Laulasmaa

• Laulasmaa Beach has white sand and is surrounded by a pine forest.
• The beach owes its name to the local so-called singing sands.
• The Laulasmaa kahe ranna matkarada hiking trail is 7 km long.
• Laulasmaa Surfiklubi offers opportunities for kitesurfing; its surf spot is free of stones.
• The Arvo Pärt Centre is dedicated to the composer’s music and world of thought.

The beach is clearly characterised by its white sand and the adjacent pine forest. Added to this is the local peculiarity of the so-called singing sands, to which the name Laulasmaa also refers. Those who want to combine their time by the water with a natural setting will find a specific reason to travel here, without reducing the place to an ordinary beach holiday.

For planning your trip, this combination of beach and forest provides a useful starting point. You can first decide whether the beach itself, the landscape or an active pursuit should be the focus. You can then choose a hotel in Laulasmaa based on this personal priority.

The 7 km-long Laulasmaa kahe ranna matkarada hiking trail is a clearly defined route suitable for planning a day out. You should take its length into account when allocating your time on site and combining other interests with the trail.

Another option is the first section of the Laulasmaa–Keila-Joa–Lohusalu hiking trail. This part is 5 km long and runs mostly through the forest on a safe shared pedestrian and cycle path. This provides two differently named trail options with specific route lengths.

Laulasmaa Surfiklubi offers opportunities for kitesurfing. The associated surf spot is free of stones. This information is useful if you are choosing Laulasmaa specifically with water sports in mind.

The Arvo Pärt Centre is open to everyone interested in Arvo Pärt’s music and world of thought. The first permanent exhibition introduces visitors to the composer’s world of thought and explores his ideas about silence, word and sound, developed over several decades. The Centre adds a cultural focus to the landscape and beach themes, one that can be considered independently of any particular travel activity.

The history of the area also reaches further back. Laulasmaa Manor was founded in 1787. The first written references to the village of Laulasmaa date from the 17th century. According to historical records, therapeutic baths were already offered at the manor’s bathhouse in 1813. These historical connections give trip planning an additional perspective, without deriving any present-day offerings from them.

The beach and pine forest favour a nature- and water-focused stay, while the two trails suit planning with specific routes built in, and the Arvo Pärt Centre and the manor’s history add a cultural accent. Choose your accommodation based on whether you want to focus on the beach and nature, hiking trails, kitesurfing or culture centred around Arvo Pärt.
