Opened in 2002, the spanking new Tervis spa in Viimsi is a 20-minute drive out of Tallinn but continues the tradition of mega-health centres built along the coast. With fewer rooms and more health and beauty facilities than its main competitor, TOP Spa in Pirita, the Viimsi spa is aimed at the same basic market – visiting Finns crossing the Baltic for the excellent value world-class therapies, massage and even plastic surgery.

rnGuests usually book into the spa for week or half-week treatment holidays – but the hotel is open to anyone wishing to take advantage of the low tariffs and the great facilities. Like the super-modern, modish lobby rooms are decorated in fail-safe Scandinavian style.

rnGuests have free use of the 25-metre swimming pool and gym, as well as sauna and steam room. Downstairs in the lobby you can find most things you need this far from town – including a restaurant and pharmacy – giving Spa Viimsi the air of a health and beauty cruise ship.
