What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Iglupark offers a distinctly Estonian take on city living, where saunas, sea views, and smart design meet on a stretch of Tallinn’s revitalized waterfront.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Seaplane Harbour sits right next door. Noblessner's repurposed industrial halls house independent bistros and galleries along the marina.

The rooms
Compact shingle cabins look out across the Gulf of Tallinn through wide windows, each opening onto a private wooden terrace.
The saunas
Five wood-clad saunas sit along the boardwalk, with private hot tubs and sea ladders for cold water dips.
The spa
Sauna masters lead traditional Estonian rituals, sharing folk stories as they whisk bathers with birch or oak branches.
At the table
Iglubaar pours beer, cider, and hot drinks on the terrace, sending out snack boards to sauna-goers and guests.
How it began
Sauna maker Iglucraft built the outpost at Noblessner, a 1912 shipyard that once constructed submarines for Tsarist Russia.
