An Exclusive Place in Latvia for Recreation Closer to Nature

Do you ever dream of escaping far away from the hustle and bustle of the city? Do you dream of relaxing from all the work and phones, to hide somewhere in the forest, maybe even in the trees, and wake up every morning to the chirping of birds? We know an absolutely magical place where you can find all this and more – and it’s just 3.5 hours away from Vilnius!

An exclusive place in Latvia for recreation closer to nature – Seko Saulei is just 300 km away from Vilnius, in Jurmala, well known to everyone. This is a campsite located in cozy bedrooms in “cocoons” on the trees, right on the banks of the Lielupe River.

Do you think there is no point in relaxing by the river when the sea is right next door? We guarantee that when you come here, you will forget not only about the sea, but also about everything in general – this place has such relaxing qualities!

Seko Saulei – an Exclusive Place in Latvia for Recreation Closer to Nature

We can confidently state that Seko Saulei is one of the most unique, interesting, perfectly located and wonderfully organized places to stay that we have seen in the Baltic States.

Why? This place is characterized not only by its excellent location, but also by the complexity of its services. Here you will find everything you need not only to restore a good connection with nature, but also to rest comfortably:

• The campsite is located in a quiet pine forest, on the very bank of the river – every evening you can watch the sunset from a different perspective, even from the water.
• Cozy sleeping cocoons on trees that provide a completely new sleeping experience.
• A large yard and a spacious beach area with a children’s playground, changing cabins.
• The floating terrace allows you to more than comfortably observe the beautiful nature around you and see the sunset from the perspective of the water. This raft is equipped with beanbags, a table and everything you might need for a fun vacation. This terrace can also be adapted for activities and meetings.
• The territory also has a magnificent dome with panoramic windows, where you can organize an unforgettable celebration. It operates from September to May and can accommodate up to 20 people.
• The owners rent many means of water entertainment: yacht, kayaks, water bikes, paddle boards.
• And something else very special – it all includes a water sauna and jacuzzi floating on the river! Yes, it’s not a fantasy – it’s the most real fun you can experience in Seko Saulei!
• This place is located near Jurmala, so you can enjoy the beaches and visit the city on the way.

A Special Overnight Stay Above the Ground – In the Trees

Although spending the night in strange places (hanging cocoons, treehouses, bachs by the sea, luxury glamping tents) has become more and more popular in recent years, spending the night in Seko Saulei cocoons, which they call “Chiekuri”, or in other words, in “sensory houses” is not only interesting, but, oddly enough, comfortable and very pleasant. Why?

• You will be sleeping about 1.5-2 meters above the ground. Low enough not to be scary, but high enough to be interesting.
• You can easily access your cocoon by climbing a short ladder.
• Two adults can comfortably stay inside. This cocoon also perfectly accommodates a family with two small children.
• Inside, you will have a cozy interior, essential items (table, rug, storage box) and most importantly – a charming view through the wide windows. You will see the flowing Lielupa, trees, birds and the rising sun.
• There are as many as 15 cocoons in the area, but all the cocoons are placed at a comfortable distance from each other. Each cocoon allows you to immerse yourself in a quiet and rewarding presence.
• The toilet and showers are about 50-100 meters from the cocoons, near the administration.
• If you’re still in doubt about security, it’s definitely worth it. The cocoons are fixed, there is a normal solid floor inside, and neither wind nor rain are terrible for these hanging tents.
