Kalev Spa Hotel & Water Park

Kalev Spa Hotel & Water Park is a four-star hotel and leisure complex at Aia 18, on the edge of Tallinn's Old Town in Harju County, Estonia. It is about a five-minute walk from the medieval centre, which makes it one of the few places in the capital where a swim, a sauna session and sightseeing can be combined without a car. The setting is a large, bright, family-oriented water park rather than a hushed boutique retreat, with a separate adults-only sauna zone for those who want a quieter experience. The water park is built around a 50 metre pool and a range of slides, and it is the best-known facility of its kind in Tallinn. Opening hours vary by season: from 1 September to 19 June the park opens at 6:30 on weekdays and 8:00 at weekends, closing at 22:00, while from 20 June to 31 August it opens daily from 8:00. Last admission is at 20:30 outside summer. The Sauna Oasis, restricted to visitors aged 18 and over, is open daily from 10:00 to 22:00 and groups several heat experiences: a steam or aroma sauna at roughly 45-50 C, a sanarium, a salt-lake sauna and Finnish saunas at 80-90 C. Free sauna rituals are scheduled from Friday to Sunday, giving a taste of the Estonian and Nordic bathing tradition in which heat, cold plunges and rest are alternated. Massage and beauty treatments are offered by the hotel spa and are booked by phone on +372 649 3350. Tickets are normally sold by duration, typically three hours, and an older third-party listing put adult entry at EUR 14-17, with the Sauna Oasis charged extra; current prices are published on the venue's own price list. No reservation is usually needed for the water park itself, whereas treatments should be arranged ahead. The water park phone is +372 649 3370 and the hotel is reached on +372 649 3300. Some sources give the hotel entrance as Kanuti 2, so visitors may wish to confirm the entrance before arriving.
