Gyms in Palanga – our recommendation.

There are quite a few gyms in Palanga, but we would especially like to recommend Gym+ to our guests.

Gym+ Palanga — Taikos g. 68A

In our opinion, it is one of the best gyms in Palanga — modern, spacious and very well equipped. The 700+ m² club features strength and cardio areas, a functional training zone, two group exercise studios and the option to work out with a personal trainer.

Address: Taikos g. 68A, Palanga
Opening hours: 24/7.

This is especially convenient for our guests coming from other cities in Lithuania. The Gym+ network has 39 clubs in 11 cities across Lithuania, and with the appropriate membership, members can use different clubs within the network. So if you already work out at Gym+ in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda or another city, you can simply continue your training while staying in Palanga.

The Palanga Gym+ offers a variety of group classes, including yoga, Pilates, mobility, HIIT, functional training and more.

We would also especially like to mention trainer Ieva Sadzevičiūtė. In our opinion, she is simply an amazing trainer — professional, energetic, attentive and truly inspiring. She offers both personal and group training.

If you would like more than just an independent workout and would appreciate professional guidance and extra motivation, we warmly recommend Ieva. 

Horses — time to be together.

Horses have always held a special place in our family. We have spent many wonderful years around them — our daughter has been riding since she was very young, and the stables around Palanga have therefore become a part of our family story.

Today, we sometimes visit a stable simply to spend time together — to feed the horses, stroke them, take a walk or just enjoy being in nature. It is one of those simple experiences that helps us slow down and truly relax.

There are several stables around Palanga where you can try horse riding, take part in training sessions or simply enjoy a peaceful horseback walk. Some of the most beautiful rides follow the trails of the Palanga Regional Park, along the sea and through nature.

But there is one place that is especially close to our hearts — Žigmo Žirgai. It was at this family-run stable that our own journey with horses began. We have always felt warmth, sincerity and a genuine love for the animals here. That is why we are especially happy to recommend this place to our guests.

You do not need to know how to ride or have any previous experience. A calm horse, an experienced guide and nature — sometimes that is all you need for a few hours to become a truly restorative experience.

Cycling – discovering Palanga from a different perspective.

Palanga and its surroundings are simply made for cycling. Beautiful bike paths wind through pine forests, along the sea and connect Palanga with some of the most picturesque places in the surrounding area.

One of our favourite routes is about 53 km long. But you certainly don't have to choose a long distance right away – everyone can find their own pace and their own route. For some, it is a great workout; for others, a peaceful ride by the sea or simply a wonderful way to discover Palanga and its surroundings.

We often ride bicycles ourselves, and every year we even have a little friendly competition with our guests – who can ride the furthest. There really is a challenge here for everyone.

Some of the most beautiful paths wind through the pine forests. From time to time, wonderful views of the sea open up between the trees, while cycling along the coast you can enjoy the scent of pine trees, the fresh sea air and the beautiful nature of Palanga.

The same paths are also perfect for rollerblading.

If you come to Palanga with your own bicycles, we have a special little bike house on the Villa Artemide grounds where you can store them safely. And if you don't have a bicycle with you – no problem. There is a bicycle rental point nearby, just a 5-minute walk from Villa Artemide.

Sometimes the best way to discover Palanga is not by car, but simply by pedalling, breathing in the fresh pine-forest air and letting the road show you where to go. 

Nordic Walking — Movement in Nature.

The seaside and pine forests of Palanga are perfect for walking, and Nordic walking is a wonderful way to enjoy nature while staying active.

It is a simple yet highly effective form of exercise – walking with special poles similar to ski poles. Today, Nordic walking is becoming increasingly popular and is suitable for people of different ages and fitness levels.

Walking with poles engages more muscles throughout the body, making it more intensive than ordinary walking. Studies suggest that Nordic walking can be around 40% more effective than regular walking, while proper technique can also help reduce the strain on the knee joints.

The pine forests of Palanga, fresh sea air and long coastal paths create the perfect setting to try this active yet wonderfully relaxing way of spending time outdoors.

Sometimes, all you need to feel good is a comfortable pair of shoes, walking poles and a few kilometres of a beautiful path.

