The Hostess of Marja Holiday Resort: 6 Values That Draw Companies from the Capital to the Heart of Southern Estonian Nature

An increasing number of company executives consider it important to offer employees joint events as a change of pace from the office routine. It is crucial for these team events to meet the expectations of both management and staff, evoke positive emotions, and strengthen team synergy. Taking these criteria into account, Marja Holiday Resort has created a business client team event package that brings companies into the middle of the Southern Estonian forests, where they can gain clear thoughts, renewed vigor, cheerful spirits, and a rested mind. Sirje Kask, the manager of the tourist resort, explains in more detail the value your company can find at Marja Holiday Resort.

Marja Holiday Resort, located in Tõrva Parish, Valga County, has over 20 years of experience in visitor services, accommodation, and catering. According to Sirje Kask, the proprietor of the tourist resort, companies are looking for simplicity, comfort, and quality all at the same time. “City people want a complete break from the work environment, and an increasing number of companies are coming to us from Tallinn and Tartu. We offer plenty of space, pristine nature, animals and birds, our food is highly praised, and we focus on comfortable accommodation and sports activities,” says Sirje Kask, the owner of Marja Holiday Resort, who has created a format for companies where the schedule, menu, and group activities are tailored to their needs.

 
1. Complete Privacy: The Entire Resort Complex with Three Houses

Space and privacy are important for companies when organizing team days at the holiday resort. Marja Holiday Resort focuses on accommodating and catering to only one group at a time to ensure quality and dedication. For organizing events and seminars, the entire resort complex is at your disposal at Marja Holiday Resort: a spacious sauna house with a pond view and a cozy guesthouse. The granary house with its outdoor terrace is, in turn, an ideal spot for organizing dinners and team-building activities during the summer.

 
2. Excellent and Stable Internet Connection

Often, the charm lies in simple, comfortable, and seemingly unnoticeable things, and here at Marja Holiday Resort, we believe in fast internet. Although many rural areas in Estonia still cannot guarantee an internet connection as fast and stable as in Tallinn or Pärnu, our resort offers you a fiber-optic Wi-Fi connection. We have invested to ensure you can use the internet for web meetings and displaying materials at speeds up to 150 Mbit/s.

 
3. Delicious and Wholesome Food That Clients Praise

Besides the unique and wonderful natural environment, it is our food that brings guests back to us from Tallinn time and again. We offer companies the Marja Holiday Resort Head Chef’s menu, which we refine to meet your needs and expectations, ensuring that your breakfast, lunch, coffee breaks, and dinner become special moments. Our dishes are prepared by the proprietor, who holds a Master Chef professional qualification. The priorities of our catering service are, on the one hand, high-quality, local ingredients, and on the other, the revival of traditional food and its fusion with modern culinary technology.

 
4. “Experiences of “Estonian Roots”

No tourist resort in Estonia is complete without a proper sauna. We offer your group a genuine Estonian sauna experience—a good steam (leili), whisking (vihtlemine), and a dip in the pond or an ice-hole. The sauna house has two saunas for your use: a wood-fired sauna and a modern electric sauna. For the authentic Estonian sauna experience, we offer our guests homemade birch or oak whisks, and in winter, we prepare an ice-hole to invigorate your senses. In June and July, it is also possible to order a workshop on making your own sauna whisk right in the resort’s forests. After the relaxing sauna experience, we revitalize you with the Head Chef’s traditional dinner menu, “A Journey on Mulgimaa’s Food Trails,” where the forgotten recipes of our ancestors meet modern culinary technology.

 
5. A Selection of Sports Activities with Instruction

We like to think that a healthy mind is hidden in a healthy body. Therefore, we have invested extensively in diverse sports opportunities right on the resort grounds. On the multi-functional tennis court, opened in 2025, you can play badminton, basketball, volleyball, and football in addition to tennis. Besides the tennis court, you can organize a disc golf tournament on our unique professional disc golf course. Since true enjoyment of a sport comes when the fundamentals are mastered, we offer our guests tennis and disc golf lessons in cooperation with local athletes.

 
6. Canoe or Bog Hike in Summer, Skiing in Winter

Many groups visiting Marja Holiday Resort also wish to discover our Valga County region and its nature more broadly. To facilitate this, we have collaborated with the best local guides and nature tourism organizers to develop a program that includes a visit to the medieval order castle, a canoe trip, and a bog hike, all of which have received a lot of positive feedback. In winter, you can hike in the bog with snowshoes, and Tõrva also offers diverse ski trails.
By bringing your company’s team days or training to the scenic Marja Holiday Resort in Southern Estonia, you will have at your disposal a private resort complex, the Head Chef’s flavors, an Estonian sauna experience, and a wide selection of sports activities. You will undoubtedly return to the office with renewed energy and stronger synergy.
