About

A pirts-led wellness retreat in the forests near Sigulda, known for three architecturally distinct bathhouses. There is a glass pirts framing the woods, a blackened smoke pirts, and an award-winning wool-lined sauna. Sessions are guided by pirts masters in the Latvian ritual tradition, with cold plunges and a swimming pond between rounds.

Good to know

  • Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
  • Direct lake access: most visitors plunge straight into the water between sauna rounds.
  • Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
  • Wood-fired heat: softer, heavier löyly than electric, and the smell of the stove is part of the room.
  • Set in nature, away from the city, so bring a car or plan the transfer in advance.
