Narva-Jõesuu is a town in eastern Estonia at the Gulf of Finland, 15 km north from Narva.
At the beginning of the 19th century the town with its villas and spas became a popular summer holiday destination for wealthy visitors from St Petersburg. During World War II, many buildings were destroyed and the significance of Narva-Jõesuu as a resort town decreased. After the war, during the Soviet era, Narva-Jõesuu was mainly a resort town for middle-class. But after the Soviet Union, tourism decreased again. Hence, some of the resorts are now abandoned. Nevertheless, some spas are still in business.
