Lotte Village is a clear focus for travellers who want to combine many different attractions during their stay. The offering includes more than 100 attractions. Several adventure courses are available in the adventure park in the pine forest. The elements mentioned include a spider web for climbing, a zip line and a basket that is pulled up into a tree. This allows you to add an active experience to your stay in Reiu without limiting your plans to just one attraction.

In addition to Lotte Village, families can also consider Reiu Beach as an excursion destination. For travelling to Lotte Village, the “Lottemaa” bus stop is located directly by the new four-lane road. New footpaths and cycle paths lead directly to the entrance on both sides.

The Reiu–Raeküla trail network offers three marked distances: 3 km, 5 km and 10 km. You can use these routes for walking, running and mountain biking. The different distances make it easier to choose according to the planned length of your day, without requiring you to assume a specific walking time. The trail network can also be accessed from Reiu Puhkekeskus.

In winter, a floodlit 3 km artificial-snow track is added. It is intended for classic and freestyle skiing. Anyone visiting Reiu in the colder season can include a specific winter sports option in their plans. The area's natural attractions are complemented by the protected area on the Reiu River. There, the “Rivers and streams” habitat type (3260) is protected. The Reiu River is navigable from its mouth to the railway bridge.

Reiu Beach is suitable for a stay centred on water and landscapes. In the evening, it offers a particularly beautiful view. Depending on the season, you can watch the sun set over the sea or behind the forest. In summer, a visit to the beach can be combined with a break at the small Reiuranna Café. The café is located in the shade of the trees and offers light meals and drinks, including salads, pastries, grilled sandwiches and ice cream.

When choosing accommodation in Reiu, your travel focus may be the deciding factor: decide whether the beach and evening views, the marked trails or family-oriented excursions should be at the centre of your stay.

Pärnu Bay Golf Links can also be considered as a separate excursion destination. The coastal links-style course has sandy soil and fescue grasses. The course has a par of 72 and is 4,500 to 6,200 metres long, depending on the tee. The facilities include an 18-hole course, a course with five par-3 holes and practice areas for short and long shots. A two-hour golf introduction teaches the basics of the game and allows you to take your first shots under the guidance of a professional instructor.

Those who would like to visit a place of remembrance in addition to the beach and nature will find a mass grave of victims of terror in Reiu, marked by two memorials. One of them is a monument erected in 1967. For further comparison of destinations, you can also visit the pages for Paikuse, Saulepa, Kurgja, Leina, Pootsi, Pärnu, Papsaare and Kabli.
