The Sous Chef is the operational backbone of the EHA kitchen. 

Within EHA’s retreat-first model (maximum capacity 22 guests), this role ensures the calm, consistent and high-quality execution of the culinary vision set by the Head of Culinary.

This is a mature leadership role within a small, visible and guest-facing kitchen team and a key contributor to the overall guest journey. 

We are looking for someone who:

• Does not require a large brigade to perform at their best 

• Can maintain quality without unnecessary complexity 

• Values guest-centred rhythm and wellbeing 

• Is calm, structured and dependable 

• Wants to play a long-term role in building a new hospitality model

Compensation and Benefits 

We offer a motivating remuneration package to attract a highly capable hospitality professional with a track record of excellence.  Applicants relocating to Hiiumaa may also be eligible for accommodation support.

Opening in Summer 2026, Eha is a pioneering luxury wellness retreat set on Estonia’s Hiiumaa Island. It offers an intimate, purpose-led experience that brings together contemporary Nordic design and ancestral Estonian rituals, guided by the country’s distinctive five-season rhythm. 

EHA is not a traditional hotel, restaurant, or spa. It is an integrated retreat experience where guests stay for a defined period and move through a carefully designed daily rhythm of nourishment, rest, sauna ritual, nature, and meaningful human interaction. 

The kitchen is central to this journey.
