Dunduriņi Nature Retreat


Dunduriņi sits within the grounds of the old Ārlava manor park, where the lake holds its stillness and mornings arrive with birdsong. A place to rest well.

Dunduriņi: A Quiet Place on the Kurzeme Lake

The Mood

Dunduriņi asks nothing of you but your presence. This is a place where the pace of things slows — where the rattle of the everyday falls away and something older, simpler, takes over. The grounds of the old Ārlava manor park hold the retreat gently, and the lake is always there, still and wide.

The Experience

Mornings here begin honestly: birdsong through the window, coffee on the terrace, the lake catching the early light. Dunduriņi offers both considered cottages and generous glamping tents — each one made with care, each one suited to couples, families, or small groups looking for something real.

The grounds offer room to move or room to stay still. Walk the old manor park paths. Take a rowing boat out into the quiet. Swim from the shore in the long afternoon. In the evenings, the hot tub and sauna wait beside the water. The fire pit glows low. The night comes slowly.

What to Expect

Lake-view cottages: Quiet and well-considered, with a fully equipped kitchen, private bathroom, and a terrace with a grill. Suited to two or up to four.

Glamping tents: Generous at 40m², with a view directly across the water. You fall asleep to wind in the reeds, and wake to the sound of the lake.

On and around the water: Rowing boats, SUP boards, a pedal boat, a swimming area, hot tub, sauna, and a well-tended fire pit — room for both activity and stillness.

Service house: A fully equipped facility with showers, WC, a kitchen and laundry for those arriving by tent or campervan.

Wilderio tip: Spend a slow morning walking the old Ārlava manor park — the old trees and hidden clearings reward those who wander without a plan.

The experience

We want to offer you the kind of stay we would want ourselves. A place to slow down, to be near the water, to find a particular kind of quiet. The architecture settles gently into the landscape. Each morning begins with the sound of birds and the soft movement of the lake.
