At Eha, sustainability is not a programme or a certification exercise. It is a way of thinking that shapes every decision we make, from how the retreat is designed and operated to how we engage with the people, culture and landscapes of Hiiumaa.
Our vision is to create a place that exists in harmony with its surroundings and contributes positively to the island that inspires it. We believe hospitality should enrich a destination, strengthen local communities, celebrate cultural heritage and deepen guests' connection to nature.
A Light Footprint by Design
Our buildings are crafted to sit lightly on the land. Local materials, passive energy systems and low-impact methods reflect Hiiumaa’s beauty and ecological fragility.
At Eha, food nourishes body, land and community. Ingredients are sourced from our own kitchen garden and a growing network of regenerative producers. Menus shift with the seasons celebrating Estonian biodiversity and traditional practices.
Led by our Michelin Green Star chef, the kitchen is guided by zero-waste thinking. We preserve compost and reimagine waste at every step offering thoughtful meals with the lightest footprint.
Eha is a retreat and a platform for exchange, a place where island culture is both honoured and shared.
We create with the community, not just beside it. By partnering with local growers, makers, and knowledge-keepers, we bring Hiiumaa's culture and traditions into the guest experience. Over time, we hope to contribute further through youth initiatives, community partnerships, and shared spaces that benefit both residents and visitors.
Sustainability You Can Feel
Sustainability at Eha is sensory not prescriptive. Guests connect with systems that support life through experience not instruction. A sauna warmed by wood, a herbal tea ritual, a quiet moment in the garden. These become pathways to presence and care.
We use gentle nudges, behavioural cues and storytelling to invite conscious choices that continue long after the stay ends.
