Vēju Paradize

Latvia


‘Wind Paradise’ has 17 tidy rooms that are simple, yet feel distinctly beachy. Aloe plants are a clever touch, especially if you've spent one too many hours splashing around in the sea. Vēju’s on-site restaurant, open during summer, features fresh seafood and European cuisine. Guests enjoy a fabulous breakfast buffet.

The place runs a fleet of traditional wooden boats, available for hire.
