Hiiumaa is Estonia's second-largest island and part of the West Estonian Archipelago. Long stretches of coastline, beaches, forests, small islands and marked hiking trails characterize the landscape. Anyone looking to rent a holiday apartment in Hiiumaa can plan a trip that brings together days in nature, the sea, island history and maritime discoveries. It therefore makes sense to begin your accommodation search by considering the main focus of your trip.

Key facts

  • Hiiumaa is Estonia's second-largest island and belongs to the West Estonian Archipelago.
  • The island includes stretches of coastline, beaches, forests, small islands and marked hiking trails.
  • Lighthouses, harbor towns, nature experiences and local fish dishes shape the possible travel impressions.
  • Hiiumaa can be reached by ferry or plane; bus connections run to Kärdla and via Käina to Kärdla.

Nature, lighthouses and island cuisine

Island experiences include fishing, seal watching, as well as hiking, cycling, horseback riding and sea excursions. This allows you to plan a varied stay: days in nature can be followed by maritime experiences or a trip to historical sites, without limiting the journey to a single theme.

Lighthouses such as Kõpu, Ristna and Tahkuna combine the island's nature with history and views. In Käina, the Windtower Experience Centre combines museum, research and gaming elements. Local fish dishes and fresh fish are also part of the general island experience when traveling to Hiiumaa.

Which search direction suits your travel plans?

The right location on Hiiumaa depends primarily on the desired mix of nature, sea, culture and activities. For maritime days, you can compare Kärdla, Sõru and Orjaku as possible search areas when looking for accommodation. Hiiumaa's visitor harbors also include Roograhu and the harbor towns mentioned above. This allows you to align your accommodation search with your planned sea and harbor experiences without presuming proximity to a particular accommodation or specific amenities.

Anyone wishing to combine nature excursions with lighthouses, historical sites and the Windtower Experience Centre can compare offers around the places and regions mentioned, including Käina for the Windtower. If you consider Kärdla as a separate search area, you can compare current accommodation offers in Kärdla and plan local cuisine as an additional island experience.

Combining travel arrangements and accommodation searches

Ferry services run to Hiiumaa; the island can also be reached by plane. If you are traveling without your own car, you can initially focus your search on offers along the bus connections to Kärdla and via Käina to Kärdla. Please check current ferry, flight and bus connections separately before your trip, as timetables and offers may change.

Whether you are looking for a holiday apartment, holiday home or hotel: Compare the current offers with the focus of your planned island destinations. A search area for harbors, Käina, Kärdla or nature experiences connects your choice of accommodation with your actual travel itinerary. This keeps Hiiumaa at the center of your trip while helping you narrow down the right location for your further planning.
