Baltic Sea · Estonia · One Island, Limitless Possibilities
A Carbon-Negative Sovereign Eco-Community
in the Heart of the Baltic
Viirelaid Island — historically known as Paternoster — is an 81-hectare private island located approximately four kilometres off the Estonian coast, between the mainland and Muhu Island in the Baltic Sea.
Rising no more than 4.5m above sea level, the island's pristine, flat landscape and maritime location make it an ideal canvas for the most ambitious sustainability experiment of our era. Estonia ranked #1 globally in the 2024 Environmental Performance Index — Viirelaid makes that ranking tangible, measurable, and investable.
A Strategic Collaboration Agreement signed in Dubai, UAE, with BigWater Inc. marks the beginning of a transformative partnership to evolve this island into the world's premier carbon-negative eco-community.
