is made from manor-era bricks, and a half-ton of field stones provides the heat. The ceiling is insulated with one and a half tons of Mooste lightweight clay mixture. The plastic sauna is located at the edge of the forest, heats up quickly, and provides an authentic, old-school sauna experience with the right amount of water in a bowl — just pour it over yourself with a ladle! From the heat of the sauan, you can dash straight into the cool pond. Come and enjoy two distinct sauna experiences — the calming power of the smoke sauna and the playful freedom of the plastic sauna!