“Labrytys” Running Trail — Exercise in the Pine Forest by the Sea.

Running is a wonderful way to stay active, strengthen your body and clear your mind. But running through a pine forest, breathing in the fresh forest air and catching glimpses of the sea through the trees is an experience of its own.

Palanga is home to the 3 km “Labrytys” running trail, which starts on Jūratės Street and stretches all the way to the “Medūza” hotel. The trail winds through the pine forest, allowing you to exercise while enjoying nature and the nearby sea.

For those who enjoy a more varied workout, four outdoor fitness areas with exercise equipment have been installed along the trail. This makes it possible to combine running with strength and fitness exercises in the fresh air.

It is a wonderful place for a morning run, an active walk or simply a short workout surrounded by nature.

Sometimes exercise feels even better when you are surrounded by pine trees, the sea and the fresh air of Palanga. 

Outdoor & Indoor Tennis, Padel — Sport in Palanga.

What matters to a tennis lover planning a trip to Palanga? Of course, good weather and the availability of a suitable court. And in Palanga, there is certainly no shortage of choice.

Throughout the city and its surroundings, you will find a variety of tennis courts, both outdoors and indoors. Just a short distance from Villa Artemide, there are outdoor tennis courts  near Pušyno rehabilitation center, while the new Palangos teniso arena has recently opened in Palanga, offering indoor tennis courts. It is a great option for enjoying tennis regardless of the weather.

For those looking for something even more dynamic, padel is becoming increasingly popular. It is a fun and energetic game that is easy to try even if you have little previous experience. More and more padel courts are appearing in Palanga and the surrounding area, including the modern Oshee Teniso ir Padelio arena in Vydmantai, just outside Palanga. It offers indoor tennis and padel courts, making it possible to play all year round.

Many of the courts offer training with experienced coaches for both children and adults. If you wish, we will be happy to recommend coaches whom we have tried ourselves.

And if the weather is not on your side, or you simply feel like playing right here on our grounds, a table tennis table is available at Villa Artemide. So you can always pick up a racket and have a game. 

Children’s Playground Near the Sea.

Just a 5-minute walk from Villa Artemide towards the sea, you will find a new and welcoming children’s playground.

The colourful play complex includes climbing steps, swings and slides, all designed as a little world of adventure with a ship, a fortress and a steam train. 

The playground is fully fenced, providing children with a safe and dedicated space to play. The ground is covered with sand, offering additional softness and safety while playing.

Admission is free, and free Wi-Fi is also available within the playground area.

It is a lovely place to stop on the way to the sea — while the children play, parents can take a moment to relax.

Sanatoriums & Rehabilitation Centres Near Villa Artemide.

If you would like to combine your stay in Palanga with wellness, rehabilitation or SPA treatments, you will find several well-known health and wellness centres close to Villa Artemide.

“Pušynas” Recreation and Rehabilitation Centre is a wonderful choice for those who would like to combine a seaside holiday with wellness and rehabilitation treatments. The centre is surrounded by pine forests and located close to the sea.

“Palangos Linas” is a multidisciplinary medical and rehabilitation centre offering rehabilitation, wellness and recreational services to both Lithuanian and international guests.

If you are planning not only to relax but also to devote some time to your health and well-being, we will be happy to help you choose the most suitable place according to the treatments and services you are looking for.

A holiday by the sea can be not only enjoyable, but also beneficial for your body and overall well-being.

Yoga on the Villa Artemide Terrace.

There are many places to practise yoga in Palanga, but we would love to invite you to experience yoga right here at Villa Artemide.

Our daughter Maria is currently completing her second year of studies in kinesitherapy at university and is a certified yoga teacher. During the summer, she occasionally leads yoga sessions on our terrace.

Imagine starting your morning in our garden: surrounded by greenery, listening to the birds singing, breathing in the fresh air and taking some time just for yourself. No rushing, no car and no need to go anywhere — simply step onto the terrace and begin your day with yoga.

For us, yoga is more than just exercise. It is a peaceful way to awaken the body, calm the mind and start the day feeling refreshed and positive.
