Why visiting small islands helps you truly relax?

It’s summertime in Estonia, the perfect season to explore. Sometimes you don’t need to travel far – even a short pause can set your body and mind on a new rhythm. Small islands like Prangli offer this feeling more than anywhere else. Here are just a few reasons why visiting Prangli helps you truly relax and why so many of our guests say that a day trip to Prangli was exactly the pause they needed in their busy lives.

The power of nature and silence

Instead of the rush of city life, the island welcomes you with calm and simplicity. On Prangli, there are no traffic jams and no constant background noise. There is one traffic light, yes – but it comes with its own story. You will find the forest’s rustle, seagulls over the sea, and a quietness that we rarely experience in our daily routines. This change of environment feels both calming and refreshing.

Slowing down on the way

Your island adventure begins already on the ferry. The trip to Prangli takes about an hour, giving you time to slow down and switch off from everyday concerns. As you leave the mainland behind, the tension starts to fade. Many visitors say the ferry ride was the first moment they noticed their breathing becoming lighter.

A sense of timelessness

On a small island, you rarely feel like racing against the clock. There are no long distances and no endless lists of must‑see attractions to tick off. On a guided island tour, you’ll see everything important without any rush, and still have time left to wander on your own. This freedom creates space to truly rest – without the guilt of feeling you’ve missed something.

Moments that become memories

After an island escape, people rarely talk about how much they did – they talk about how good it felt to simply be. Prangli gives you the sense of being far away, yet it’s close enough that you can return as soon as next weekend.
