Hiiumaa is known for its lighthouses, unspoilt nature, Ristimäe, the islanders’ sense of humour and its remarkable winter ice road when conditions permit.
Relax on long sandy beaches, visit small villages and explore deep inland forests. Hiiumaa is ideal for hiking, sailing or simply a quiet break. Ristna is known for surfing and big waves, while Kassari is celebrated for its beautiful natural surroundings.
