Spas
Saaremaa's reputation as a major spa destination may be a bit premature, but there are still some excellent opportunities for pampering, detoxing and/or sliding into a bathtub full of slippery coastal mud - a Saaremaa remedy for over 150 years. You'll also encounter some downright bizarre (some would say innovative) treatments - anyone up for a NeoQui Energy Cocoon? But whatever your yin, if you've come to Saaremaa, give a treatment a try.
