INTRODUCTION

Here at Ziedlejas, we believe that nature shows us the right pace. That it prefers flow over rush. The proximity of nature inspires calm – it heals and nurtures us, giving us strength. Therefore, people can be their best selves when they are in tune with nature and at peace with themselves.

Here in the North, Pirts (Latvian nature spa and sauna) has a special meaning. It does not begin and end with the touch of a besom. Pirts is a source of strength where we take consecutive and thorough steps to cleanse one's body and mind.

In line with trends in modern architecture and authentic traditions, we have created three different Pirts, where you can experience rituals, sessions and events:

  • The Glass Pirts boasts a contemporary design with calming views of natural surroundings
  • The Smoke Pirts exudes ancient traditions in its own secluded spot of nature
  • The Woollen Pirts, with its unique texture and spiral design

An excellent Pirts master is as important as the design and build of Pirts. Our masters make the place, and we are proud to offer their expertise. Pirts masters lead all rituals and sessions – at Ziedlejas every Pirts lover receives their attention and pampering throughout this process. We gather plants local to Ziedlejas and use them in Pirts rituals and sessions to nurture, revitalize and strengthen your body and all your senses.
